The usual behavior of rational approximation. II (Q1801548)

The author compares the speeds of convergence of best rational approximations, best polynomial approximations and the modulus of continuity on the unit disc. For instance, let \(D=\{z\); \(| z|\leq 1\}\), \(A\) the space of the functions which are analytic in \(| z|<1\) and continuous on \(| z|=1\), \(E_ n(f)_ D = \min_{p\in P_ n} \text{Max}_{x\in D} | f(z)- p(z)|\) and \(R_ n(f)_ D = \min_{{{p/q} \atop {p,q\in P_ n}}} \max_{z\in D} | f(z)- p(z)/q(z)|\). Then \(A_ 1= \{f\in A\); \(\limsup_{n\to\infty} R_ n(f)_ D/ E_ n(f)_ D=1\}\) is residual in \(A\), i.e. a complement of a category 1 set in Baire's sense. Similar problems in interval \([-1,1]\) are also examined. Finally, the author considers a Turán's problem and gives a negative answer.
