Optimal systems of nodes for Lagrange interpolation on bounded intervals. A survey (Q5946742)

In this short survey, the authors present some recent procedures for constructing optimal interpolation processes, i.e., the processes with Lebesgue constants having logarithmic behavior, in the uniform metric on \([-1,1]\). The paper contains several known results and the following new result: the authors prove that, if we add a suitable number of knots near the endpoints of \([-1,1]\) to the zeros of the associated Jacobi polynomials, we obtain an interpolation process with optimal Lebesgue constant.
