Generalization of a theorem of Fekete to the case of generalized complex polynomials (Q803314)

In 1923 Fekete proved that for every n there exists a polynomial \(P_ n(t)\) with integer coefficients such that \[ | P_ n(t)| \leq 2(n+1)(\frac{b-a}{4})^{n/2}\text{ for } t\in <a,b>. \] In this paper the Fekete result is generalized to the class of generalized complex polynomials. Let \(f_ n(t)=\phi_ n(t)+i\psi_ n(t)\), \(\phi_ n,\psi_ n\in L^ 2_{U(t)}[a,b]\), U(t)\(\geq 0\), be a given system of independent complex functions. The function of the form \(P_ n(t)=\sum^{n}_{m=1}\alpha_ mf_ m(t)\), where \(\alpha_ m\in K\) (a given field) is called a generalized complex polynomial. Theorem. For every n there exists a generalized complex polynomial \(P_ n(t)\) with integer algebraic coefficients \(\alpha_ m\) belonging to the field K such that \[ \max_{t\in <a,b>}| P_ n(t)| U(t)\leq \sqrt{2h}n\Omega_ n\Delta_ n^{n}, \] where h, \(\Omega_ n\), \(\Delta_ n\), determined in the paper, are depending on a, b, n, \(f_ n(t)\) but not depending on \(P_ n(t)\).
