Approximation Theory

We study in Part I of this monograph the computational aspect of almost all moduli of continuity over wide classes of functions exploiting some of their convexity properties. To our knowledge it is the first time the entire calculus of moduli of smoothness has been included in a book. We then present numerous applications of Approximation Theory, giving exact val­ ues of errors in explicit forms. The K-functional method is systematically avoided since it produces nonexplicit constants. All other
