Review text

It is known [\textit{M. Ghomi}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 130, No.~8, 2255--2259 (2002; Zbl 0999.26008)] that every convex function on an open interval \(I\) can be uniformly approximated by convex \(C^\infty\)-functions on every compact subinterval \([a,b]\) of \(I\). Ghomi's approach requires the knowledge of Lebesgue integral and convolutions. The aim of the paper under review is to give an elementary proof of the above mentioned approximation property requiring only first year calculus and linear algebra.
