“…[1,5]), or (iii) relaxing the requirement that the interpolant be of minimal degree n − 1. This last issue has been investigated by several mathematicians, including Erdős, Szabados, and Vertesi; see, for instance, [3,15,17,16]. In particular, Szabados has proved the following [15]: Suppose n is a positive integer, and let x j,n = cos θ j,n , where 0 ≤ θ 1,n < .…”
