Abstract

A recent result of the first two authors has bridged the gap between the Timantype pointwise estimate and the norm estimate for polynomial approximation in C[– 1, 1]. Here we show that, when considering the second order modulus of smoothness, the aforementioned result holds with polynomials that preserve monotonicity, convexity and the values of the function at the end points of the interval [–1, 1]. This yields a generalization of results by Telyakovskii, Gopengauz, DeVore, Yu and the third author. Moreover, the construction here does not depend on the construction for the non-constrained approximation by polynomials.
