The objective of this paper is to derive an intimate relationship among thr
ee important mathematical tools, namely: polynomial interpolation, Marcinki
ewicz-Zygmund inequalities, and A(p)-weights. In particular, it is shown th
at minimum separation of sample points on the unit circle together with cer
tain uniform A(p)-weights generated by these sample points constitute a nec
essary and sufficient condition for the validity of the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmu
nd inequality evaluated at these points, which in turn, is equivalent to th
e Jackson-type estimate, using the Popov-Andreev module of continuity, of p
olynomial interpolation, again at these Sample points. (C) 1999 Academic Pr
