Abstract

Theorem 1 gives an estimate for the approximation of a continuous functionf by polynomials resulting from the convolution off with non-negative algebraic polynomialsp n . Jackson's theorem can be deduced from it by choosing a particularp n whose second Chebyshev-Fourier coefficient is sufficiently close to −1.
