Point evaluation for polynomials on the circle

Complex Variables 2026-05-14 v2

Abstract

We study the constant Cd,p\mathscr{C}_{d,p} defined as the smallest constant CC such that PpCPpp\|P\|_\infty^p \leq C\|P\|_p^p holds for every polynomial PP of degree dd, where we consider the LpL^p norm on the unit circle. We conjecture that Cd,pdp/2+1\mathscr{C}_{d,p} \leq dp/2+1 for all p2p \geq 2 and all degrees dd. We show that the conjecture holds for all p2p \geq 2 when d4d \leq 4 and for all dd when p6.8p \geq 6.8.
