Bojanov–Naidenov Problem for Differentiable Functions and the Erdős Problem for Polynomials and Splines

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We solve an extremal problem

$${\Vert {x}_{\pm }^{\left(k\right)}\Vert }_{{L}_{p}\left[a,b\right]}\to \mathrm{sup}, k=\mathrm{0,1},\dots ,\mathrm{r}-1,\mathrm{p}>0,$$

in a class of pairs (x, I) of functions \(x \in {S}_{\varphi }^{k}\) such that \({\varphi }^{\left(i\right)}\) are the comparison functions for \({x}^{\left(i\right)},\) i = 0, 1,,k, and the intervals I = [a, b] satisfy the conditions

$${L\left(x\right)}_{p}\le A, \mu \left\{{\mathrm{supp}}_{\left[a,b\right]}{x}_{\pm }^{\left(k\right)}\right\}\le \mu ,$$

where

$${L\left(x\right)}_{p}:=\mathrm{sup}\left\{{\left(\underset{a}{\overset{b}{\int }}{\left|x\left(t\right)\right|}^{p}dt\right)}^\frac{1}{p}:a,b\in \mathbf{R},\left|x\left(t\right)\right|>0,t\in \left(a,b\right)\right\}.$$

In particular, we solve the same problems on the classes \({W}_{\infty }^{r}\left(\mathbf{R}\right)\) and on bounded sets of spaces of trigonometric polynomials and splines, as well as the Erdős problem for the positive (negative) parts of polynomials and splines.
