Higher-order Hermite-Fejér interpolation for Stieltjes polynomials (Q1789988)

Summary: Let \(w_\lambda(x):=(1-x^2)^{\lambda-1/2}\) and \(P_{\lambda,n}\) be the ultraspherical polynomials with respect to \(w_{\lambda}(x)\). Then, we denote the Stieltjes polynomials \(E_{\lambda,n+1}\) with respect to \(w_{\lambda}(x)\) satisfying \(\int_{-1}^1w_{\lambda}(x) P_{\lambda,n}(x)E_{\lambda,n+1}(x) x^m dx (=0, 0\leq m< n+1;\neq 0,m=n+1)\). In this paper, we consider the higher-order Hermite-Fejér interpolation operator \(H_{n+1,m}\) based on the zeros of \(E_{\lambda,n+1}\) and the higher order extended Hermite-Fejér interpolation operator \(\mathscr{H}_{2n+1,m}\) based on the zeros of \(E_{\lambda,n+1}P_{\lambda,n}\). When \(m\) is even, we show that Lebesgue constants of these interpolation operators are \(O(n^{\max\{(1-\lambda)m-2,0\}})(0<\lambda<1)\) and \(O(n^{\max\{(1-2\lambda)m-2,0\}})(0<\lambda<1/2)\), respectively; that is, \(\| \mathscr{H}_{2n+1,m} \|=O(n^{\max\{(1-2\lambda)m-2,0\}})(0<\lambda<1)\) and \(\| H_{n+1,m} \|=O(n^{\max\{(1-\lambda)m-2,0\}})(0<\lambda<1/2)\). In the case of the Hermite-Fejér interpolation polynomials \(\mathscr{H}_{2n+1,m}[\cdot]\) for \(1/2\leq\lambda<1\), we can prove the weighted uniform convergence. In addition, when \(m\) is odd, we will show that these interpolations diverge for a certain continuous function on \([-1,1]\), proving that Lebesgue constants of these interpolation operators are similar or greater than \(\log n\).
