[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00075.] Let \(f\) be a function continuous but not analytic on the interval \([0,1]\). The function \(f\) may be considered as naturally defined on a plane domain \(D\), where \(f\) is analytic at some points of \(D\). Let \(D^*\) denote the set of points on \([0,1]\) at which \(f\) is analytic, and, for \(x\in [0,1]\), let \(d(x)\) denote the distance from \(x\) to the nearest singularity of \(f\) in \(D\). Also, let \(E_ n(f)\) denote the best sup norm approximation of \(f\) on \([0,1]\) by polynomials of degree at most \(n\). The author proves that if \(0<\alpha<1\), \(\beta>1\), and \(\{\delta_ n\}\) is a sequence of positive numbers with the properties \(\delta_ n\to 0\) and \(\delta_ n^{1/n}\to 1\), then there exists a sequence \(\{P_ n\}\) of polynomials, where the degree of \(P_ n\) is at most \(n\), such that both \(\| f-P_ n\|\leq E_{\alpha n}(f)+ \delta_ n\) for \(n=1,2,3,\dots\), and, for \(x\in[0,1]\), \[ | f(x)-P_ n(x)|\leq C_{f,x} e^{-cn(d(x))^ \beta}, \] where \(\|\cdot\|\) denotes the sup norm on \([0,1]\), \(c>0\) is an absolute constant, and \(C_{f,x}\) is bounded on compact subsets of \(D^*\). This improves a result due to \textit{K. G. Ivanov}, \textit{E. B. Saff}, and the author [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 104, 153-161 (1989; Zbl 0668.41006)]. The present result enables the author to settle affirmatively two recent conjectures due to G. Mastroianni and J. Szabados.
