Polynomial approximation on domains bounded by diffeomorphic images of graphs (Q435177)

The paper deals with the approximation of a function by polynomials in a connected domain \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d\). The author looks for a Bramble-Hilbert type inequality \[ \| \partial^\alpha (f-\pi)\|_{L^p(\Omega)}\leq c\sum\limits_{|\beta|=n} \| \partial^\beta f\|_{L^p(\Omega)}, \quad | \alpha| \leq n, \] for \(f\in W^n_p(\Omega)\) and \(\pi\) a polynomial of order \(n\). The results are presented for graph domains, i.e., domains which are assumed to be bounded by a family of axis-aligned graphs of continuous functions. The author gives expressions for the constants \(c\). In particular, Poincaré-type estimates are established for generalized graph domains which are bounded by a family of diffeomorphic images of graphs of continuous functions and these results are used to derive approximation properties of \(D\)-invariant spaces of polynomials.
