Convex polynomial approximation in R^d with Freud weights

Abstract: We show that for multivariate Freud-type weights

W_{a} l p h a (x) = e x p (- | x |^{a} l p h a)

,

a l p h a > 1

, any convex function

f

on

R^{d}

satisfying

f W_{a} l p h a i n L_{p} (R^{d})

if

1 l e p < i n f t y

, or

l i m_{| x | o i n f t y} f (x) W_{a} l p h a (x) = 0

if

p = i n f t y

, can be approximated in the weighted norm by a sequence

P_{n}

of algebraic polynomials convex on

R^{d}

such that

| (f - P_{n}) W_{a} l p h a |_{L_{p} (R^{d})} o 0

as

n o i n f t y

. This extends the previously known result for

d = 1

and

p = i n f t y

obtained by the first author to higher dimensions and integral norms using a completely different approach.
