I’ve just uploaded to the arXiv my paper “Local Bernstein theory, and lower bounds for Lebesgue constants“. This paper was initially motivated by a problem of Erdős} on Lagrange interpolation, but in the course of solving that problem, I ended up modifying some very classical arguments of Bernstein and his contemporaries (Boas, Duffin, Schaeffer, Riesz, etc.) to obtain “local” versions of these classical “Bernstein-type inequalities” that may be of independent interest. Bernstein proved many...
