The direct and inverse theorems are established for the best approximation in the weighted L space on the unit sphere of R, in which the weight functions are invariant under finite reflection groups. The theorems are stated using a modulus of smoothness of higher order, which is proved to be equivalent to a K-functional defined using the power of the spherical h-Laplacian. Furthermore, similar ...

This brief provides findings on the observed effect of initial pavement smoothness (also known as initial roughness, or as-constructed roughness) on the long-term pavement roughness progression of asphalt overlays. The relationship can be used as a measure for estimating the long-term effect of pavement smoothness and for consideration when developing smoothness specifications and/or payment ad...

We present a characterization of the approximation errors of the PostWidder and the Gamma operators in Lp(0,∞), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, with a weight x0(1 + x)γ∞−γ0 with arbitrary real γ0, γ∞. Two types of characteristics are used – weighted K-functionals of the approximated function itself and the classical fixed step moduli of smoothness taken on simple modifications of it. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi...

In this work we investigate the approximation problems in the Smirnov-Orlicz spaces in terms of the fractional modulus of smoothness. We prove the direct and inverse theorems in these spaces and obtain a constructive descriptions of the Lipschitz classes of functions defined by the fractional order modulus of smoothness, in particular. 1. Preliminaries and introduction A function M (u) : R → R ...

For rather general moduli of smoothness ρ, like ρ(h)=h ln(c/h), we consider the Hölder spaces Hρ(B) of functions [0, 1] → B where B is a separable Banach space. We establish an isomorphism between Hρ(B) and some sequence Banach space. With this analytical tool, we follow a very natural way to study, in terms of second differences, the existence of a version in Hρ(B) for a given random field. 20...

in hilbert space l2(rn), we prove the equivalence between the mod-ulus of smoothness and the k-functionals constructed by the sobolev space cor-responding to the fourier transform. for this purpose, using a spherical meanoperator.

We discuss various properties of the new modulus of smoothness ω k,r (f, t)p := sup 0<h6t ‖W kh(·)∆khφ(·)(f , ·)‖Lp [−1,1], where φ(x) := √ 1− x2 and Wδ(x) = ( (1−x−δφ(x)/2)(1+x−δφ(x)/2) )1/2 . Related moduli with more general weights are also considered.
