Let ''f'' be a 2''π''-periodic function. Then ''f'' is ''α''-[[Hölder condition|Hölder]] for some 0&nbsp;<&nbsp;''α''&nbsp;<&nbsp;1 if and only if for every natural ''n'' there exists a [[trigonometric polynomial]] ''P<sub>n</sub>'' of degree ''n'' such that
: <math> \max_{0 \leq x \leq 2\pi} | f(x) - P_n(x) | \leq \frac{C(f)}{n^\alpha}~, </math>
where ''C''(''f'') is a positive number depending on ''f''. The "only if" is due to [[Dunham Jackson]], see [[Jackson's inequality]]; the "if" part is due to [[Sergei Bernstein]], see [[Bernstein's theorem (approximation theory)]].
