\(K\)-functional, weighted moduli of smoothness, and best weighted polynomial approximation on a simplex (Q1806299)

For weighted polynomial approximation we know that \[ \omega^r_\varphi(f, t)_{w,p}\leq Mt^r \sum_{0\leq n\leq 1/t} (n+1)^{r-1} E_n(f)_{w,p}, \] \(1\leq p\leq\infty\), where \(\omega^r_\varphi(f, t)_{w,p}\) is the weighted Ditzian-Totik modulus with Jacobi type weight. In this paper, the author obtains the results of this type for a simplex \(S\) with \(w(x)_\alpha\) a Jacobi type weight and \(0<p\leq\infty\), where \[ S= \Biggl\{(x_1,x_2,\dots, x_d): x_i\geq 0,\;1-\sum^d_{i=1} x_i\geq 0\Biggr\}, \] \[ w_\alpha(x)= \Biggl(1- \sum^d_{i=1} x_i\Biggr)^{\alpha_0} x^{\alpha_1}_1\cdots x^{\alpha_d}_d, \] \(0<\alpha_i< 1\), \(i= 0,1,\dots, d\). Otherwise, for Ditzian-Totik \(K\)-functionals on \(L_p(S)\), \(1\leq p\leq\infty\), a new equivalence expression is given.
