In this paper, among other things, we show that, given r∈ N, there is a constant c=c(r) such that if f∈ Cr[-1,1] is convex, then there is a number \mathcal N=\mathcal N(f,r), depending on f and r, such that for n≥\mathcal N, there are convex piecewise polynomials S of order r+2 with knots at the Chebyshev partition, satisfying |f(x)-S(x)|≤ c(r)( min\ 1-x2, n-1√(1-x2) \ )r ω2(f(r), n-1√(1-x2) ), for all x∈ [-1,1]. Moreover, \mathcal N cannot be made independent of f.
