Approximation by the class of functions with bounded second derivative (Q2518075)

For \(n\in{\mathbb N}\), let \({\mathcal D}^n=\{g\in {AC}^{n-1}[a,b]:\;|g^{(n)}(x)|\leq 1\) everywhere, where \(g^{(n)}\) exists \(\}\) and let \(\omega_n\) be the classical modulus of continuity of order \(n\). The author obtains the following inequality: \[ E(f,{\mathcal D}^2)<1\cdot\sup_{h\in(0,(b-a)/2]}[\omega_2(f,h)-h^2],\;f\in C[a,b]\setminus {\mathcal D}^2 \] and prove that the constant \(1\) is the best possible. This result is the analogous of the result of Kornechuk: \[ E(f,{\mathcal D}^1)=\frac12\cdot\sup_{h\in(0,b-a]}[\omega_1(f,h)-h],\;f\in C[a,b]\setminus {\mathcal D}^1. \]
