For \(2\pi\)-periodic functions, there is a well-known relation between the \(r\)th modulus of smoothness \(\omega_r(f,\delta)_p\) of a function in \(L_p([0,2\pi])\) and its best approximations \(E_n(f)_p\) by trigonometric polynomials of degree less than or equal to \(n-1\). Considering nonperiodic functions on a finite subinterval of the real axis, one fails to establish such relations between usual moduli of smoothness of these functions and their best approximations by algebraic polynomials. However, using generalized moduli of smoothness that are defined by a family of asymmetric generalized translation operators, an analogous relation to best approximations by algebraic polynomials can be shown.
