We consider the integer Chebyshev problem, that of minimizing the supremum norm over polynomials with integer coefficients on the interval $[0,1]$. We implement algorithms from semi-infinite programming and a branch and bound algorithm to…

A class P_{n,m,p}(x) of polynomials is defined. The combinatorial meaning of its coefficients is given. Chebyshev polynomials are the special cases of P_{n,m,p}(x). It is first shown that P_{n,m,p}(x) may be expressed in terms of…

In this paper we consider the minimal polynomial $\psi_n(x)$ of $2\cos (2\pi /n)$. We introduce some polynomial sequences with the same recurrence relation as the rescaled Chebyshev polynomials $t_n(x)=2\, T_n(x/2)$ of the first kind, which…

We give upper and lower bounds for weighted Chebyshev and residual polynomials on subsets of the real line. As an application, we prove a Szeg\H{o}-type theorem in the setting of Parreau--Widom sets.

We consider a new multivariate generalization of the classical monic (univariate) Chebyshev polynomial that minimizes the uniform norm on the interval $[-1,1]$. Let $\Pi^*_n$ be the subset of polynomials of degree at most $n$ in $d$…

In this paper we evaluate Chebyshev polynomials of the second-kind on a class of symmetric integer matrices, namely on adjacency matrices of simply laced Dynkin and extended Dynkin diagrams. As an application of these results we explicitly…

Given $n$ polynomials $p_1, \dots, p_n$ of degree at most $n$ with $\|p_i\|_\infty \le 1$ for $i \in [n]$, we show there exist signs $x_1, \dots, x_n \in \{-1,1\}$ so that \[\Big\|\sum_{i=1}^n x_i p_i\Big\|_\infty < 30\sqrt{n}, \] where…

The series expansion of $x^m (-\log x)^l$ in terms of the shifted Chebyshev Polynomials $T_n^*(x)$ requires evaluation of the integral family $\int_0^1 x^m (-\log x)^l dx / \sqrt{x-x^2}$. We demonstrate that these can be reduced by partial…

We study residual polynomials, $R_{x_0,n}^{(\mathfrak{e})}$, $\mathfrak{e}\subset\mathbb{R}$, $x_0\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathfrak{e}$, which are the degree at most $n$ polynomials with $R(x_0)=1$ that minimize the $\sup$ norm on…

We are interested in irrationality of roots for seven important families of polynomials : Tchebichef polynomials, Legendre polynomials, Laguerre polynomials, Hermite polynomials, Bessel polynomials, Bernoulli polynomials and Euler…

We make a number of comments on Chebyshev polynomials for general compact subsets of the complex plane. We focus on two aspects: asymptotics of the zeros and explicit Totik--Widom upper bounds on their norms.

For the Hahn and Krawtchouk polynomials orthogonal on the set $\{0, \ldots,N\}$ new identities for the sum of squares are derived which generalize the trigonometric identity for the Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind. These…

In this paper we show there exists an infinite family of number fields $L$, Galois over $\mathbb{Q}$, for which the smallest prime $p$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ which splits completely in $L$ has size at least $( \log(|D_L|) )^{2+o(1)}$. This gives a…

Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind for a set K are monic polynomials with minimal L $\infty$-and L 1-norm on K, respectively. This articles presents numerical procedures based on semidefinite programming to compute these…
