Strong asymptotics in Lagrange interpolation with equidistant nodes (Q1395807)

We prove three conjectures of Revers on Lagrange interpolation for \(f_\lambda (t) = |t|^{\lambda }\), \(\lambda > 0\), at equidistant nodes. In particular we describe the rate of divergence of the Lagrange interpolants \(L_{N} (f_\lambda,t)\) for \(0 < |t|< 1\), and discuss their convergence at \(t = 0\). We also establish an asymptotic relation for \(\max_{|t|\leq 1}\left||t|^\lambda-L_N(f_\lambda,t) \right|\). The proofs are based on strong asymptotics for \(|t|^\lambda - L_{N} (f_\lambda,t)\), \(0 \leq |t|< 1\).
