Estimates are obtained for the Lebesgue constants associated with the Gauss quadra- ture points on (i1, +1) augmented by the point i1 and with the Radau quadrature points on either (i1, +1) or (i1, +1). It is shown that the Lebesgue constants are O( p N), where N is the number of quadrature points. These point sets arise in the estimation of the residual associated with recently developed orthogonal collocation schemes for optimal control problems. For problems with smooth solutions, the estimates for the Lebesgue constants can imply an exponential decay of the residual in the collocated problem as a function of the number of quadrature points. tablished for these schemes. The analysis is based on a bound for the inverse of a linearized operator associated with the discretized problem, and an estimate for the residual one gets when substituting the solution to the continuous problem into the discretized problem. This paper focuses on the estimation of the residual. We show that the residual in the sup-norm is bounded by the sup-norm distance between the derivative of the solution to the continuous problem and the derivative of the inter- polant of the solution. By Markov's inequality (18), this distance can be bounded in terms of the Lebesgue constant for the point set and the error in best polynomial approximation. A classic result of Jackson (17) gives an estimate for the error in best approximation. The Lebesgue constant that we need to analyze corresponds to the roots of a Jacobi polynomial on (−1, +1) augmented by either ? = +1 or ? = −1. The effects of the added endpoints were analyzed by Vertesi in (24). For either the Gauss quadrature points on (−1, +1) augmented by ? = +1 or the Radau quadrature points on (−1, +1) or on (−1, +1), the bound given in (24, Thm. 2.1) for the Lebesgue constants is O(log(N) √ N), where N is the number of quadrature points. We sharpen this bound to O( √ N). To motivate the relevance of the Lebesgue constant to collocation methods, let us consider the scalar first-order differential equation u
