Abstract

We prove that for f∈Lp, 0<p<1, and k a positive integer, there exists an algebraic polynomial Pn of degree ≤n such that {Mathematical expression} where ωkφ{symbol}(f, t)p is the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness of f in Lp, and C is a constant depending only on k and p. Moreover, if f is nondecreasing and k≤2, then the polynomial Pn can also be taken to be nondecreasing.
