Asymptotic sharpness of the Bernstein inequality constant for rational functions in Hardy spaces

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let n≥1n\geq 1, r∈[0,1)r\in[0,1), and let Rn,r\mathcal{R}_{n,r} be the rational functions p/qp/q in the unit disc, where p,qp,q are analytic polynomials of degree at most nn, deg⁡p<deg⁡q\operatorname{deg}p<\operatorname{deg}q, and every zero of qq lies outside (1/r)D(1/r)\mathbb{D}. For Banach spaces X,YX,Y of holomorphic functions on the unit disc, let Cn,r(X,Y)\mathcal{C}_{n,r}(X,Y) be the best constant such that

∥f′∥X≤Cn,r(X,Y)∥f∥Y(f∈Rn,r).\|f'\|_X\leq \mathcal{C}_{n,r}(X,Y)\|f\|_Y\qquad(f\in\mathcal{R}_{n,r}).

Asymptotic sharpness conjecture. For 1≤p≤∞1\leq p\leq\infty, the constant (1+r)1/p(1+r)^{1/p} in the estimate

Cn,r(H1,Hp)≤(1+r)1/pn(1−r)1/p\mathcal{C}_{n,r}(H^1,H^p)\leq (1+r)^{1/p}\frac{n}{(1-r)^{1/p}}

should be asymptotically sharp as n→+∞n\to+\infty. In particular, the paper records the known result

lim⁡n→∞Cn,r(H2,H2)n=1+r1−r.\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\mathcal{C}_{n,r}(H^2,H^2)}{n}=\frac{1+r}{1-r}.

The claim concerns the optimal asymptotic constant in Bernstein-type inequalities for rational functions with poles constrained outside a larger disc. The cited H2H^2 limit is stated as already proved, while the general asymptotic sharpness is presented as something that should be proved using the same test function.
