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
\[\left|f(x)-\frac{1}{P_n(x)}\right|\leq C\omega_{\varphi^\lambda}\big(f,n^{-1/2}A_n^{1-\lambda}(x)\big),\]
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 $r(x)\in R_n^l(+)$ such that
\[\left|f(x)-r(x)\right|\leqC(l+1)^{2}\omega_{\varphi^\lambda}\big(f,n^{-1/2}A_n^{1-\lambda}(x)\big).\]
