Exact estimates of functions in Sobolev spaces with uniform norm (Q6575358)

In this paper, the authors investigate some properties of the Sobolev space \(W_{\infty}^{n}[0,1]\). In particular, for a given point \(a \in (0,1)\), they establish the following estimate for functions in Sobolev spaces with respect to the uniform norm:\N\[\N|f(a)| \leq A_{n,0,\infty}(a) \| f^{(n)} \|_{L_{\infty}[0,1]}.\N\]\NThe connection between the functions \(A_{n,0,\infty}\) and the optimal polynomial approximation of certain splines in \(L_1[0,1]\) is analyzed, using the Peano kernel. Further, they determine the embedding constants \(\Lambda_{n,0,\infty}:=\max_{a\in (0,1)}A_{n,0,\infty}(a)\), along with their asymptotic behavior.
