\(L_ p\) Markov-Bernstein inequalities for Erdős weights (Q1177061)

Let \(W:=e^{-Q}\) be a sufficiently smooth Erdős weight [see \textit{P. Erdős}, Proc. Conf. Constr. Theory Functions (Approximation Theory) 1969, 145-150 (1972; Zbl 0234.33014)], and for \(n>0\), let \(a_ n\) be the root of the equation \(n=2\pi^{-1}\int_ 0^ 1 a_ n tQ'(a_ nt)(1- t^ 2)^{-1/2}dt\). For all polynomials \(P\) of degree at most \(n\) and \(p\in(0,\infty)\), the inequalities \(\| P'W\|_{L_ p(R)}\leq\text{Const }Q'(a_ n)\| PW\|_{L_ p(R)}\) and \[ \|(P'W)(x)|1-({x\over a_ n})^ 2 |^{1/2} \|_{L_ p(R)}\leq\text{const}{n\over a_ n}\| PW\|_{L_ p(R)} \] are established. In addition, more general inequalities with \(L_ p\) norms replaced by integrals of convex functions are proved. With the help of the obtained results the approximation theory for Erdős weights can be developed.
