Abstract:

Motivated by recent work on optimal approximation by polynomials in the unit disk, we consider the following noncommutative approximation problem: for a polynomial $f$ in $d$ freely noncommuting arguments, find a free polynomial $p_n$, of degree at most $n$, to minimize $c_n ≔\|p_nf-1\|^2$. (Here the norm is the $\ell ^2$ norm on coefficients.) We show that $c_n\to 0$ if and only if $f$ is nonsingular in a certain nc domain (the row ball), and prove quantitative bounds. As an application, we obtain a new proof of the characterization of polynomials cyclic for the $d$-shift.
