NOTES ON LACUNARY MUNTZ POLYNOMIALS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We prove that a Mntz system has Chebyshev polynomials on [0,1] with uniformly bounded coefficients if and only if it is lacunary. A sharp Bernstein-type inequality for lacunary Mntz systems is established as well. As an application we show that a lacunary Mntz system fails to be dense in C(A) in the uniform norm for every A [0,1] with positive outer Lebesgue measure. A bounded Remez-type inequality is conjectured for non-dense Mntz systems on [0,1] which would solve Newman's problem concerning the density of products of Mntz systems. 1991 Hebrew University.
