On the pointwise limits of bivariate Lagrange projectors

چکیده
A linear algebra proof is given of the fact that the nullspace of a finite-rank linear projector, on polynomials in two complex variables, is an ideal if and only if the projector is the bounded pointwise limit of Lagrange projectors, i.e., projectors whose nullspace is a radical ideal, i.e., the set of all polynomials that vanish on a certain given finite set. A characterization of such projectors is also given in the real case. More generally, a characterization is given of those finite-rank linear projectors, on polynomials in d complex variables, with nullspace an ideal that are the bounded pointwise limit of Lagrange projectors. The characterization is in terms of a certain sequence of d commuting linear maps and so focuses attention on the algebra generated by such sequences. AMS Classification: 41A63, 41A10, 41A35

Bivariate ideal projectors and their perturbations
In this paper we present a complete description of ideal projectors from the space of bivariate polynomials F[x, y] onto its subspace F<n[x, y] of polynomials of degree less than n. Several applications are given. In particular, we study small perturbations of ideal projectors as well as the limits of Lagrange projectors. The latter results verify one particular case of a conjecture of Carl de ...

s for MAIA 2007 The limits of bivariate Lagrange projectors Carl de Boor∗ and Boris Shekhtman Eastsound, Washington In a talk in Norway in 2003, the first author conjectured that any finite-rank ideal projector (i.e., finite-rank linear projector on the space of polynomials in d variables whose kernel is a polynomial ideal, i.e., a linear space also closed under pointwise multiplication by poly...
متن کاملWhat Are the Limits of Lagrange Projectors?
The behavior of interpolants as interpolation sites coalesce is explored in the suitably restricted context of multivariate polynomial interpolation. A Lagrange projector Pτ is, by definition, a linear map on some linear space X of (scalar-valued) functions on some domain T that associates each function f ∈ X with the unique element Pτf in ranPτ that agrees with f at a given (finite) set τ . Th...
متن کاملOn the Limits of Lagrange Projectors
This article addresses a question of Carl de Boor (cf. [3]): What ideal projectors are the limits of Lagrange projectors? The results of this paper answer the question in the sense that for every ideal projector P we prescribe nitely many computations that determine whether the projector P is a limit of Lagrange projectors.
متن کاملOn a Conjecture of Carl de Boor Regarding the Limits of Lagrange Interpolants
The purpose of this paper is to provide a counterexample to a conjecture of Carl de Boor [2], that every ideal projector is a limit of Lagrange projectors. The counterexample is based on a construction of A. Iarrobino [9] pointed to in this context by G. Ellingsrud (as mentioned in de Boor’s paper [2]). We also show that the conjecture is true for polynomials in two variables.
