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...

We investigate the problem of deriving adaptive posterior rates contraction on L∞ balls in density estimation. Although it is known that log-density priors can achieve optimal when true sufficiently smooth, were still to be proven. Here we establish so-called spike-and-slab prior and rates. Along way, prove a generic result for with independent wavelet coefficients. Interestingly, our approach ...

We investigate interpolatory multiscale transformations for functions between manifolds which are based on interpolatory subdivision rules. We characterize the HölderZygmund smoothness of a function between manifolds in terms of the coe cient decay w.r.t. this multiscale transform.

Via a random construction we establish necessary conditions for L(l) inequalities for certain families of operators arising in harmonic analysis. In particular we consider dilates of a convolution kernel with compactly supported Fourier transform, vector maximal functions acting on classes of entire functions of exponential type, and a characterization of Sobolev spaces by square functions and ...

and Applied Analysis 3 Since 1967, Durrmeyer introduced Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators, and there are many paperswhich studied theirproperties 1–7 . In 1991, Zhang studied the characterization of convergence forMn,1 f ;x with Jacobi weights. In 1992, Zhou 5 considered multivariate Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators Mn,d f ;x and obtained a characterization of convergence. In 2002, Xuan et al. studied...
