Extremal problems in de Branges spaces: the case of truncated and odd functions (Q2349883)

In the paper under review the authors find extremal one-sided approximations of exponential type for a class of truncated and odd functions with a certain exponential subordination. These approximations optimize the \(L^1(\mathbb R. |E(x)|^{-2}\, dx)\)-error, where \(E\) is an arbitrary Hermite-Biehler entire function of bounded type in the upper half-plane. The authors also provide periodic analogues of these results, finding optimal one-sided approximations by trigonometric polynomials of a given degree to a class of periodic functions with exponential subordination. The techniques of the paper are based on the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (of entire functions and of polynomials) and on construction of suitable interpolations with nodes at the zeros of Laguerre-Pólya functions.
