Direct and inverse approximation theorems for local trigonometric bases (Q1867491)

The approximation of smooth approximands by trigonometric bases with respect to the \(L^p\)-norm is investigated. Here \(1\leq p\leq\infty\). The special interest in this article lies in the local approximation, and the best approximation on an interval is described by direct (Jackson-type) and inverse approximation theorems. The bases used for the approximation are trigonometric and supported on intervals. Among further results, the approximation orders achievable for target functions from Besov spaces are given and, conversely, sufficient conditions for a function to be an element of Besov spaces, depending on its distance from a space spanned by local trigonometric approximants, are provided.
