Abstract: Thiran and Detaille give an explicit formula for the asymptotics of the sup-norm of the Chebyshev polynomials on a circular arc. We give the so-called $extrmSzegHo$-Widom asymptotics for this domain, i.e., explicit expressions for the asymptotics of the corresponding extremal polynomials. Moreover, we solve a similar problem with respect to the upper envelope of a family of polynomials uniformly bounded on this arc. That is, we give explicit formulas for the asymptotics of the error of approximation as well as of the extremal functions. Our computations show that in the proper normalization the limit of the upper envelope represents the diagonal of a reproducing kernel of a certain Hilbert space of analytic functions. Due to Garabedian the analytic capacity in an arbitrary domain is the diagonal of the corresponding $extrmSzegHo$ kernel. We don't know any result of this kind with respect to upper envelopes of polynomials. If this is a general fact or a specific property of the given domain, we rise as an open question.

Review text

Asymptotics of the sup-norm of the Chebyshev polynomials on a circular arc have been known in the literature. In the current article, the author gives the so-called Szegő-Widom asymptotics for this domain. Then a similar problem with respect to the upper envelope of a family of polynomials uniformly bounded on this arc is solved. This paper is well written, especially when recalling the difficulty of finding explicit asymptotics in constructive approximation theory. The main results in this paper are Theorems 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, which are presented in the beginning of the paper. These theorems are then proved based on many other lemmas and theorems, whose proofs use techniques from complex analysis and potential theory.
