A note on optimal Hermite interpolation in Sobolev spaces

This paper investigates the optimal Hermite interpolation of Sobolev spaces $W_{\infty }^{n}[a,b]$ W ∞ n [ a , b ] , $n\in \mathbb{N}$ n ∈ N in space $L_{\infty }[a,b]$ L ∞ [ a , b ] and weighted spaces $L_{p,\omega }[a,b]$ L p , ω [ a , b ] , $1\le p< \infty $ 1 ≤ p < ∞ with ω a continuous-integrable weight function in $(a,b)$ ( a , b ) when the amount of Hermite data is n. We proved that the Lagrange interpolation algorithms based on the zeros of polynomial of degree n with the leading coefficient 1 of the least deviation from zero in $L_{\infty }$ L ∞ (or $L_{p,\omega }[a,b]$ L p , ω [ a , b ] , $1\le p<\infty $ 1 ≤ p < ∞ ) are optimal for $W_{\infty }^{n}[a,b]$ W ∞ n [ a , b ] in $L_{\infty }[a,b]$ L ∞ [ a , b ] (or $L_{p,\omega }[a,b]$ L p , ω [ a , b ] , $1\le p<\infty $ 1 ≤ p < ∞ ). We also give the optimal Hermite interpolation algorithms when we assume the endpoints are included in the interpolation systems.
