On a geometric approach to the estimation of interpolation projectors by Mikhail V. Nevskii, Alexey Y. Ukhalov

“…Here $\sigma S$ is the result of homothety of $S$ with respect to the center of gravity with coefficient $\sigma$. Let $d\geqslant n+1,$ $\varphi_1(x),\ldots,\varphi_d(x)$ be linearly independent monomials in $n$ variables, and $\varphi_1(x)\equiv 1,$ $\varphi_2(x)=x_1,\ \ldots, \varphi_{n+1}(x)=x_n.$ Put $\Pi:=$lin$(\varphi_1,\ldots,\varphi_d).$ The interpolation projector $P: C(\Omega)\to \Pi$ with a set of nodes $x^{(1)},\ldots, x^{(d)} \in \Omega$ is defined by equalities $Pf\left(x^{(j)}\right)=f\left(x^{(j)}\right).$ Denote by $\|P\|_{\Omega}$ the norm of $P$ as an operator from $C(\Omega)$ to $C(\Omega)$ . …”
