Asymptotic expansion of the uniform norm of the derivative operator associated with the Lagrange trigonometric interpolation operator (Q1209781)

Let \(L_ n\) be the Lagrange trigonometric interpolation operator which is defined by \[ L_ n(f,\theta)=\sum^{2n}_{k=0}f(\theta_ k)l_ k(\theta),\quad f\in C_{2\pi}, \] where \(l_ k(\theta)\) denote Lagrange fundamental polynomials and \(\theta_ j={2j\pi\over 2n+1}\), \(j=0,1,\dots,2n\). The derivative operator of \(L_ n\) is defined by \[ L_ n'(f,\theta)=\sum^{2n}_{k=0}f(\theta_ k)l_ k'(\theta),\quad f\in C_{2\pi}, \] and the (uniform) norm of \(L_ n'\) is denoted by \(\lambda_{n,1}\). \textit{W. Forst} and \textit{A. Hohl} [J. Approximation Theory 47, 75-84 (1986; Zbl 0599.42004)] have proved that \(\lambda_{n,1}=\log n+\delta_{n,1}\), where \(\delta_{n,1}\) decreases monotonically to \(\gamma+\log{8\over\pi}\) as \(n\to\infty\) and \(\gamma\) is the Euler constant. The author of the present paper finds the asymptotic expansion of \(\lambda_{n,1}\) expressed by certain sums associated with Bernoulli numbers.
