1. It was proved by A. A. Markov [3] that if is a polynomial of degree at most n and |pn(x)| ≦ 1 in the interval –1 ≦ x ≦ 1, then in the same interval

(1)

The problem was proposed by the chemist Mendeleev who knew the answer for polynomials of degree 2. For a historical background of the problem see [1].

A. A. Markov's younger brother W. A. Markov considered the problem of determining exact bounds for the j–th derivative of pn(x) at a given point X0 in [ – 1, 1]. His results appeared in a Russian journal in the year 1892; a German version of his remarkable paper was later published in [4]. Amongst other things he proved the following two theorems.
