The main result of this paper is the following: if a compact subset E of ${ℝ}^n$ is UPC in the direction of a vector $v\in S^{n-1}$ then E has the Markov property in the direction of v. We present a method which permits us to generalize as well as to improve an earlier result of Pawłucki and Pleśniak [PP1].

Consider the normed space $(\mathbb{P}\left({ℂ}^N\right),|\left|·\right|\left|\right)$ of all polynomials of N complex variables, where || || a norm is such that the mapping $L_g:(\mathbb{P}\left({ℂ}^N\right),\left|\right|·\left|\right|\left)\ni f\mapsto gf\in \right(\mathbb{P}\left({ℂ}^N\right),\left|\right|·\left|\right|)$ is continuous, with g being a fixed polynomial. It is shown that the Markov type inequality $|\partial /\partial z_j{P\left|\right|\le M\left(degP\right)}^m\left|\right|P\left|\right|$, j = 1,...,N, $P\in \mathbb{P}\left({ℂ}^N\right)$, with positive constants M and m is equivalent to the inequality $\left|\right|{\partial }^N/\partial z₁...\partial z_{N}P\left|\right|\le M^{\text{'}}{\left(degP\right)}^{m^{\text{'}}}\left|\right|P\left|\right|$, $P\in \mathbb{P}\left({ℂ}^N\right)$, with some positive constants M’ and m’. A similar equivalence result is obtained for derivatives of a fixed order k ≥ 2, which can be more specifically formulated in the language of normed algebras. In...

We prove that the Cantor ternary set E satisfies the classical Markov inequality (see [Ma]): for each polynomial p of degree at most n (n = 0, 1, 2,...) (M) $|p^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)|\le M{n}^{m}su{p}_E\left|p\right|$ for x ∈ E, where M and m are positive constants depending only on E.

Let f be meromorphic on the compact set E ⊂ C with maximal Green domain of meromorphy $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$, ρ(f) < ∞. We investigate rational approximants $r_{n,mₙ}$ of f on E with numerator degree ≤ n and denominator degree ≤ mₙ. We show that a geometric convergence rate of order $\rho {\left(f\right)}^{-n}$ on E implies uniform maximal convergence in m₁-measure inside $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$ if mₙ = o(n/log n) as n → ∞. If mₙ = o(n), n → ∞, then maximal convergence in capacity inside $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$ can be proved at least for a subsequence Λ ⊂ ℕ. Moreover, an analogue of Walsh’s...

Following the research of Babuška and Práger, the author studies the approximation power of periodic interpolation in the mean square norm thus extending his own former results.
