The author makes use of studies by himself and others on the behavior of generalized polynomials and in particular, oscillating generalized polynomials, in order to obtain estimates on \(E_ n(\alpha)\) and \(E_ n'(\alpha)\) the degree of approximation of \(x^{\alpha}\), \(\alpha>0\), by means of polynomials of degree \(\leq n\) and by means of such polynomials which vanish at \(x=0\), respectively. The estimates are given by means of the coefficients of the Chebyshev polynomials \(T_{2n}\) and \(T_{2n+1}\). If \(\text{coef}(u,v)\) denotes the coefficient of \(x^ u\) in \(T_ v\), then it is shown that for \(\alpha\in[k,k+1]\) we have \(E_ n(\alpha)<E_ n'(\alpha)<1/\text{coef}(2k,2n)\) and if \(\alpha\in[k+1\over 2,k+1]\) then \(E_ n(\alpha)<E_ n'(\alpha)<1/\text{coef}(2k+1,2n+1)\). See earlier work of the author [J. Approximation Theory 23, 163-174 (1978; Zbl 0386.41004)].
