Jackson's inequality
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In approximation theory, Jackson's inequality is an inequality (proved by Dunham Jackson) between the value of function's best approximation by polynomials and the modulus of continuity of its derivatives. Here is one of the simple cases (concerning approximation by trigonometric polynomials):
Theorem: If ![f: [0, 2\pi] \to \mathbb{C}](../../../math/8/0/2/8028bc69516f51c21e720bc8a1fbb4fb.png)
is a r times differentiable periodic function such that
then, for every natural n, there exists a trigonometric polynomial Pn − 1 of degree at most n − 1 such that
where C(r) depends only on r.
A more general fact:
Theorem Denote by ω(δ,f(r)) the modulus of continuity of the r-th derivative of f. Then one can find Pn − 1 such that
Generalisations and extensions are called Jackson-type theorems. See also Bernstein-type theorems for reverse results.
