We consider the problem of the best polynomial approximation of 2 -periodic functions in the space L2 in the case where the error of approximation En1 .f / is estimated via the k th-order modulus of continuityk.f / in which the Steklov operator Shf is used instead of the operator of transla- tion Thf.x/D f.xCh/: For the classes of functions defined by using the indicated characteristic of smoothness, we determine the exact values of various n-widths. 1. In the solution of some problems of the approximation theory of functions of real variable, it is cus- tomary to use various modifications of the classic definition of the modulus of continuity (see, e.g., (1-11)). In numerous cases, this is explained by the specific conditions of the analyzed problems and enables one to get the results illustrating the profound nature of these problems. Thus, for the approximation of nonperiodic functions by algebraic polynomials, Potapov and his colleagues proposed various modifications of the classic definition of the modulus of continuity based on the use of different averaging operators instead of the operator of translation T h f.x/Df.xCh/ (see, e.g., (3, 4)). In the case of approximation of 2 -periodic functions, Abilov and Abilova used the Steklov function S h .f / instead of the operator of translation Thf (5). A similar approach was applied by Kokilashvili and Yildirir in (8) and by the authors in (10). In the present paper, we continue our investigations in this direction. Let L2 L2.a0;2c/ be the space of 2 -periodic Lebesgue measurable functions with the norm
