Asymptotic convergence of degree-raising (Q1968626): Difference between revisions

Let \(g\) be a polynomial of degree \(n\) and let \(A_n(g)\) be the polynomial of degree \(\leq n\) interpolating the degree \(n\) control points of \(g\) determined by the Bernstein-Bézier coefficients of \(g\). In this paper the authors study some results associated with \(A_n(g)\). They show that all the derivatives of \(A_n(g)\) converge uniformly to the corresponding derivatives of \(g\) at the same rate \(1/n\). They give also a refined convergence analysis of degree-raising by deriving an asymptotic expansion of Voronovskaya type. Some shape preserving properties of \(A_n(g)\) are discussed as well.
