We prove that the theorem on the incompleteness of polynomials in the space C w 0 established by de Branges in 1959 is not true for the space L d p ( , ) R μ if the support of the measure μ is sufficiently dense.
Preliminary Information and Main Result1.1. De Branges Theorem. Let M + ( ) R be the cone of finite Borel measures on the real axis R , letand unbounded supportthe set of measures μ ∈ * M ( ) R for which supp μ ⊂ R + : = [ 0, + ∞ ), let C( ) R be the linear space of all functions real-valued and continuous on R, let P be the set of all algebraic polynomials with real coefficients, let P s D [ ] be the set of polynomials from P all roots of which are simple and belong to the set D ⊂ R, let B( ) R be the family of Borel subsets of R, let P be the collection of linear topological spaces of real-valued functions on R for which P is a dense subset, and let W * ( ) R be the set of upper-semicontinuous functions w : R → R + such that x n w
