Let \(Y=\{y_1, \ldots, y_s\}\), \(-1=y_{s+1}<y_s<\ldots < y_1<y_0=1\), and \[ \Delta^{(1)}(Y)=\{ f \in C[-1,1]: (-1)^i f = \text{ is non increasing on } [y_i,y_{i-1}], i=1, \ldots, s+1 \}. \] Denote by \(\mathbb P_n\) the space of all polynomials of degree \(\leq n\), and \[ E_n^{(1)}(f;Y)=\inf \{ \| f -P_n \| _{C[-1,1]}: P_n \in \mathbb P_n \cap \Delta^{(1)}(Y) \}. \] The authors investigate all the cases when constants \(B, N >0\) can be found, such that for any \(f \in C^{(r)}[-1,1] \cap \Delta^{(1)}(Y) \) and \( n \geq N\) a polynomial \(P_n \in \mathbb P_n \cap \Delta^{(1)}(Y)\) exists satisfying \[ | f(x)-P_n(x)| \leq B \rho_n^r(x) \omega_k(f^{(r)}; \rho_n(x)) \tag{*} \] for all \(x \in [-1,1]\). Here \[ \rho_n(x)={1 \over n^2}+ = {\sqrt{1-x^2} \over n } \] and \(\omega_k(f;t)\) is the \(k\)th modulus of continuity of \(f\). The bound \[ E_n^{(1)}(f;Y) \leq B {1 \over n^r} \omega_k(f^{(r)}; 1/n) , \] weaker than (*), is also studied.
