` Negative theorem of nearly monotone approximation in Lp , o p 1 Sukeina Abdulla Al-Bermani Babylon University Science College For Women Computer Science Department Abstract In [2] our direct theorem we see that , when we approximate an increasing function f in LU > 1,1@ , we wish sometimes that the approximating polynomials be increasing also. However, this constraint, restricts very much the degree of approximation, that the polynomials can achieve, namely ; only the rate of ZM2 . In[3] Kopotun, Leviatan and Prymak proved that relaxing the monotonicity requirement in intervals of measure zero near the end points allows the polynomials to achieve the rate of ZM3 . On the other hand we show in this paper , that even when we relax the requirement of monotinicity of the polynomials on sets of measure approach zero, ZM4 is not reachable . ﺍﻟﻣﺳﺗﺧﻠﺹ 0 p 1 ﻋﻧ�ﺩﻣﺎL p [ ﺍﻟﻧﻅﺭﻳ�ﺔ ﺍﻟﻣﺑﺎﺷ�ﺭﺓ ﻓ�ﻲ ﺍﻟﺗﻘﺭﻳ�ﺏ ﺍﻟﺭﺗﻳ�ﺏ ﻟﻠ�ﺩﻭﺍﻝ ﺍﻟﻘﻳﺎﺳ�ﻳﺔ ﻓ�ﻲ ﺍﻟﻔﺿ�ﺎء1] ﺑﻭﺍﺳﻁﺔ ﻣﺗﻌﺩﺩﺓ ﺣ�ﺩﻭﺩ ﺃﻳﺿ�ﺎf ﺗﺑﻳﻥ ﺍﻧﻪ ﻣﻥ ﺍﻟﻣﻣﻛﻥ ﺃﻥ ﻧﻘﺭﺏ ﺃﻟﺩﺍﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻣﺗﺯﺍﻳﺩﺓ، ZM2 ﺑﺩﻻﻟﺔ ﻣﻘﻳﺎﺱ ﺍﻟﻧﻌﻭﻣﺔ ﺇﻥ ﻗﻳﺩ ﺍﻟﺭﺗﺎﺑﺔ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻧﺗﻳﺟﺔ ﺃﻋﻼﻩ ﺳﻳﺣﺩﺩ ﺩﺭﺟﺔ ﺍﻟﺗﻘﺭﻳﺏ ﺍﻷﻓﺿﻝ ﺑﻭﺍﺳﻁﺔ ﺍﻟﻣﺗﻌﺩﺩﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺟﺑﺭﻳﺔ ﺑﺩﻻﻟﺔ.ﻣﺗﺯﺍﻳﺩﺓ ﻟ�ﺫﻟﻙ، Z M3 ﺑﺎﻟﻣﻘﻳﺎﺱf ﻟﻠﺩﺍﻟﺔZ M2 ﻭﻟﺗﺄﻛﻳﺩ ﺫﻟﻙ ﺑﺭﻫﻧﺎ ﺍﻧﻪ ﻻ ﻳﻣﻛﻥ ﺍﺳﺗﺑﺩﺍﻝ ﺍﻟﻣﻘﻳﺎﺱ، ﻓﻘﻁZM2 ﺍﻟﻣﻘﻳﺎﺱ .ﻗﺩﻣﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻧﻅﺭﻳﺔ ﺍﻟﻧﻘﻳﺿﺔ ﻟﻠﻧﻅﺭﻳﺔ ﺍﻟﻣﺑﺎﺷﺭﺓ ﺑﺭﻫﻥ ﺍﻧﻪ ﻋﻧﺩﻣﺎ ﻳﺟﻌﻝ ﻣﺗﻌﺩﺩﺓ ﺍﻟﺣﺩﻭﺩ ﺍﻟﺟﺑﺭﻳﺔ ﺍﻟﺗﻘﺭﻳﺑﻳﺔ ﺗﻛ�ﻭﻥK.A.
