Best approximations for the weighted combination of the Cauchy--Szegö kernel and its derivative in the mean
In this paper, we study an extremal problem concerning best approximation in the Hardy space $H^1$ on the unit disk $\mathbb D$. Specifically, we consider weighted combinations of the Cauchy-Szegö kernel and its derivative, parametrized by an inner function $φ$ and a complex number $λ$, and provide explicit formula of the best approximation $e_{φ,z}(λ)$ by the subspace $H^1_0$. We also describe the extremal functions associated with this approximation.
