Let f be a function dened and continuous on a closed interval Δ=[a, b] of the real line R, and let ρ n (f ) be the minimal deviation of f on Δ from rational functions of degree n, ρ n (f ) = inf {rn} f r n Δ , where ‖·‖ Δ is the uniform norm and the inmum is taken in the class of all rational functions of the form r n (x)= a 0 x n + a 1 x n1 + ··· + a n b 0 x n + b 1 x n1 + ··· + b n . As usual, let e n (f ) be the minimal deviation of f on Δ from polynomials of degree n. Obviously, ρ n (f ) e n (f ) for each n =0, 1, 2,... . Gonchar [1], [2] proved that the function class R(Δ) = f C (Δ) : lim n→∞ n ρ n (f ) < 1 possesses one of the most important properties of the class of analytic functions. Namely, if lim n→∞ n ρ n (f ) < 1 and f (x)=0 on a set E Δ of positive logarithmic capacity, then f (x) 0, x Δ. By analogy with the class B(Δ) = f C (Δ): lim n→∞ n e n (f ) < 1 of Bernstein quasi-analytic functions (see [3]), the class R(Δ) will be called the class of Gonchar quasi-analytic functions. It is well known that the analytic functions on Δ are characterized by the condition lim n→∞ n e n (f ) < 1 (Bernstein’s theorem). It follows that the class A(Δ) of analytic functions on Δ is a subclass of the classes B(Δ) R(Δ); i.e., A(Δ) B(Δ) R(Δ). Clearly, A(Δ) = B(Δ).
