Markov's inequality at an endpoint #
This file proves markovEndpoint : MarkovEndpoint: a real polynomial p of degree at most D
with |p| ≤ 1 on [0,2] satisfies |p'(0)| ≤ D². This is the second assertion of Lemma 6.1 of
the paper. The paper proves the lemma directly, by interpolation at the points cos (k π / D);
here the assertion is deduced from Mathlib's extremal property of the Chebyshev polynomials
(Polynomial.Chebyshev.eval_iterate_derivative_le_of_forall_abs_le_one, with k = 1, x = 1),
applied to p.comp (1 - X) and to its negative.
