From the Erdos-Turan theorem, it is known that if f is a continuous functio
n on T = {z : \z\ = 1} and L-n(f, z) denotes the unique Laurent polynomial
interpolating f at the (2 n + 1)th roots of unity, then

Several years later, Walsh and Sharma produced similar result but taking in
to consideration a function analytic in D = {z : \z\ < 1} and continuous on
bb D boolean OR T and making use of algebraic interpolating polynomials in
the roots of unity.
In this paper, the above results will be generalized in two directions. On
the one hand, more general rational functions than polynomials or Laurent p
olynomials will be used as interpolants and, on the other hand, the interpo
lation points will be zeros of certain para-orthogonal functions with respe
ct to a given measure on T.
