Recently, Z. Ditzian gave an interesting direct estimate for Bernstein polynomials. In this paper we give direct and inverse results of this type for linear combinations of Bernstein polynomials.

The Bernstein-Bézier representation of polynomials is a very useful tool in computer aided geometric design. In this paper we make use of (multilinear) tensors to describe and manipulate multivariate polynomials in their Bernstein-Bézier form. As application we consider Hermite interpolation with polynomials and splines.

We show that the classical Bernstein polynomials BN (f)(x) on the interval [0, 1] (and their higher dimensional generalizations on the simplex Σm ⊂ R) may be expressed in terms of Bergman kernels for the Fubini-Study metric on CP: BN (f)(x) is obtained by applying the Toeplitz operator f(N−1Dθ) to the Fubini-Study Bergman kernels. The expression generalizes immediately to any toric Kähler varie...

In this paper we discuss a natural way to deene barycentric coordinates on general sphere-like surfaces. This leads to a theory of Bernstein-B ezier polynomials which parallels the familiar planar case. Our constructions are based on a study of homogeneous polynomials on trihedra in IR 3. The special case of Bernstein-B ezier polynomials on a sphere is considered in detail.

the objective of this paper is applying the well-known exact operational matrices (eoms) idea for solving the emden-fowler equations, illustrating the superiority of eoms over ordinary operational matrices (ooms). up to now, a few studies have been conducted on eoms ; but the solved differential equations did not have high-degree nonlinearity and the reported results could not strongly show the...

Bernstein polynomials on a simplex V are considered. The expansion of a given polynomial p into these polynomials provides bounds for the range of p over V . Bounds for the range of a rational function over V can easily obtained from the Bernstein expansions of the numerator and denominator polynomials of this function. In this paper it is shown that these bounds converge monotonically and line...

This paper uses the symmetry properties of circles and Bernstein polynomials to establish a series of interesting barycentric properties of rational biquadratic Bézier patches. A robust algorithm is presented, based on these properties, for the conversion of Dupin cyclide patches into Bézier form. A set of conversion examples illustrates the use of this algorithm.
