Bernstein operators for exponential polynomials

Abstract: Let

L

be a linear differential operator with constant coefficients of order

n

and complex eigenvalues

l a m b d a_{0}, ..., l a m b d a_{n}

. Assume that the set

U_{n}

of all solutions of the equation

L f = 0

is closed under complex conjugation. If the length of the interval

[a, b]

is smaller than

p i / M_{n}

, where

M_{n} := m a x l e f t | e x t I m % l a m b d a_{j} | : j = 0, ..., n i g h t

, then there exists a basis

p_{n, k}

%,

k = 0, ... n

, of the space

U_{n}

with the property that each

p_{n, k}

has a zero of order

k

at

a

and a zero of order

n - k

at

b,

and each

% p_{n, k}

is positive on the open interval

(a, b) .

Under the additional assumption that

l a m b d a_{0}

and

l a m b d a_{1}

are real and distinct, our first main result states that there exist points

% a = t_{0} < t_{1} < ... < t_{n} = b

and positive numbers

a l p h a_{0}, .., a l p h a_{n}

%, such that the operator �egin{equation*} B_{n}f:=sum_{k=0}^{n}alpha_{k}f(t_{k}) p_{n,k}(x) end{equation*} satisfies

B_{n} e^{l a m b d a_{j} x} = e^{l a m b d a_{j} x}

, for

j = 0, 1.

The second main result gives a sufficient condition guaranteeing the uniform convergence of

B_{n} f

to

f

for each

f i n C [a, b]

.

Let \(L\) be a linear differential operator with constant coefficients of order \(n\) and complex eigenvalues \(\lambda _0,\lambda _1, \cdots ,\lambda _n \). Assume that the set \(U_n\) of all solutions of the equation \(Lf=0\) is closed under complex conjugation. A system of functions \(p_{n,k}\in U_n,\;k=0,\cdots,n\) is called a Bernstein-like basis for \(a\neq b\in \mathbb{R} \), if each function \(p_{n,k}\) has a zero of order \(k\) at \(a\) and a zero of order \(n-k\) at \(b\). The Bernstein type operators \(B_nf:=\sum _{k=0}^n\alpha _kf(t_k)p_{n,k}(x)\) are considered. It is proved that if \(\lambda _0\) and \(\lambda _1\) are real and distinct, then there exist points \(a=t_0<t_1<\cdots <t_n=b \) and positive numbers \(\alpha _0,\cdots ,\alpha _n \), such that \(B_ne^{\lambda _jx}=e^{\lambda _jx}\), for \(j=0,1.\) The second main result gives a sufficient condition guaranteeing the uniform convergence of \(B_nf\) to \(f\) for each \(f\in C[a,b].\)
