Best uniform approximation of $x^{n+2}$ in $\mathbb{P_n}$

Let $n\geq 1$ be an integer and $f(x)=x^{n+2}$ for all $ x \in [−1, 1]$. Find the best uniform approximation of $f$ in $\mathbb{P}_n$. Attempt: Let's solve this first for $f(x)=x^{n+1}$ instead. ...

Prove the $k$-th power of the logistic map with parameter $\mu = 4$ has $2^k$ fixed points

I'm trying to solve an exercise in which I need to prove that the logistic map with parameter $\mu = 4$, $F_4:[0,1]\to[0,1]$, $F_4(x) = 4x(1-x)$, satisfies that for every positive integer $k$, $F_4^k$ ...

The envelope for the extremals of $\cos((n+1) \arccos x)-\cos((n-1) \arccos x)$ forms an ellipse.

The Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind is defined on $[-1, 1]$ by $$T_n(x) = \cos(n \arccos x).$$ Prove that the envelope for the extremals of $T_{n+1}(x)-T_{n-1}(x)$ forms an ellipse. The ...

Chebyshev polynomial property

I want to prove inequality (5.13) but I have a problem with (5.16). I have: $$ \sin(n\theta) = \sin\theta \cos(n-1)\theta + \sin(n-1)\theta \cos\theta = $$ $$ = \sin\theta \cos(n-1)\theta + \cos\...

Roots of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind.

It is known that the roots of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, denote it by $U_n(x)$, are in the interval $(-1,1)$ and they are simple (of multiplicity one). I have noticed that the roots ...
