Abstract
Let υ be a weight on (−1, 1), i.e., a measurable integrable nonnegative function nonzero almost everywhere on (−1, 1). Denote by Lυ(−1, 1) the space of real-valued functions f integrable with weight υ on (−1, 1) with the norm \(f = \int\limits_{ - 1}^1 {f(x)v(x)dx.} \). We consider the problems of the best one-sided approximation (from below and from above) in the space Lυ(−1, 1) to the characteristic function of an interval (a, b), −1 < a < b < 1, by the set of algebraic polynomials of degree not exceeding a given number. We solve the problems in the case where a and b are nodes of a positive quadrature formula under some conditions on the degree of its precision as well as in the case of a symmetric interval (−h, h), 0 < h < 1, for an even weight υ.
