Abstract

Let f = (f 1,…, f m ), where f j belongs to the Orlicz space Lφ[0, 1], and let w = (w 1,…, w m ) be an m-tuple of m positive weights. If ⊂ Lφ[0, 1] is the class of nondecreasing functions, we denote by ℳφ, w (f, ) the set of best simultaneous monotone approximants to f, that is, all the elements g ∈ minimizing , where φ is a convex function, φ(t) > 0 for t > 0, and φ(0) = 0. In this work, we show an explicit formula to calculate the maximum and minimum elements in ℳφ, w (f, ). In addition, we study the continuity of the best simultaneous monotone approximants.
