The Best Approximation of the Sinc Function by a Polynomial of Degree with the Square Norm

Abstract

The polynomial of degree n which is the best approximation of the sinc function on the interval (0, ] with the square norm is considered. By using Lagrange's method of multipliers, we construct the polynomial explicitly. This method is also generalized to the continuous function on the closed interval [a, b]. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness.
