Markov-Bernstein and Landau-Kolmogorov type inequalities in several variables for the Hermite and closely connected measures (Q744063)

The authors consider multivariate Markov-Bernstein and Landau-Kolmogorov type inequalities in \(L^2\)-norm. Hermite measure as well as measures with the property that partial derivatives of orthogonal polynomials are again orthogonal are employed. The multivariate orthogonal polynomials are tensor products of univariate orthogonal polynomials. The inequalities under consideration are obtained via a variational method involving the square norm of a polynomial \(p\) and at most those of the partial derivatives of order 2 of \(p\). It is shown that the sequence of multivariate polynomials, which are orthogonal with respect to Hermite and Laguerre-Sonin measures, are closed in a certain Sobolev space. A consequence of this result is the observation that the given Landau-Kolmogorov type inequalities also hold for functions in this Sobolev space.
