The accurate solution of some of the main problems in numerical linear algebra (linear system solving, eigenvalue computation, singular value computation and the least squares problem) for a totally positive Bernstein–Vandermonde matrix is considered. Bernstein–Vandermonde matrices are a generalization of Vandermonde matrices arising when considering for the space of the algebraic polynomials o...

We introduce here a generalization of the modified Bernstein polynomials for Jacobi weights using the q-Bernstein basis proposed by G.M. Phillips to generalize classical Bernstein Polynomials. The function is evaluated at points which are in geometric progression in ]0, 1[. Numerous properties of the modified Bernstein Polynomials are extended to their q-analogues: simultaneous approximation, p...

The purpose of this paper is to establish Lp error estimates, a Bernstein inequality, and inverse theorems for approximation by a space comprising spherical basis functions located at scattered sites on the unit n-sphere. In particular, the Bernstein inequality estimates Lp Bessel-potential Sobolev norms of functions in this space in terms of the minimal separation and the Lp norm of the functi...

In this article, a formulation of a point-collocation method in which the unknown function is approximated using global expansion in tensor product Bernstein polynomial basis is presented. Bernstein polynomials used in this study are defined over general interval [a, b]. Method incorporates several ideas that enable higher numerical efficiency compared to Bernstein polynomial methods that have ...

In this paper we propose using planar and spherical Bernstein polynomials over triangular domain for radiative transfer computations. In the planar domain, we propose using piecewise Bernstein basis functions and symmetric Gaussian quadrature formulas over triangular elements for high quality radiosity solution. In the spherical domain, we propose using piecewise Bernstein basis functions over ...

We show that the size of the 1-norm condition number of the univariate Bernstein basis for polynomials of degree n is O(2n/ √ n). This is consistent with known estimates [3], [5] for p = 2 and p = ∞ and leads to asymptotically correct results for the p-norm condition number of the Bernstein basis for any p with 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞.
