Abschätzungen ganzzahliger Polynome auf dem Intervall [0,1]. (Estimates of integer polynomials on the unit interval)

From MaRDI portal





Let \(P\in {\mathbb{Z}}[x]\) and define \(m(P)=\max_{0\leq x\leq 1}| P(x)|\). Let \({\mathcal P}_ n\) be the set of \(P\in {\mathbb{Z}}[x]\) with degree \(\leq n\). The author then considers the problem of finding \(\mu_ n=\min_{{\mathcal P}_ n} (m(P_ n))^{1/n}\). Using elementary methods it is shown that there exists \(\mu >0\) such that \(\lim_{n\to \infty} \mu_ n=\mu\), \(\mu_ n>\mu\) and together with the prime number theorem it is shown that \(1/e<\mu <1/\sqrt{5}\). The converse idea to construct polynomials with tiny m(P) in order to get statements on prime numbers had been considered some years ago, notably by M. Nair.
