Estimates of the form
$$ {A_{\sigma }}{(f)_P}\leq KP\left( {\varPhi \left( \mathcal{W} \right)f} \right), $$
where W is a kernel of a special type summable on \( \mathbb{R} \), a function Φ is holomorphic in a neighborhood of the spectrum of W, and A
σ(f )
P
is the best approximation of a function f by entire functions of exponential type not greater than σ with respect to a seminorm P, are established. In some cases, for the uniform and integral norms the least possible constant K is found. The estimates are obtained by linear approximation methods. Bibliography: 13 titles.
