Particular values
Uses
This constant is used in solutions of several extremal problems, for example
- Favard's constant is the sharp constant in Jackson's inequality for trigonometric polynomials
- the sharp constants in the Landau–Kolmogorov inequality are expressed via Favard's constants
- Norms of periodic perfect splines.
