CONVERSE MARCINKIEWICZ-ZYGMUND INEQUALITIES ON THE REAL LINE WITH APPLICATION TO MEAN CONVERGENCE OF LAGRANGE INTERPOLATION (Q4532386)

Let \(\chi _n : = \{\xi _{1,n} ,\xi _{2,n}\), \dots, \(\xi_{n,n} \}\) be a triangular array of points on the real line \(R\). In this paper converse weighted Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities are proved. Such inequalities have the form \[ \int_R {|P(x)}|^pw(x) dx \leq C\sum_{j = 0}^n \lambda _{j,n} |P(x_{j, n}) V(x_{j,n})|^p,\quad P \in P_{n - 1} ,\;p > 0 \] with \(P_{n - 1} \) the class of polynomials of degree at most \(n-1\), \(n\geq 1\), \(C\) a positive constant independent of \(P\) and \(n, w\) and \(V\) suitable positive weights and \(\lambda _{j,n} \) the Cotes numbers with respect to \(w\) and the array \(\chi _n \). On the base of these inequalities some new results on boundedness and mean convergence of Lagrange interpolation are obtained.
