Abstract:

For non-negative continuous function f(x) defined on [0,1], and f≠0, the present paper proves that, there is a polynomial Pn(x)∈Πn(+), such that
|f(x)1Pn(x)|Cωφλ(f,n1/2A1λn(x)),


where An(x)=\sqrt{x(1-x)}+1/\sqrt{n},\;0\leq \lambda\leq 1,and\Pi_n(+)$ indicates the set of all polynomials of degree n with positive coefficients. When f(x) has exact l sign change points in (0, 1), we also construct a rational function r(x)Rln(+) such that
|f(x)r(x)|\leqC(l+1)2ωφλ(f,n1/2A1λn(x)).

Key words: Polynomials of positive coefficients, Rational functions, Approximation rate, Global estimates, Pointwise estimates
