Let Δ3 be the set of functions three times continuously differentiable on [−1, 1] and such that f″′(x) ≥ 0, x ∈ [−1, 1]. We prove that, for any n ∈ ℕ and r ≥ 5, there exists a function f ∈ C r [−1, 1] ⋂ Δ3 [−1, 1] such that ∥f (r)∥ C[−1, 1] ≤ 1 and, for an arbitrary algebraic polynomial P ∈ Δ3 [−1, 1], there exists x such that
where C > 0 is a constant that depends only on r, and
