Upper estimates of Christoffel function on convex domains (Q2014143)

In this contribution the author provides new upper bounds on the pointwise behavior of the Christoffel function on convex domains in \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\), and as the author points out that one of the main motivations for this work was the question whether an ``extra'' factor of \(\log n\) could be removed in a sharpness of a recent result due to András Kroó, which the author answers affirmatively. The author considers general convex bodies (convex compact sets with non-empty interior) without any smoothness assumptions and shows that apart from the distance to the boundary one can look at certain measurements of the size of an appropriate hyperplane section of the body to obtain precise upper bounds on the Christoffel function (cf. Section 3). The main treatment behind of some proofs of the author consists in computing the Christoffel function up to a constant factor as a function of \(n\) and \(x\), rather than focusing on estimating the asymptotics of a such function (cf. Theorems 1.1 and 1.7). Also in the third section, sharpness of the results is shown and examples of applications are given.
