Multilevel Decompositions of Functional Spaces.
We give a state-of-the-art survey of investigations concerning multivariate polynomial inequalities. A satisfactory theory of such inequalities has been developed due to applications of both the Gabrielov-Hironaka-Łojasiewicz subanalytic geometry and pluripotential methods based on the complex Monge-Ampère operator. Such an approach permits one to study various inequalities for polynomials restricted not only to nice (nonpluripolar) compact subsets of ℝⁿ or ℂⁿ but also their versions for pieces...
* Part of this work was done while the second author was on a visit at Tel Aviv University in March 2001Let f ∈ C[−1, 1] change its convexity finitely many times, in the interval. We are interested in estimating the degree of approximation of f by polynomials, and by piecewise polynomials, which are nearly coconvex with it, namely, polynomials and piecewise polynomials that preserve the convexity of f except perhaps in some small neighborhoods of the points where f changes its convexity. We obtain...

We show that for any 1/2 ≤ a < 1, there is an N(a) ∈ N such that for n ≥ N(a), 1−a≤k, n≤a, sup | Bn (f, k/n) − f(k/n) | ≤ cω2(f, 1/√n), where c is a constant,0 < c < 1.
Let be the space of all trigonometric polynomials of degree not greater than with complex coefficients. Arestov extended the result of Bernstein and others and proved that for and . We derive the multivariate version of the result of Golitschek and Lorentz for all trigonometric polynomials (with complex coeffcients) in variables of degree at most .
It is shown that Jackson type inequality fails in the Orlicz classes φ(L) if φ(x) differs essentially from a power function of any order.
In recent papers the authors studied global smoothness preservation by certain univariate and multivariate linear operators over compact domains. Here the domain is ℝ. A very general positive linear integral type operator is introduced through a convolution-like iteration of another general positive linear operator with a scaling type function. For it sufficient conditions are given for shift invariance, preservation of global smoothness, convergence to the unit with rates, shape preserving and...
We continue studying the estimation of Bernstein-Walsh type for algebraic polynomials in regions with piecewise smooth boundary.
