On error bounds for Gauss-Legendre and Lobatto quadrature rules.
K. Nikodem and the present author proved in [3] a theorem concerning separation by affine functions. Our purpose is to generalize that result for polynomials. As a consequence we obtain two theorems on separation of an n-convex function from an n-concave function by a polynomial of degree at most n and a stability result of Hyers-Ulam type for polynomials.
Sufficient and necessary conditions are presented under which two given functions can be separated by a function Π-affine in Rodé sense (resp. Π-convex, Π-concave). As special cases several old and new separation theorems are obtained.
