Moduli of smoothness related to fractional Riesz-derivatives (Q2259317)

Summary: New moduli of smoothness \(\omega_{\langle \beta \rangle}(f, \delta)_p\), \(0<\beta<1\), related to the Riesz derivative of order \(\beta\) are introduced. Their properties are studied in \(L_p\)-spaces of \(2\pi\)-periodic functions for \(0<p \leq +\infty\). The modulus \(\omega_{\langle \beta \rangle}(f, \delta)_p\) is shown to be equivalent to the polynomial \(K\)-functional associated with the corresponding Riesz derivative. As a consequence direct Jackson-type and inverse Bernstein-type estimates are proved and the quality of approximation by methods generated by Riesz kernels is described in terms of these moduli.
