The Jackson operator \(J_ n\) is defined on the function space \(C_{2\pi}\) by \[ J_ n(f)(x)={3\over 2\pi n(2n^ 2+1)} \int^ \pi_{-\pi} f(t)\left[{\sin(n\textstyle{{t-x\over 2}}})\over\sin\textstyle{{t-x\over 2}}\right]^ 4 dt. \] Let \(\omega(f;t)\) denote the modulus of continuity of \(f\in C_{2\pi}\), and let \(E_ n(f)\) denote the best approximation of \(f\in C_{2\pi}\) by the trigonometric polynomials of degree \(n\). The results of this paper can be stated as follows. Theorem 1. For any \(n\geq 1\) and any \(f\in C_{2\pi}\), \(\| J_ n(f)- f\|_ c\leq \Bigl(4-{6\over \pi}\Bigr)\omega\Bigl(f;{1\over n}\Bigr)\), where the equality holds only for constant functions and the constant \(4- {6\over \pi}\) is best possible in the sense that \[ \sup_{n\in\mathbb{N}} \sup_{f\in C_{2\pi} f\neq\text{Constant}}{\| f-J_ n(f)\|_ c\over \omega(f;\textstyle{{1\over n}})}= 4-{6\over \pi}. \] Theorem 2. For any \(f\in C_{2\pi}\) and \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), \(E_ n(f)\leq \Bigl(7-{21\over 2\pi}\Bigr)\omega\Bigl(f;{1\over n}\Bigr)\), where the equality holds only for constant functions.
