In 1955, Suranyi and P. Turán [8] considered the problem of existence anduniqueness of interpolatory polynomials of degree ≤ 2n-1 when their valuesand second derivatives are prescribed on n given nodes. Around this kind ofinterpolation - aptly termed (0, 2) interpolation - considerable literaturehas grown up since then. For more complete bibliography on this subject werefer to J. Balazs [3], Later we considered [10] the problem of modified (0,2) interpolation when 2 the abscissas are the zeros of (1-x2) Tn(x), where Tn(x) is the Tchebycheff polynomial ofthe first kind (Tn(x) = cos n θ, x = cos θ).
I take this opportunity to express my thanks to Professor P. Turán (Budapest) and to Professor A. Sharma (Edmonton) for helpful suggestions as the paper progressed.
