Abstract
One considers the generalized shift operator, defined on the space of functions, summable on [−1, 1] with the weight (1−x)∝(1+x)β(∞⩾β⩾−1/2), and the corresponding generalized convolution operator. One introduces some differential operators and one considers the corresponding classes of functions, which can be represented in the form of a generalized convolution. For these classes one obtains a series of extremal relations of the theory of approximation of functions by algebraic polynomials. An essential role is played by some duality relations for the classes of generalized convolutions.
