Lidstone polynomials and boundary value problems

Abstract We define Lidstone polynomials, provide their explicit representations, give their relations with Bernoulli polynomials, obtain best possible error estimates in Lidstone interpolation, and establish several best possible/sharp inequalities which compare favourably with the known results. Next, we use these results to study even order differential equations together with Lidstone boundary conditions.
