Our primary goal in this preamble is to highlight the best of Vasil Popov’s mathematical achievements and ideas. V. Popov showed his extraordinary talent for mathematics in his early papers in the (typically Bulgarian) area of approximation in the Hausdorff metric. His results in this area are very well presented in the monograph of his advisor Bl. Sendov, “Hausdorff Approximation”.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46B70, 41A25, 41A17, 26D10. ∗Part of the results were reported at the Conference “Pioneers of Bulgarian Mathematics”, Sofia, 2006. Certain types of weighted Peetre K-functionals are characterized by means of the classical moduli of smoothness taken on a proper linear transforms of the function. The weights with power-type asymptotic at the ends of the interval with arbitrary real exponents are considered. This paper extends the method and results...
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46B70, 41A10, 41A25, 41A27, 41A35, 41A36, 42A10. The paper presents a method of relating two K-functionals by means of a continuous linear transform of the function. In particular, a characterization of various weighted K-functionals by unweighted fixed-step moduli of smoothness is derived. This is applied in estimating the rate of convergence of several approximation processes. Partially supported by grant No. 103/2007 of the National...
