An extremal relation of the theory of approximation of functions by algebraic polynomials (Q5939935)

The author has made notable steps towards constructting a theory of approximation of functions on a finite interval by algebraic polynomials, an analogous one to the known periodic case. Making use of the technique of Jacobi polynomials, he obtains an extremal relation in this theory, too. He also introduces some differential operators which are some analogues of derivatives; and the Jacobi polynomials are eigenfunctions of these differential operators. There are considered some classes of functions representable in the form of generalized convolution.
