Some Numerical Results on Fekete Polynomials

It is known that if x is a real residue character modulo k with x(p) = — 1 k n for the first five primes p, then the corresponding Fekete polynomial £„=j X(n)x changes sign on (0, 1). In this paper it is shown that the condition that x(p) be — 1 for the first four primes p is not sufficient to guarantee such a sign change. More specifically, if x ¡s the real nonprincipal character modulo either...

An Extremal Property of Fekete Polynomials

Fekete Polynomials and Shapes of Julia Sets

We prove that a nonempty, proper subset S of the complex plane can be approximated in a strong sense by polynomial filled Julia sets if and only if S is bounded and Ĉ \ int(S) is connected. The proof that such a set is approximable by filled Julia sets is constructive and relies on Fekete polynomials. Illustrative examples are presented. We also prove an estimate for the rate of approximation i...

Least squares approximations of power series

The classical least squares solutions in C[−1,1] in terms of linear combinations of ul-traspherical polynomials are extended in order to estimate power series on (−1,1). Approximate rates of uniform and pointwise convergence are obtained, which correspond to recent results of U. Luther and G. Mastroianni on Fourier projections with respect to Jacobi polynomials.
