The purpose of this paper is to construct an integral rational Fourier operator based on the system of Chebyshev – Markov rational functions and to study its approximation properties on classes of Markov functions. In the introduction the main results of well-known works on approximations of Markov functions are present. Rational approximation of such functions is a well-known classical problem. It was studied by A. A. Gonchar, T. Ganelius, J.-E. Andersson, A. A. Pekarskii, G. Stahl and other authors. In the main part an integral operator of the Fourier – Chebyshev type with respect to the rational Chebyshev – Markov functions, which is a rational function of order no higher than n is introduced, and approximation of Markov functions is studied. If the measure satisfies the following conditions: suppμ = [1, a], a > 1, dμ(t) = ϕ(t)dt and ϕ(t) ἆ (t − 1)α on [1, a] the estimates of pointwise and uniform approximation and the asymptotic expression of the majorant of uniform approximation are established. In the case of a fixed number of geometrically distinct poles in the extended complex plane, values of optimal parameters that provide the highest rate of decreasing of this majorant are found, as well as asymptotically accurate estimates of the best uniform approximation by this method in the case of an even number of geometrically distinct poles of the approximating function. In the final part we present asymptotic estimates of approximation of some elementary functions, which can be presented by Markov functions.
