In 1889, A. A. Markov proved the following inequality:

INEQUALITY 1. (Markov [4]). If pn is any algebraic polynomial of degree at most n then

where ‖ ‖A denotes the supremum norm on A.

In 1912, S. N. Bernstein established

INEQUALITY 2. (Bernstein [2]). If pn is any algebraic polynomial of degree at most n then

for x ∈ (a, b).

In this paper we extend these inequalities to sets of the form [a, b] ∪ [c, d]. Let Πn denote the set of algebraic polynomials with real coefficients of degree at most n.

THEOREM 1. Let a < b ≦ c < d and let pn ∈ Πn. Then

for x ∈ (a, b).
