Lebesguekonstanten bei der numerischen Differentiation periodischer Funktionen. (Lebesgue's constants for the numerical differentiation of periodic functions) (Q1080104)

Let \(L_ nf\in \tilde P_ n\), \(n\in {\mathbb{N}}\), denote the trigonometric polynomial interpolating a given function \(f\in C^ 1_{2\pi}\) at the equidistant points \(x_ j=2\pi j/(2n+1)\), \(j\in {\mathbb{Z}}\). Then, with respect to the Chebyshev norm on \(C_{2\pi}\), the estimate \(\| f'- (L_ nf)'\| \leq (1+\lambda_{n,1})\tilde E_ n(f')\) holds, where the Lebesgue constant \(\lambda_{n,1}\) is the maximum of a generalized Lebesgue function \(\Lambda_{n,1}\). It turns out that \(\Lambda_{n,1}\) attains its maximum value \[ \lambda_{n,1}=\frac{1}{2n+1}(1+2\sum^{n}_{m=1}\frac{x_ m}{\sin x_ m}) \] exactly at the interpolation points \(x_ j\), \(j\in {\mathbb{Z}}\). The Lebesgue constants satisfy \(\lambda_{n,1}=\log n+\delta_ n,\) where \(\delta_ n\) decreases monotonically to \(C+\log 8/\pi =1.5119... \). This improves results by \textit{R. Haverkamp} [Math. Z. 179, 59-67 (1982; Zbl 0458.42004)].
