A lower bound for the norm of the minimal residual polynomial (Q658986): Difference between revisions

The paper deals with some interesting properties of the minimal residual polynomial of degree at most \(n\) on \(S\), where \(S\) is a compact infinite set in the complex plane which does not contain the origin. First, some essential properties of the minimal residual polynomial on a real set are provided (Corollary 1, Lemma 2, Corollary 2). The main result of the paper is contained in Theorem 2, where the author gives a refinement for the inequality verified by the norm \(L_n(S)\) of the minimal residual polynomial in the case that \(S\) is a union of a finite number of real intervals. As a consequence, he obtains a slight refinement of the Bernstein-Walsh lemma (Corollary 3).
