A Generalization of a Minimal Problem of Korkin-Zolotarev kind
arXiv:1401.5642
Abstract
This is an English translation of the paper in which N. I. Akhiezer discovered his famous orthogonal polynomials on two intervals in a connection with a generalization of the Korkin-Zolotarev (Korkine-Zolotaref) problem (see the small commentary by P. Yuditskii, attached to the current publication). Translated from German by F. Puchhammer.
