Abstract

The inequality T_n(xy) ≤ T_n(x) T_n(y), x, y ≥ 1, where T_n(x) is the Tchebycheff polynomial of the first kind, can be proven very easily by use of one of the extremal properties of these polynomials. It also follows from ( d² du²) log T_n(e^u) ≤ 0, u ≥ 0. Various proofs are given for these inequalities and for generalizations to other classes of polynomials.
