3. Barycentric approximation to solve the conjecture

    1.     The motivation to use barycentric approximation comes from Pearcy’s proof showing that $W(A)\subset \mathbb{D}$ implies that $W(A^{k})\subset \mathbb{D}$ for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$ (1965).

      Add remark

      Problem 3.1.

      [N. Trefethen] Try barycentric approximation for more general $W(A)$ in order to show that $W(f(A))\subset \frac{5}{4}\mathbb{D}$ for $\|f\|_{\infty,W(A)}=1$.
        1. Remark. [T. Ransford] T. Ransford has done this in the case of $W(A)\subset \mathbb{D}$ and Blaschke products $f$.
