Extension of Bernstein polynomials to infinite dimensional case (Q2497233)

The purpose of this paper is to study some new concrete approximation processes for continuous vector-valued mappings defined on the infinite dimensional cube or on a subset of a real Hilbert space. In both cases these operators are modelled on classical Bernstein polynomials and represent a possible extension to an infinite dimensional setting. The form of the operator is \[ L^1_n(F)(t)=\sum_{h_1=0,\dots, h_n=0}^n F \biggl(\frac{h_1}{n},\dots , \frac{h_n}{n}, 0, \dots \biggr) {n \choose h_1}t_1^{h_1}(1-t_1)^{n-h_1}\dots {n \choose h_n}t_n^{h_n}(1-t_n)^{n-h_n}. \] The same idea is generalized to obtain from a given approximation process for functions defined on a real interval a new approximation process for vector-valued mappings defined on subsets of a real Hilbert space.
