In this article, we consider the best polynomial approximation operator defined on an Orlicz-Lorentz space Λ 𝑤,𝜙 generated by an Orlicz function 𝜙 and a nonnegative continuous weight function 𝑤. Then we extend the best polynomial approximation operator from Λ 𝑤,𝜙 to Λ 𝑤,𝜙 ′ , where 𝜙 ′ is the derivative function of 𝜙. In addition, we establish some properties of the extended best polynomial approximation operator.
