The third and fourth kinds of Chebyshev polynomials and best uniform approximation. (English) Zbl 1255.41015
Summary: Using the properties of third and fourth kinds of Chebyshev polynomials, we explicitly determine the best uniform polynomial approximation out of $$P_{n}$$ to classes of functions that are obtained from their generating function and their derivatives. Efficiency of these polynomials is demonstrated by some examples.
