The paper contains the lecture by the author at the conference on constructive theory of functions, in Varna 2002. The paper deals with two interesting questions about the equivalence of K-functionals. Let the triple \((X,Y,\mathcal D)\) be such that \(X\) be a Banach space of functions, \(Y\) a dense subspace, and \(\mathcal D\) a differential operator defined on some of the elements in \(X\). Denote by \({\mathcal D}^{-1}(X):=\{g\in X\mid{\mathcal D}g\in X\}\). Then the K-functional is defined by \[ K(f,t):=K(f,t;X,Y,\mathcal D):=\inf\{\| f-g\| _X+t\| {\mathcal D}g\| _X\mid g\in Y\cap{\mathcal D}^{-1}(X)\}. \] Given two triples \((X_i,Y_i,{\mathcal D}_i)\), \(i=1,2\). The paper discusses under which conditions there is an invertible bounded linear operator \(\mathcal A:X_1\mapsto X_2\), such that \[ K(f,t;X_1,Y_1,{\mathcal D}_1)\sim K({\mathcal A}f,t;X_2,Y_2,{\mathcal D}_2), \] and when can we find for a given triple \((X_1,Y_1,{\mathcal D}_1)\), an appropriate triple \((X_2,Y_2,{\mathcal D}_2)\), for which the K-functional is known.
