Abstract: We make a number of comments on Chebyshev polynomials for general compact subsets of the complex plane. We focus on two aspects: asymptotics of the zeros and explicit Totik--Widom upper bounds on their norms.


The Chebyshev polynomial \(T_n\) of a compact infinite set \(E\subset{\mathbb C}\) is that monic polynomial of degree-\(n\) which minimizes \({\|P_n\|}_E\) over all degree \(n\) monic polynomials \(P_n\), where \({\|\cdot\|}_E\) denotes the supremum norm on \(E\). In this paper, which is the fourth part of a series of papers (the second joint with Yuditskii), all of them devoted to Chebyshev polynomials and related problems, the authors present some results for rather general sets \(E\) in the complex plane. On the one hand, they prove some interesting results concerning the asymptotics of the zeros of \(T_n\), and on the other hand, they give explicit Totik-Widom upper bounds for certain complex sets \(E\). For Part III, see [the authors, Oper. Theory: Adv. Appl. 276, 231--246 (2020; Zbl 1448.41026)].
