A well-known result due to S.N. Bernstein is that sequence of Lagrange interpolation polynomials for |x| at equally spaced nodes in [−1, 1] diverges everywhere, except at zero and the end-points. In this paper we present a quantitative version concerning the divergence behaviour of the Lagrange interpolants for |x|3 at equidistant nodes. Furthermore, we present the exact rate of convergence for the interpolatory parabolas at the point zero.

It is shown that for m = 1,2,3,…, the trigonometric sums and can be represented as integer-valued polynomials in n of degrees 2m – 1 and 2m, respectively. Properties of these polynomials are discussed, and recurrence relations for the coefficients are obtained. The proofs of the results depend on the representations of particular polynomials of degree n – 1 or less as their own Lagrange interpolation polynomials based on the zeros of the nth Chebyshev polynomial Tn(x) = cos(narccos x), -1≤x≤1.
