Approximations in spaces of locally integrable functions

Abstract

We study approximations of functions from the sets$\hat L_\beta ^\psi \mathfrak{N}$, which are determined by convolutions of the following form:

$$f\left( x \right) = A_0 + \int\limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {\varphi \left( {x + t} \right)\hat \psi _\beta \left( t \right)dt, \varphi \in \mathfrak{N}, \hat \psi _\beta \in L\left( { - \infty ,\infty } \right),} $$

where η is a fixed subset of functions with locally integrablepth powers (p≥1). As approximating aggregates, we use the so-called Fourier operators, which are entire functions of exponential type ≤ σ. These functions turn into trigonometric polynomials if the function ϕ(·) is periodic (in particular, they may be the Fourier sums of the function approximated). The approximations are studied in the spacesL _p determined by local integral norms ∥·∥_-p . Analogs of the Lebesgue and Favard inequalities, wellknown in the periodic case, are obtained and used for finding estimates of the corresponding best approximations which are exact in order. On the basis of these inequalities, we also establish estimates of approximations by Fourier operators, which are exact in order and, in some important cases, exact with respect to the constants of the principal terms of these estimates.
