On simultaneous approximation to a differentiable function and its derivative by inverse Pal-Type interpolation polynomials

Let ξ_{n −1} < ξ_{n −2} < ξ_{n − 2} < ... < ξ₁ be the zeros of the the (n−1)-th Legendre polynomial P_n−1(x) and −1=x_n<x_n−1<...<x₁=1, the zeros of the polynomial . By the theory of the inverse Pal-Type interpolation, for a function f(x)∈C _−1,1] ¹ , there exists a unique polynomial R_n(x) of degree 2n−2 (if n is even) satisfying conditions R_n(f, ξ_k) = f (ε_k) (1 ⩽ k ⩽ n −1); R¹ _n(f,x_k)=f¹(x_k)(1≤k≤n). This paper discusses the simultaneous approximation to a differentiable function f by inverse Pal-Type interpolation polynomial {R_n(f, x)} (n is even) and the main result of this paper is that if f∈C _1,1] ^r , r≥2, n≥r+2, and n is even then |R¹ _n(f,x)−f¹(x)|=0(1)|W_n(x)|h(x)·n^3−r·E_2n−r−3(f^(r)) holds uniformly for all x∈−1,1], where .
