Given a sequence of natural numbers \(\{m(n)\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\), \(m(n)\leq n\) (\(n\in \mathbb N\)), and a function \(f\in C^{(s)}[0,1]\), the paper deals with the simultaneous approximation of \(f\) and its derivatives, on certain compact subsets of \([0,1]\), by using the polynomials \[ P_n(f)=\sum_{k=m(n)}^{n}f(k/n){n\choose k}x^k(1-x)^{n-k} \] and \[ \widetilde{P}_n(f)=\sum_{k=m(n)}^{n}\left[f(k/n){n\choose k}\right]x^k(1-x)^{n-k}. \] Specifically, the following Müntz-type results are proved: {a)} If \[ \lim \sup_{n\rightarrow \infty}{m(n)\over n}=c<1, \] then \(P_n(f)\) and \(\widetilde{P}_n(f)\) converge to \(f\) in the usual norm of \(C^{(s)}[a,b]\) whenever \[ 1-2^{-1/(1-c)}<a<b<1. \] {b)} If \[ \lim \sup_{n\rightarrow \infty}{m(n)\log_2n\over n}=c<1, \] then \(P_n(f)\) and \(\widetilde{P}_n(f)\) converge to \(f\) in the usual norm of \(C^{(s)}[a,b]\) whenever \[ 1-2^{-c}<a<b<1. \] The paper also contains final remarks concerning the approximation of a multivariate function \(f\) and its partial derivatives by natural extensions of \(P_n(f)\) and \(\widetilde{P}_n(f)\). Finally, some open problems are stated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1002.00009].
