Abstract

We investigate Chebyshev polynomials corresponding to Jacobi weights and determine monotonicity properties of their related Widom factors. This complements work by Bernstein from 1930-31 where the asymptotical behavior of the related Chebyshev norms was established. As a part of the proof, we analyze a Bernstein-type inequality for Jacobi polynomials due to Chow et al. Our findings shed new light on the asymptotical uniform bounds of Jacobi polynomials. We also show a relation between weighted Chebyshev polynomials on the unit circle and Jacobi weighted Chebyshev polynomials on [-1,1]. This generalizes work by Lachance et al. In order to complete the picture we provide numerical experiments on the remaining cases that our proof does not cover.
