The more then hundred years old Bernstein inequality states that the supremum norm of the derivative of a trigonometric polynomial of fixed degree can be bounded from above by supremum norm of the polynomial itself. The reversed Bernstein…
Higher order Bernstein- and Markov-type inequalities are established for trigonometric polynomials on compact subsets of the real line and algebraic polynomials on compact subsets of the unit circle. In the case of Markov-type inequalities…
We derive bounds and asymptotics for the maximum Riesz polarization quantity $$M_n^p(A) := \max_{{\bold x}_1, {\bold x}_2, \ldots, {\bold x}_n \in A} {\min_{{\bold x} \in A}{\sum_{j=1}^n{\frac{1}{|{\bold x} - {\bold x}_j|^{p}}}}}$$ (which…
The Bernstein polynomial basis sees significant use owing to its unique properties, particularly in the field of optimal control. However, the basis is known to have a slow rate of convergence to the function it approximates. With this in…
First we consider the following problem which dates back to Chebyshev, Zolotarev and Achieser: among all trigonometric polynomials with given leading coefficients $a_0,...,a_l,$ $b_0,...,b_l \in \mathbb R$ find that one with least maximum…
We summarize researches - in great deal jointly with my host Y. Sarantopoulos and his PhD. students V. Anagnostopoulos and A. Pappas - started by a Marie Curie fellowship in 2001 and is still continuing. The project was to study…
We study the problem of minimizing the supremum norm, on a segment of the real line or on a compact set in the plane, by polynomials with integer coefficients. The extremal polynomials are naturally called integer Chebyshev polynomials.…
This paper establishes inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation spaces defined on bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and compact Riemannian manifolds. While inverse inequalities are well-studied for polynomial spaces,…
In this work we consider the problem of recovering non-uniform splines from their projection onto spaces of algebraic polynomials. We show that under a certain Chebyshev-type separation condition on its knots, a spline whose inner-products…
We give a simple, elementary, and at least partially new proof of Arestov's famous extension of Bernstein's inequality in $L_p$ to all $p \geq 0$. Our crucial observation is that Boyd's approach to prove Mahler's inequality for algebraic…
It is proven that for any system of n points z_1, ..., z_n on the (complex) unit circle, there exists another point z of norm 1, such that $$\sum 1/|z-z_k|^2 \leq n^2/4.$$ Equality holds iff the point system is a rotated copy of the nth…
We study the solution set to multivariate Chebyshev approximation problem, focussing on the ill-posed case when the uniqueness of solutions can not be established via strict polynomial separation. We obtain an upper bound on the dimension…
We prove a Bernstein-type inequality involving the Bergman and the Hardy norms, for rational functions in the unit disc \mathbb{D} having at most n poles all outside of \frac{1}{r}\mathbb{D}, 0
We consider the classical problem of estimating norms of higher order derivatives of algebraic polynomial via the norms of polynomial itself. The corresponding extremal problem for general polynomials in uniform norm was solved by A. A.…
Consider the problem, usually called the P\'olya-Chebotarev problem, of finding a continuum in the complex plane including some given points such that the logarithmic capacity of this continuum is minimal. We prove that each connected…
We introduce and study the unconstrained polarization (or Chebyshev) problem which requires to find an $N$-point configuration that maximizes the minimum value of its potential over a set $A$ in $p$-dimensional Euclidean space. This problem…
The inversion problem for rational B\'ezier curves is addressed by using resultant matrices for polynomials expressed in the Bernstein basis. The aim of the work is not to construct an inversion formula but finding the corresponding value…
The space of polynomial differential equations of a fixed degree with a center singularity has many irreducible components. We prove that pull back differential equations form an irreducible component of such a space. The method used in…
