The $\lambda$ in the previous question was part of the original question but of course if we fix $\lambda$, we might as well take $\lambda = 1$ and scale the $a_i$ accordingly. But then, as you note, we might as well do away with $G(x,y)$ altogether. | |
| Dec 12, 2017 at 17:03 | comment | added | GH from MO | The role of $G(x,y)$ is unclear. Why don't you simply define $g(x)$ as $a_0(x) + a_1(x)(x-b_1) + a_2(x)(x-b_1)(x-b_2) + \dots$? | |
