Degenerate Bernstein polynomials

From MaRDI portal





For \(f\epsilon\) C[0,1], the n-th Bernstein polynomial \(B_ n(f;x)\) is a polynomial of exact degree n, although degeneracies can occur in some cases. For example, if f itself is a polynomial of degree m, then \(B_ n(f;x)\) is also of degree m for \(n\geq m\) (although not equal to f(x) except in the case \(m=1)\). The result can be verified from an alternate form of \(B_ n(f;x).\) In the present note, the authors study a class of functions which has a sequence of degenerate Bernstein polynomials. Moreover, a surprising result on an equality for certain of these polynomials is established.
