Erdős problem 671

For triangular arrays of nodes ain∈[−1,1]a_i^n\in[-1,1] let Lnf\mathcal{L}^nf be the Lagrange interpolation polynomials of a continuous ff, with fundamental polynomials pinp_i^n. Is there a choice of nodes such that for every continuous ff there is some xx where lim sup⁡n∑i∣pin(x)∣=∞\limsup_n \sum_i\lvert p_{i}^n(x)\rvert=\infty and yet Lnf(x)→f(x)\mathcal{L}^nf(x) \to f(x)? Is there a choice with lim sup⁡n∑i∣pin(x)∣=∞\limsup_n \sum_i\lvert p_{i}^n(x)\rvert=\infty for every xx, yet for every continuous ff some xx has Lnf(x)→f(x)\mathcal{L}^nf(x)\to f(x)? Both questions are claimed resolved in the affirmative.
