Does every positive continuous function have a non-negative interpolating polynomial of every degree?
Let $f:[a,b] \to (0,\infty)$ be a continuous function. Then is it necessarily true that for every $n\ge 1$, we can find $n+1$ distinct points $\{x_0,x_1,...,x_n\}$ in $[a,b]$ such that the ...

Polynomial interpolants in quadrature points and L2 convergence spectral rate
We recall that the Lagrange Interpolation Polynomial $p_n(x)$ of a function $f\in C^n(\Omega )$ for some $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, has a pointwise error term of the form $$|...

Do higher-order splines with Lipschitz derivatives exist on finite sets?
Fix $k\in \mathbb{N}^+$ and let $E=(e_i,f_i)_{i=1}^I\subset \mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^m$ be a non-empty finite set with $e_i\neq e_j$ whenever $i\neq j$.
If $n=m=1$ then it's easy to see that:
$$
