Extension of the Best Polynomial Operator in Generalized Orlicz spaces

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the best multivalued polynomial approximation operator for functions in an Orlicz Space $L^{\varphi}(\Omega)$. We obtain its characterization involving $\psi^-$ and $\psi^+$, which are the left and right derivatives functions of $\varphi$. And then, we extend the operator to $L^{\psi^+}(\Omega)$. We also get pointwise convergence of this extension, where the Calder\'on-Zygmund class $t_m^p (x)$ adapted to $L^{\psi^+}(\Omega)$ plays an important role.
