On Jackson type inequality in Orlicz classes (Q5956915)

The author shows that Jackson type inequality fails in the Orlicz classes \(\varphi(L)\) if \(\varphi(x)\) decreases to \(0\) for \(x\to+0\) or increases to \(+\infty\) for \(x\to+\infty\) slower than a power function of an arbitrary order. Moreover, for such \(\varphi(x)\) the modulus of continuity turns out in general to be unfit to estimate the rate of approaching \(0\) of a best trigonometric approximation in \(\varphi(L)\) in the sense that the inequality remains false even after replacing \((n+1)^{-1}\) by an arbitrary sequence of positive numbers \(\{\sigma_n\}_{n=1}^{+\infty}\) that goes to \(0\) for \(n\to+\infty\). This result is proved not only for the trigonometric system, but also for a more general class of systems called non-localized. It is shown that this class contains all systems of \(2\pi\)-periodic analytic functions. The property of ``non-locality'' makes clear the difference between the trigonometric system and the system of piece-wise constant functions for which a Jackson type inequality holds in \(\varphi(L)\), where \(\varphi(x)\) satisfies only the natural conditions, and in particular, can have practically an arbitrary behaviour at the neighbourhood of \(0\) and/or \(+\infty\).
