<正> Let f (x) ∈ C [-1, 1], p_n* (x) be the best approximation polynomial of degree n tof (x). G. Iorentz conjectured that if for all n, p2n* (x) = p2n+1* (x), then f is even; and ifp2n+1* (x) = p2n+2* (x), p_o* (z) = 0, then f is odd. In this paper, it is proved that, under the L1-norm, the Lorentz conjecture is validconditionally, i. e. if (i) (1-x2) f (x) can be extended to an absolutely convergentTehebyshev sories; (ii) for every n, f (x) - p2n+1* (x) has exactly 2n + 2 zeros (or, in thearcond situation, f (x) - p2n+2* (x) has exaetly 2n+3 zeros), then Lorentz conjecture isvalid.
