APPROXIMATION OF CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS BY GENERALIZED KARAMATA MEANS

A sufficient condition for the order of approximation of a continuous 2π periodic function with a givenmajorant for the modulus of continuity by the [F, d_n] means of its Fourier serier to be of Jackson order isobtained. This sufficient condition is shown to be not enough for the order of approximation by partial sums oftheir Fourier series to be of Jackson order. The error estimate is shown to be the best possible.
