On the Convergence of Kergin and Hakopian Interpolants at Leja Sequences for the Disk

We prove that Kergin interpolation polynomials and Hakopian interpolation polynomials at the points of a Leja sequence for the unit disk $D$ of a sufficiently smooth function $f$ in a neighbourhood of $D$ converge uniformly to $f$ on $D$. Moreover, when $f$ is $C^\infty$ on $D$, all the derivatives of the interpolation polynomials converge uniformly to the corresponding derivatives of $f$.
