Szegő-Widom asymptotics of Chebyshev polynomials on circular arcs (Q526782)

Asymptotics of the sup-norm of the Chebyshev polynomials on a circular arc have been known in the literature. In the current article, the author gives the so-called Szegő-Widom asymptotics for this domain. Then a similar problem with respect to the upper envelope of a family of polynomials uniformly bounded on this arc is solved. This paper is well written, especially when recalling the difficulty of finding explicit asymptotics in constructive approximation theory. The main results in this paper are Theorems 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, which are presented in the beginning of the paper. These theorems are then proved based on many other lemmas and theorems, whose proofs use techniques from complex analysis and potential theory.
