The best extension of algebraic polynomials from the unit circle

From MaRDI portal
Publication:643742





Let a degree \(n\) be fixed, and consider the set \(P_n\) of all real polynomials in two variables of degree at most \(n\), that have uniform norm at most \(1\) on the unit circle. For each such polynomial \(p\), consider all polynomials of degree at most \(n\), which coincide with \(p\) on the unit circle. What is the minimal possible uniform norm of these extensions on a general circle of radius \(r\)? And what is the supremum over all this infima, when \(p\) runs through \(P_n\)? This value is denoted by \(\theta_n(r)\), and it is shown that \(\theta_n(r)=r^n\) for \(r>1\) and \(\theta_n(r)=r^{n-1}\) for \(0<r<1.\)
