No label defined (Q4936664)

Let \(l\in\mathbb N\), \(n\in\mathbb Z_+\), and reals \(A_0=1\), \(A_1,\dots, A_{l-1}\) be given. The following problem is posed: Find a sequence \(a_l\), \(a_{l+1},\dots, a_{l+n}\in\mathbb R\) satisfying the condition \[ \int_{-1}^{+1}|x^{n+l} + A_1x^{n+l-1} + \dots + A_{l-1}x^{n+1} + a_lx^n +\dots + a_{n+l}|dx\to\min. \] Typically this problem is called Zolotorev's problem in \(L[-1, 1]\) metrics. A.~Korkin and E.~Zolotarev solved the problem in the case \(l=1\). Then E.~Galeev obtained a solution to Zolotarev's problem for \(l=2\). In the article under review, the author exposes a new method for solving this problem and translates the result to the case \(l=3\). For polynomials of the form \(R_{n+l}(x) = R_{n+l}(x, A_1,\dots, A_{l-1})\) with least deviations from zero in \(L[-1,1]\) metrics with prescribed leading part \(f(x) = x^{n+l} + A_1x^{n+l-1}+ \dots + A_{l-1}x^{n+1}\), the author obtains a representation via the so-called extremal polynomials with least deviations whose number of sign changes equals their degree.
