Abstract

Let αC\alpha\in\mathbb{C} in the upper half-plane and let II be an interval. We construct an analogue of Selberg's majorant of the characteristic function of II that vanishes at the point α\alpha. The construction is based on the solution to an extremal problem with positivity and interpolation constraints.
