A characterization of the approximation order for multivariate spline spaces
We prove a local saturation theorem in ordinary approximation for combinations of Durrmeyer's integral modification of Bernstein polynomials.
We apply pluripotential theory to establish results in concerning uniform approximation by functions of the form wⁿPₙ where w denotes a continuous nonnegative function and Pₙ is a polynomial of degree at most n. Then we use our work to show that on the intersection of compact sections a continuous function on Σ is uniformly approximable by θ-incomplete polynomials (for a fixed θ, 0 < θ < 1) iff f vanishes on θ²Σ. The class of sets Σ expressible as the intersection of compact sections includes...
