On the exact values of the best approximations of classes of differentiable periodic functions by splines (Q368203): Difference between revisions

Let \(H\) be a subspace of \(2\pi\)-periodic real-valued \(L^p\) functions. Let \(E(f,H)\) denote the best approximation function and for a class of functions \(M\), let \(E(M,F) = \sup_{f \in M} E(f,F)\). Let \(S^1_{2n,m}\) denote the space of \(2\pi\)-periodic polynomial splines of order \(m\) with deficiency \(1\) with nodes at the points \( \frac {j\pi}{n}\). If \(F\) is the unit ball of the space \(L^p\), \(W^r F\) is the Sobolev class of functions whose \((r-1)\)th derivative is locally absolutely continuous and \(\|f^{(r)}\|_p \leq 1\). For an arbitrary II-invariant set of \(2 \pi\)-periodic functions \(F\), the authors obtain an integral formula for \(E( W^r F, S^1_{2n,m}(h))\), under the conditions \(m \geq r +1\), \(0<h<\frac{2 \pi}{n}\), \(p = 1\).
