Abstract

We estimate the degree of comonotone polynomial approximation of continuous functions f, on [-1,1], that change monotonicity s≥1 times in the interval, when the degree of unconstrained polynomial approximation E n(f)≤n , n≥1. We ask whether the degree of comonotone approximation is necessarily ≤c(α,s)n , n≥1, and if not, what can be said. It turns out that for each s≥1, there is an exceptional set A s of α's for which the above estimate cannot be achieved.
