Uniform polynomial approximation of entire functions on arbitrary compact sets in the complex plane (Q1916632)

The author considers the connection between the rate of growth of an entire function and the rate of the best polynomial approximation to this function. Let \(K\) be a compact subset on the complex plane. If \(u_1, \dots, u_n \in K\), \(n \in \mathbb{N}\), then set \[ V(u_1, \dots, u_n) = \prod_{1 \leq k < l \leq n} (u_k - u_l), \quad V_n = \max_{u_1, \dots, u_n \in K} \bigl |V(u_1, \dots, u_n) \bigr |. \] If \(f\) is a continuous function on \(K\), then \(E_n (f,K)\) denotes the best uniform approximation of \(f\) on \(K\) by polynomials of degree at most \(n\). For an arbitrary infinite compact set \(K \subset \mathbb{C}\) the explicit formulas of the order and the type of an entire function \(f\) in terms of asymptotic behavior of the sequence \(E_n (f,K) V_{n + 1} (V_{n + 2})^{-1}\), \(n \in \mathbb{N}\), are obtained.
