We prove a multivariate Whitney type theorem for the local anisotropic polynomial approximation in Lp(Q) with 1≤ p≤ ∞. Here Q is a d-parallelepiped in \RRd with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. We consider the error of best approximation of a function f by algebraic polynomials of fixed degree at most ri - 1 in variable xi, i=1,...,d, and relate it to a so-called total mixed modulus of smoothness appropriate to characterizing the convergence rate of the approximation error. This theorem is derived from a Johnen type theorem on equivalence between a certain K-functional and the total mixed modulus of smoothness which is proved in the present paper.
