On the approximation properties of fast Leja points

Abstract

Fast Leja points on an interval are points constructed using a discrete modification of the algorithm for constructing Leja points. Not much about fast Leja points has been proven theoretically. We present an asymptotic property of a triangular interpolation array, and under the assumption that fast Leja points satisfy this property, we prove that they are good for Lagrange interpolation.
