Abstract:

In contrast to the behavior of best uniform polynomial approximants on $[0,1]$ we show that if $f \in C[0,1]$ there exists a sequence of polynomials $\{ {P_n}\}$ of respective degree $\leq n$ which converges uniformly to $f$ on $[0,1]$ and geometrically fast at each point of $[0,1]$ where $f$ is analytic. Moreover we describe the best possible rates of convergence at all regular points for such a sequence.
