Abstract

Optimal polynomial approximant (OPA) weak Shanks conjecture hypergeometric function
<p>We derive formulas for the Fourier coefficients of |f |(2), where f(z(1), z(2))= (1-z(1), z(2)/r ), (-alpha ),alpha > 0, in terms of hypergeometric functions. Using these formulas we provide additional counterexamples to the weak Shanks conjecture, which was recently disproven by Beneteau, Khavinson and Seco [Constr. Approx. 62 (2025), pp. 645-661]. The obtained formulas allow for (numerical) optimization over the parameters alpha and r.</p>
