A model space approach to some classical inequalities for rational functions (Q489049)

Let \(R_n\) denotes the class of rational functions of degree at most \(n\geq1\) with no poles on the unit circle \(T\) and its subclass \(R_{n,r}\) consisting of rational functions without poles in the annulus \(\{\xi:r<|\xi|<1/r\}\). In this work, the authors discuss an approach based on model space theory which gives some integral representations for the functions in \(R_n\) and their derivatives. Using this approach, the authors obtain \(L_p\)-analogs of several classical inequalities for rational functions, including the inequalities by P. Borwein and T. Erdélyi, the Spijker Lemma and the inequalities of S. M. Nikolskii. The authors show the asymptotically sharpness of these inequalities.
