Abstract

We present a new method that allows us to get a direct proof of the classical Bernstein asymptotics for the error of the best uniform polynomial approximation of |χ|p on two symmetric intervals. Note that, in addition, we get asymptotics for the polynomials themselves under a certain renormalization. Also, we solve a problem on asymptotics of the best approximation of sgn(x) on [-1,-a]∪[a,1] by Laurent polynomials.
