Universal polynomial majorants on convex bodies (Q5945601)

Denote by \(B_n(K)\) the set of all polynomials \(p_n\) of \(d\) variables and of degree at most \(n\) such that \(|p_n|\leq 1\) on a given convex body \(K\subset \mathbb{R}^d\). The author proves that for every even \(n\) there exists \(p^*_n\in B_n(K)\) and a constant \(\gamma\geq 1\) such that for every \(p_n\in B_n(K)\) and for every \(x\in \mathbb{R}^d \setminus K\) we have \(|p_n(x) |\leq \gamma \cdot|p^*_n (x)|\). Moreover, if \(\gamma=1\), then \(K\) cannot be an ellipsoid.
