Estimates of the Best Approximation of Polynomials by Simple Partial Fractions

Resumo

An asymptotics of the error of interpolation of real constants at Chebyshev nodes is obtained. Some well-known estimates of the best approximation by simple partial fractions (logarithmic derivatives of algebraic polynomials) of real constants in the closed interval [−1, 1] and complex constants in the unit disk are refined. As a consequence, new estimates of the best approximation of real polynomials on closed intervals of the real axis and of complex polynomials on arbitrary compact sets are obtained.
