Uniform convergence for sequences of best L^{p} approximation

Publication date: 30 November 2021

Abstract: Let

f

be a continuous monotone real function defined on a compact interval

[a, b]

of the real line. Given a sequence of partitions of

[a, b]

,

% D e l t a_{n}

,

l e f t V e r t {D e l t a}_{n} i g h t V e r t i g h t a r r o w 0

, and given

l g e q 0, m g e q 1

, let

m a t h b f S_{m}^{l} (D e l t a_{n})

be the space of all functions with the same monotonicity of

f

that are

% D e l t a_{n}

-piecewise polynomial of order

m

and that belong to the smoothness class

C^{l} [a, b]

. In this paper we show that, for any

m g e q 2 l + 1

,

sequences of best

L^{p}

-approximation in

m a t h b f S_{m}^{l} (D e l t a_{n})

converge uniformly to

f

on any compact subinterval of

(a, b)

;

sequences of best

L^{p}

-approximation in

m a t h b f S_{m}^{0} (D e l t a_{n})

converge uniformly to

f

on the whole interval

[a, b]

.
