On the exact constant in the Jackson-Stechkin inequality for the uniform metric (Q2272174)

In the well-known Jackson-Stechkin inequality the value of the best approximation \( E_{n-1}(f)\) of a \(2\pi -\)periodic function by trigonometric polynomials of degree \(\leq n-1\) is estimated by \(r-\)th modolus of smoothness \(\omega _r\) of \(f\). This inequality has the form \[ E_{n-1}(f)\leq c_r w_r(f;\frac{2\pi}{n}), \] where \(c_r\) is some constant that depends only on \(r\). The main result is that \[ (1-\frac{1}{r+1})\gamma _r^*\leq c_r<5\gamma_r^*,\;\text{ where }\gamma _r^*= \frac{1}{{r\choose [\frac{r}{2}]}}\asymp \frac{r^{1/ 2}}{2^r}. \] Moreover, the same upper bound is valid for the constant \(c_{r,p}\) in the Stechkin inequality for \(L_p-\)metrics with \(p\in [1,\infty ).\)
