On a convergent Pál-type \((0,2)\) interpolation process (Q1804739): Difference between revisions

Modifying the notion of the well known Hermite-Fejér interpolation, L. G. Pál introduced in 1979 the polynomials \(H_ n (x)\), the polynomials of degree at most \(2n - 1\). It is known that these polynomials are never uniquely determined and in order to make them unique, one has to impose an additional condition. In 1991, M. R. Akhlaghi generalized this problem for successive higher order derivatives. Now in this paper, the authors investigate other polynomials \(R_ n (x)\) which have been defined by the help of the Legendre polynomials. It is interesting that these polynomials \(R_ n (x)\) are uniquely determined and are better than previously investigated Pál-type interpolating polynomials. The authors also have given the answer in affirmative to the question of Paul Turán about the existence of a convergent \((0,2)\) interpolation process for all continuous functions in a broader sense.
