Abstract

Let f be an element of C [o, 1] and {g 1 ,..., g n } a Markoff system in C [o, 1]. We consider the last set as a subspace of L [o, 1]. Due to a known theorem of D. Jackson there exists for every f in C[o, 1] a unique best L 1 -approximation in the sub-space sp{g 1 ,..., g n } spanned by {g 1 ,..., g n } in L 1 [o,1]. 1967, K. H. USOW [4] established an algorithm for the computation of such best approximations. However, Usow succeeded to prove the convergence of his algorithm only for conditions on f and on {g 1 ,..., g n } which are fairly restrictiv and difficult to verify.
