Abstract:
We prove that the polynomial of degree $n$ that deviates least from zero in the uniformly weighted metric with
Laguerre weight is the extremal polynomial in Markov's inequality for the norm of the $k$th derivative. Moreover, the corresponding sharp constant does not exceed
$$
\frac{8^kn!\,k!}{(n-k)!\,(2k)!}.
$$
For the derivative of a fixed order this bound is asymptotically sharp as $n\to\infty$.
