On a rational Jackson singular integral and approximations of Markov functions
EDN: RBMQLB
Abstract
The rational Jackson singular integral is introduced, which is a linear combination of Fourier-Chebyshev rational integral operators with a corresponding triangular matrix of coefficients and a fixed number of geometrically different poles. Its integral representation is established. Rational approximations of Markov functions on the segment $[-1,1]$ are investigated by the introduced method. An integral representation of approximations and an upper bound of uniform approximations are established. Approximations of Markov functions with an absolutely continuous measure whose derivative is asymptotically equal to a function with a power singularity are studied. In this case, top-down estimates of pointwise and uniform approximations and an asymptotic expression of the majorant of uniform approximations are found. Optimal values of the parameters of rational Jackson singular integrals are established, at which the best uniform approximations of Markov functions are provided by this method. For this purpose, the corresponding extreme problem is solved. It is shown that with a special choice of parameters, uniform rational approximations have a higher rate of decrease in comparison with the corresponding polynomial analogues. As a corollary, approximations of some elementary functions represented by Markov functions on the segment $[-1,1]$ are considered.
