Some remarks on multivariate Chebyshev polynomials (Q678449)

Let \(S\) be the triangular planar set \(S=\{ (x,y):x\geqslant 0, y \geqslant 0, 0\leqslant x+y \leqslant 1\} .\) \textit{D. J. Newman} and \textit{Y. Xu} [Constructive Approximation 9, 543-546 (1993; Zbl 0780.41004)] found an analogue of Chebyshev polynomials \(T_{n}\) deviated least from zero on \([-1,1]\) for \(S.\) The author investigates a possibility to generalize an extremal property of Chebyshev polynomials (maximal growth outside the interval). This is the case for polynomials of degree 1, with replacing zero dimensional point evaluation by one-dimensional norms on diagonal parallels, \(x+y=s\geqslant 1.\) Uniqueness of Chebyshev polynomials in such a case is proved, too. Secondly, the author shows that polynomials \(T_{n}(x+y)\) are unique deviating least from zero among all polynomials with ''leading term'' \[ \sum_{i+j}a_{i,j}x^{i}y^{j}=2^{n-1}(x+y)^{n} \] on \(\{ (x,y): xy\geqslant 0, x+y = s, -1\leqslant s \leqslant 1\}.\)
