On the fundamental polynomials for Hermite-Fejér interpolation of Lagrange type on the Chebyshev nodes (Q1297702)

For a fixed integer \(m\geq 0\) and \(1\leq K\leq n\), let \(A_{k,2m,n} (T,x)\) denote the \(k\)th fundamental polynomial for \((0,1, \dots, 2m)\) Hermite-Fejér interpolation on the Chebyshev nodes \(\{x_{j,n}= \cos[(2j-1)\pi/ (2n)]\): \(1\leq j\leq n\}\). So \(A_{k,2m,n} (T,x)\) is the unique polynomial of degree at most \((2m+1)n-1\) which satisfies \(A_{k,2m,n} (T,x_{j,n})= \delta_{k, j}\), and whose first \(2m\) derivatives vanish at each \(x_{2,n}\). In this paper it is established that \(| A_{k,2m,n} (T,x) |\leq A_{1,2m,n} (T,1)\), \(1\leq k \leq n\), \(-1\leq x\leq 1\). It is also shown that \(A_{1,2m,n}(T,1)\) is an increasing function of \(n\), and the best possible bound \(C_m\) so that \(| A_{k,2m,n} (T,x) |<c_m\) for all \(k,n\) and \(x\in [-1,1]\) is obtained.
