Abstract

The famous Bernstein conjecture about optimal node systems in classical polynomial Lagrange interpolation, standing unresolved for about half a century, was solved by T. Kilgore in 1978. Immediately following him, also the additional conjecture of Erd\H{o}s was solved by de Boor and Pinkus. These breakthrough achievements were built on a fundamental auxiliary result on nonsingularity of derivative (Jacobian) matrices of certain interval maxima in function of the nodes. After the above breakthrough, a considerable effort was made to extend the results to the case of at least certain Chebyshev-Haar spaces of functions. Here, we analyse, in what extent the key nonsingularity statement remains true in case of exponentially weighted interpolation on the halfline, or with Hermite weights on the full real line. In these settings counterexamples demonstrate that the respective derivative matrices may as well be singular. It remains to further study if the Bernstein- and Erd\H{o}s characterizations remain valid. The ``hybrid'' Chebyshev-Haar system of exponentially weighted polynomials adjoined with constant functions and the corresponding interpolation were previously studied, as well. Some hints were also given for the proof of the respective Bernstein and Erd\H{o}s conjectures. We present in detail the full proof together with all the auxiliary results needed in this setting.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
