Approximation power of smooth bivariate pp functions (Q1821281): Difference between revisions

Bivariate piecewise polynomials in \(C^{\rho}\) of degree \(\leq k\) on some triangulation \(\Delta\) are shown to approximation to smooth functions to within \(| \Delta | ^{k+1}\) if \(k>3\rho +1\). The argument makes essential use of the Bernstein-Bézier polynomial form.
