Polynomials of Least Deviation from Zero in Sobolev p-Norm

The first part of this paper complements previous results on characterization of polynomials of least deviation from zero in Sobolev p-norm ($$1<p<\infty $$ 1 < p < ∞ ) for the case $$p=1$$ p = 1 . Some relevant examples are indicated. The second part deals with the location of zeros of polynomials of least deviation in discrete Sobolev p-norm. The asymptotic distribution of zeros is established on general conditions. Under some order restriction in the discrete part, we prove that the n-th polynomial of least deviation has at least $$n-\mathbf {d}^*$$ n - d ∗ zeros on the convex hull of the support of the measure, where $$\mathbf {d}^*$$ d ∗ denotes the number of terms in the discrete part.

CONVERGENCE OF FUBINI–STUDY CURRENTS FOR ORBIFOLD LINE BUNDLES

We discuss positive closed currents and Fubini–Study currents on orbifolds, as well as Bergman kernels of singular Hermitian orbifold line bundles. We prove that the Fubini–Study currents associated to high powers of a semipositive singular line bundle converge weakly to the curvature current on the set where the curvature is strictly positive, generalizing a well-known theorem of Tian. We include applications to the asymptotic distribution of zeros of random holomorphic sections.

On the Distribution of Zeros and Poles of Rational Approximants on Intervals

The distribution of zeros and poles of best rational approximants is well understood for the functions , . If is not holomorphic on , the distribution of the zeros of best rational approximants is governed by the equilibrium measure of under the additional assumption that the rational approximants are restricted to a bounded degree of the denominator. This phenomenon was discovered first for polynomial approximation. In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic distribution of zeros, respectively, -values, and poles of best real rational approximants of degree at most to a function that is real-valued, but not holomorphic on . Generalizations to the lower half of the Walsh table are indicated.
