Effective H^{\infty} interpolation constrained by Hardy and Bergman weighted norms

TL;DR

This paper investigates the problem of interpolating holomorphic functions constrained by Hardy and Bergman weighted norms, providing sharp bounds for the interpolation constant in various function spaces with applications in matrix analysis and operator theory.

Contribution

It introduces new bounds for the Hardy-Hilbert and Bergman weighted spaces, extending classical interpolation results to broader contexts with sharp estimates.

Findings

Established sharp upper bounds for the interpolation constant in Hilbert spaces.

Derived bounds for Hardy-Sobolev and weighted Bergman spaces, with some gaps in the estimates.

Connected interpolation constants to classical problems like Nevanlinna-Pick and Carleson's free interpolation.

Abstract

Given a finite set $\sigma$ of the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and a holomorphic function $f$ in $\mathbb{D}$ which belongs to a class $X$ we are looking for a function $g$ in another class $Y$ which minimizes the norm $|g|_{Y}$ among all functions $g$ such that $g_{|\sigma}=f_{|\sigma}$. Generally speaking, the interpolation constant considered is $c(\sigma,\, X,\, Y)={sup}{}_{f\in X,\,\parallel f\parallel_{X}\leq1}{inf}\{|g|_{Y}:\, g_{|\sigma}=f_{|\sigma}\} \,.$ When $Y=H^{\infty}$, our interpolation problem includes those of Nevanlinna-Pick (1916), Caratheodory-Schur (1908). Moreover, Carleson's free interpolation (1958) has also an interpretation in terms of our constant $c(\sigma,\, X,\, H^{\infty})$.} If $X$ is a Hilbert space belonging to the scale of Hardy and Bergman weighted spaces, we show that $c(\sigma,\, X,\, H^{\infty})\leq a\phi_{X}(1-\frac{1-r}{n})$ where $n=#\sigma$, $r={max}{}_{\lambda\in\sigma}|\lambda|$ and where $\phi_{X}(t)$ stands for the norm of the evaluation functional $f\mapsto f(t)$ on the space $X$. The upper bound is sharp over sets $\sigma$ with given $n$ and $r$.} If $X$ is a general Hardy-Sobolev space or a general weighted Bergman space (not necessarily of Hilbert type), we also found upper and lower bounds for $c(\sigma,\, X,\, H^{\infty})$ (sometimes for special sets $\sigma$) but with some gaps between these bounds.} This constrained interpolation is motivated by some applications in matrix analysis and in operator theory.}
