Given a function ƒ(z), continuous on C: |z| = 1 in the complex plane, there is a close analogy between approximation in the sense of least squares by polynomials on the unit circle and interpolation by polynomials in the nth roots of unity to the same function. For detailed discussion of the problem and its generalization for a suitable Jordan curve one can refer to Walsh (3) or to a recent paper by Curtiss (2). More recently, Curtiss (1) has considered the problem of interpolation by polynomials in non-equally spaced points on the unit circle and has pointed out the limitations inherent in the problem.
