Abstract: | Conditions are established when the collocation polynomials Pm(x) and PM(x), m M, constructed respectively using the system of nodes xj of multiplicities aj 1, j = O,, n, and the system of nodes x-r,,xo,,xn,,xn+r1, r O, r1 O, of multiplicities a-r,,(ao + yo),,(an + yn),,an+r1, aj + yj 1, are two sided-approximations of the function f on the intervals, xj[, j = O,...,n + 1, and on unions of any number of these intervals. In this case, the polynomials Pm (x), PM(l) (x) with l aj are two-sided approximations of the function f(1) in the neighborhood of the node xj and the integrals of the polynomials Pm(x), PM(x) over Dj are two-sided approximations of the integral of the function f (over Dj). If the multiplicities aj aj + yj of the nodes xj are even, then this is also true for integrals over the set j=µk Dj µ 1, k n. It is shown that noncollocation polynomials (Fourier polynomials, etc.) do not have these properties.Kiev University.
