The Upper Bound for the Lebesgue Constant for Lagrange Interpolation in Equally Spaced Points of the Triangle

Abstract

An upper bound for the Lebesgue constant (the supremum norm) of the operator of interpolation of a function in equally spaced points of a triangle by a polynomial of total degree less than or equal to n is obtained. Earlier, the rate of increase of the Lebesgue constants with respect to n for an arbitrary d-dimensional simplex was established by the author. The explicit upper bound proved in this article refines this result for d=2.
