On the approximation of bounded functions with discontinuities of the first kind by generalized Shepard operators (Q1977424): Difference between revisions

Thanks to properties useful in approximation theory, in fitting data, curves and surfaces, CAGD and fluid dynamics, the generalized Balázs-Shepard operators have been recently the object of intensive investigations. The authors study the approximation of bounded functions with discontinuities of the first kind by these operators. Estimates for the rate of convengence at a continuity point are obtained, while at the points of discontinuity it is shown that the sequence of generalized Balázs-Shepard operators is almost always divergent. It is also shown that the sequence of Cesáro means of these operators is convergent everywhere for bounded functions which have only discontinuities of the first kind in \([0,1]\).
