Abstract
The paper contains results on best approximation by logarithmically concave classes of functions. For example, we prove the following: Let \(\mathcal{P}_{c}\) denote the class of real polynomials, having − 1 and 1 as consecutive zeros, and whose zeros z k = x k +i y k , i 2 = −1, satisfy the inequality | y k | ≤ | x k | − 1. Let i(x) = 1, x ∈ [−1, 1] be the unit function on the interval [−1, 1] and 1 ≤ p < ∞. Then, there exists a unique constant c p such that
The exact values of the best approximation are found in the particular cases p = 1 and p = 2.
