Lacunary Interpolation by Antiperiodic Trigonometric Polynomials

The problem of lacunary trigonometric interpolation is investigated. Does a trigonometric polynomial T exist which satisfies T(x _k) = a _k, D ^m T(x _k) = b _k, 0 k n – 1, where x _k = k/n is a nodal set, a _k and b _k are prescribed complex numbers, and m N. Results obtained by several authors for the periodic case are extended to the antiperiodic case. In particular solvability is established when n as well as m are even. In this case a periodic solution does not exist.
