Abstract
Let A 0 be the class of functions f analytic in the open unit disk |z| < 1, continuous on |z| ≤ 1, but not analytic on |z| ≤ 1. We investigate the behavior of the Lagrange polynomial interpolants L n−1(f, z) to f in the n-th roots of unity. In contrast with the properties of the partial sums of the Maclaurin expansion, we show that for any w, with |w| > 1, there exists a g ≠ A 0 such that L n−1(g, w) = 0 for all n. We also analyze the size of the coefficients of L n−1(f, z) and the asymptotic behavior of the zeros of the L n−1(f, z).
