We study optimal lower and upper bounds for Widom factors $W_{\infty,n}(K,w)$ associated with Chebyshev polynomials for the weights $w(x)=\sqrt{1+x}$ and $w(x)=\sqrt{1-x}$ on compact subsets of $[-1,1]$. We show which sets saturate these…

We study Widom factors for (a) monic orthogonal polynomials in $L^2$ with respect to the equilibrium measure of a compact set $K\subset\mathbb{R}$ and (b) residual polynomials normalized at an exterior point. Using weakly equilibrium Cantor…

We study weighted Chebyshev polynomials on compact subsets of the complex plane with respect to a bounded weight function. We establish existence and uniqueness of weighted Chebyshev polynomials and derive weighted analogs of Kolmogorov's…

We continue our study of the Widom factors for $L_p(\mu)$ extremal polynomials initiated in [4]. In this work we characterize sets for which the lower bounds obtained in [4] are saturated, establish continuity of the Widom factors with…

We survey results on Chebyshev polynomials centered around the work of H. Widom. In particular, we discuss asymptotics of the polynomials and their norms and general upper and lower bounds for the norms. Several open problems are also…

We derive optimal asymptotic and non-asymptotic lower bounds on the Widom factors for weighted Chebyshev and orthogonal polynomials on compact subsets of the real line. In the Chebyshev case we extend the optimal non-asymptotic lower bound…

Let $K(\gamma)$ be the weakly equilibrium Cantor type set introduced in [10]. It is proven that the monic orthogonal polynomials $Q_{2^s}$ with respect to the equilibrium measure of $K(\gamma)$ coincide with the Chebyshev polynomials of the…

We derive lower bounds for the $L^p(\mu)$ norms of monic extremal polynomials with respect to compactly supported probability measures $\mu$. We obtain a sharp universal lower bound for all $0<p<\infty$ and all measures in the Szeg\H{o}…

We study totally bounded subsets in weighted variable exponent amalgam and Sobolev spaces. Moreover, this paper includes several detailed generalized results of some compactness criterions in these spaces.

We generalize the universal power series of Seleznev to several variables and we allow the coefficients to depend on parameters. Then, the approximable functions may depend on the same parameters. The universal approximation holds on…

In this paper, we prove that a compact set $K\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ is the support of a weighted equilibrium measure if and only it is not pluripolar at each of its points extending a result of Saff and Totik to higher dimensions. Thus, we…

We prove a new lower bound for the Mahler measure of a polynomial in one and in several variables that depends on the complex coefficients, and the number of monomials. In one variable our result generalizes a classical inequality of…

We investigate the sets of uniform limits $A(\bar{B}_n)$, $A(\bar{D}^I)$ of polynomials on the closed unit ball $\bar{B}_n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ and on the cartesian product $\bar{D}^I$ where $I$ is an arbitrary set and $\bar{D}$ is the closed…

For any $k\geq 1$, this paper studies the number of polynomials having $k$ irreducible factors (counted with or without multiplicities) in $\mathbf{F}_q[t]$ among different arithmetic progressions. We obtain asymptotic formulas for the…

The Mahler measure of a polynomial $P$ in $n$ variables is defined as the mean of $\log|P|$ over the $n$-dimensional torus. For certain polynomials with integer coefficients in two variables the Mahler measure is known to be related to…

The W-polynomial is applied in two ways to questions involving the Kauffman bracket of some families of links. First we find a geometric property of a link diagram, which is less than or equal to the twist number, that bounds the Mahler…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $C^{2+}$ Jordan arc and let $\Gamma_0$ be the open arc which consists of interior points of $\Gamma$. We find concrete upper and lower bounds for the limit of Widom factors for $L_2(\mu)$ extremal polynomials on $\Gamma$…

We pursue various restricted variable generalizations of the Chevalley-Warning theorem for low degree polynomial systems over a finite field. Our first such result involves variables restricted to Cartesian products of the Vandermonde…

We consider Chebyshev polynomials, $T_n(z)$, for infinite, compact sets $\frak{e} \subset \mathbb{R}$ (that is, the monic polynomials minimizing the sup-norm, $\Vert T_n \Vert_{\frak{e}}$, on $\frak{e}$). We resolve a $45+$ year old…

We generalize the Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem on polynomial approximation in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to the case where the polynomial ring $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ is replaced by a subring $\mathcal{P}^S(\mathbb{C}^n)$ consisting of all…
