Abstract

We say that a function fC[a,b]f\in C[a,b] is qq-monotone, q3q\ge3, if fCq2(a,b)f\in C^{q-2}(a,b) and f(q2)f^{(q-2)} is convex in (a,b)(a,b). Let ff be continuous and 2π2\pi-periodic, and change its qq-monotonicity finitely many times in [π,π][-\pi,\pi]. We are interested in estimating the degree of approximation of ff by trigonometric polynomials which are co-qq-monotone with it, namely, trigonometric polynomials that change their qq-monotonicity exactly at the points where ff does. Such Jackson type estimates are valid for piecewise monotone (q=1q=1) and piecewise convex (q=2) approximations. However, we prove, that no such estimates are valid, in general, for co-qq-monotone approximation, when q3q\ge3.
