Abstract
We obtain the best approximation in L 1(ℝ), by entire functions of exponential type, for a class of even functions that includes e −λ|x|, where λ>0, log |x| and |x|α, where −1<α<1. We also give periodic versions of these results where the approximating functions are trigonometric polynomials of bounded degree.
