To the question of approximation of continuous periodic functions by trigonometric polynomials

Abstract

In the paper, it is proved that$$1 - \frac{1}{2n} \leqslant \sup\limits_{\substack{f \in C\\f \ne const}} \frac{E_n(f)_C}{\omega_2(f; \pi/n)_C} \leqslant \inf\limits_{L_n \in Z_n(C)} \sup\limits_{\substack{f \in C\\f \ne const}} \frac{\| f - L_n(f) \|_C}{\omega_2 (f; \pi/n)_C} \leqslant 1$$where $\omega_2(f; t)_C$ is the modulus of smoothness of the function $f \in C$, $E_n(f)_C$ is the best approximation by trigonometric polynomials of the degree not greater than $n-1$ in uniform metric, $Z_n(C)$ is the set of linear bounded operators that map $C$ to the subspace of trigonometric polynomials of degree not greater than $n-1$.
