Let $f{\in}C^r$ ([-1,1]), $r{\geq}0$ and let $L^*$ be a linear left fractional differential operator such that $L^*$ $(f){\geq}0$ throughout [0, 1]. We can find a sequence of polynomials $Q_n$ of degree ${\leq}n$ such that $L^*$ $(Q_n){\geq}0$ over [0, 1], furthermore f is approximated left fractionally and simulta-neously by $Q_n$ on [-1, 1]. The degree of these restricted approximations is given via inequalities using a higher order modulus of smoothness for $f^{(r)}$.
