More properties of \((\beta,\gamma)\)-Chebyshev functions and points



Abstract: Recently, -Chebyshev functions, as well as the corresponding zeros, have been introduced as a generalization of classical Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and related roots. They consist of a family of orthogonal functions on a subset of [−1,1], which indeed satisfies a three-term recurrence formula. In this paper we present further properties, which are proven to comply with various results about classical orthogonal polynomials. In addition, we prove a conjecture concerning the Lebesgue constant's behavior related to the roots of -Chebyshev functions in the corresponding orthogonality interval.


Chebyshev polynomials can be defined via recurrence relations or equations using trigonometric polynomials of the type \(\cos (n\arccos x)\). Their zeros are important for good choices (i.e., guaranteeing small Lebesgue constants) of points for polynomial interpolation. In this article, a very interesting generalisation using instead of the above a definition \(\cos(n/(1-\beta/2-\gamma/2) \cdot \arccos (x-\pi\gamma/2))\) is used, the classical case appearing when both \(\gamma\) and \(\beta\) vanish. The authors show about these polynomials what the generating functions are, establish the Christoffel Darboux formula and compute Lebesgue constants. They also show that the new, generalised Chebyshev functions are solutions of a Sturm Liouville boundary value problem.
