Abstract: We introduce appropriate computable moduli of smoothness to characterize the rate of best approximation by multivariate polynomials on a connected and compact $C^2$-domain $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^d$. This new modulus of smoothness is defined via finite differences along the directions of coordinate axes, and along a number of tangential directions from the boundary. With this modulus, we prove both the direct Jackson inequality and the corresponding inverse for the best polynomial approximation in $L_p(Omega)$. The Jackson inequality is established for the full range of $0<pleqinfty$, while its proof relies on a recently established Whitney type estimates with constants depending only on certain parameters; and on a highly localized polynomial partitions of unity on a $C^2$-domain which is of independent interest. The inverse inequality is established for $1leqpleqinfty$, and its proof relies on a recently proved Bernstein type inequality associated with the tangential derivatives on the boundary of $Omega$. Such an inequality also allows us to establish the inverse theorem for Ivanov's average moduli of smoothness on general compact $C^2$-domains.
