We study some approximation properties of Lagrange interpolation polynomial based on the zeros of (1 − x 2 ) cos n arccos x. By using a decomposition for f (x) ∈ C r C r+1 we obtain an estimate of f (x)−L n+2(f, x) which reflects the influence of the position of the x's and ω(f (r+1) , δ)j, j = 0, 1, · · · , s, on the error of approximation.Key words Lagrange interpolation polynomial, zeros of (1 − x 2 ) cos n arccos x, piecewise smooth functions, error of approximation
