Some results regarding the Bernstein polynomials.
We take another approach to the well known theorem of Korovkin, in the following situation: X, Y are compact Hausdorff spaces, M is a unital subspace of the Banach space C(X) (respectively, ) of all complex-valued (resp., real-valued) continuous functions on X, S ⊂ M a complex (resp., real) function space on X, ϕₙ a sequence of unital linear contractions from M into C(Y) (resp., ), and a linear isometry from M into C(Y) (resp., ). We show, under the assumption that , where is the Choquet...
MSC 2010: 33C47, 42C05, 41A55, 65D30, 65D32In the first part of this survey paper we present a short account on some important properties of orthogonal polynomials on the real line, including computational methods for constructing coefficients in the fundamental three-term recurrence relation for orthogonal polynomials, and mention some basic facts on Gaussian quadrature rules. In the second part we discuss our Mathematica package Orthogonal Polynomials (see [2]) and show some applications to problems...
In this survey we show the close connection between the theory of Spline Functions and that of Total Positivity. In the last section we mention some recent results on totally positive bases which are optimal for shape preserving properties in Computer Aided Geometric Design.
