A theorem in the theory of approximation of functions which yields an estimate from above for the best approximation of a function by algebraic polynomials (for a periodic function, by trigonometric polynomials). Jackson's theorem makes it possible to study the properties of best approximations in dependence on the differentiability properties of the function. Cf. Jackson inequality.
