The exact value of the extremal characteristic
is obtained on the class L r2 (D ρ ), where r ∈ ℤ+; \( {D}_{\rho} = \sigma (x)\frac{d^2}{d{ x}^2}+\tau (x)\frac{d}{d x} \) , σ and τ are polynomials of at most the second and first degrees, respectively, ρ is a weight function, 0 < p ≤ 2, 0 < h < 1, λ n (ρ) are eigenvalues of the operator D ρ , φ is a nonnegative measurable and summable function (in the interval (a, b)) which is not equivalent to zero, Ω k,ρ is the generalized modulus of continuity of the k th order in the space L 2,ρ (a, b), and E n (f)2,ρ is the best polynomial approximation in the mean with weight ρ for a function f ∈ L 2,ρ (a, b). The exact values of widths for the classes of functions specified by the characteristic of smoothness Ω k,ρ and the K-functional \( \mathbb{K} \) m are also obtained.
