On a Sequence of Fast Decreasing Polynomial Operators

Let f be a piecewise analytic function on the unit interval (respectively, the unit circle of the complex plane). Starting from the Chebyshev (respectively, Fourier) coefficients of f, we construct a sequence of fast decreasing polynomials (respectively, trigonometric polynomials) which “detect” the points where f fails to be analytic, provided f is not infinitely differentiable at these points.
