On the Jackson constants for algebraic approximation of continuous functions
We establish new estimates for the constant $J_a(k,α)$ in the Brudnyi-Jackson inequality for approximation of $f \in C[-1,1]$ by algebraic polynomials: $$ E_{n}^a (f) \le J_a(k, α) \ ω_k (f, απ/n ), \quad α>0 $$ The main result of the paper implies the following inequalities $$ 1/2< J_a (2k, α) < 10, \quad n \ge 2k(2k-1), \quad α\ge 2 $$
