Aliasing estimate for ultraspherical rectangular collocation

Let pn(x;λ)p_n(x;\lambda) be the degree-nn ultraspherical polynomial, let P=(x1,,xn)P=(x_1,\ldots,x_n) be its roots, and write

Fn(μλ)PλP=[a1a2],\mathbf F_n(\mu_\lambda)\mathbf P_{\lambda\to P}=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf a_1&\mathbf a_2&\cdots\end{bmatrix},

where aj=ej\mathbf a_j=\mathbf e_j for j=1,,nj=1,\ldots,n. Here nn and jj are positive integers, and 2\|\cdot\|_{\ell^2} denotes the Euclidean norm of the column vector.

Aliasing estimate. There exists c(λ)>0c(\lambda)>0 such that

aj2c(λ)\|\mathbf a_j\|_{\ell^2}\leq c(\lambda)

for all n,jn,j.

The preceding proposition gives a Frobenius-norm estimate growing linearly with the number of aliased columns; this claim would provide a uniform columnwise bound instead. The supplied text does not state whether the estimate has been proved or disproved.
