Asymptotics of polynomial interpolation and the Bernstein constants (Q2038852)

The author studies new asymptotic bounds for the quantities of the classical Lagrange interpolation error for $|x|a$, $a > 0$ when a tends to infinity. Moreover, he gives some explicit constructions for near best approximation polynomials to $|x|a$, $a > 0$ in the $L_\infty$ norm which are based on the Chebyshev interpolation process. Some numerical examples are given.
