Abstract:
Some problems of the approximation theory require estimating the best approximation of $2\pi$-periodic
functions by trigonometric polynomials in the space
$L_2$, and while doing this, instead of the usual modulus of continuity
$\omega_{m}(f, t)$, sometimes it is more convenient to use
an equivalent
characteristic $\Omega_{m}(f, t)$ called the generalized modulus of
continuity.
Similar averaged characteristic of the smoothness of a
function was considered by
K.V. Runovskiy and E.A. Storozhenko, V.G. Krotov and P. Oswald while studying important issues of constructive
function theory in metric space $L_{p}$, $0 < p < 1$. In the
space $L_2$, in finding exact constants in the Jackson-type
inequality, it was used by S.B. Vakarchuk. We continue studies of problems approximation theory and consider
new sharp inequalities of the type Jackson–Stechkin relating the
best approximations of differentiable periodic functions by
trigonometric polynomials with integrals containing generalized
modules of continuity. For classes of functions defined by means of these
characteristics, we calculate exact values of
some known $n$-widths are calculated.
