In 1955, Suranyi and P. Turán [8] considered the problem of existence and uniqueness of interpolatory polynomials of degree ≤ 2n-1 when their values and second derivatives are prescribed on n given nodes. Around this kind of interpolation - aptly termed (0, 2) interpolation - considerable literature has grown up since then. For more complete bibliography on this subject we refer 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 of the 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.
