On the stability of polynomial transformations between Taylor, Bernstein and Hermite forms (Q676933)

Monomials, Bernstein, and Hermite polynomials of degree \(\leq n\) all form a basis of the vector space of polynomials of degree \(\leq n\). Hence, a transformation of a given polynomial from one form to another is a linear transformation; its reliability is determined by the condition number of that linear transformation. For transformations from polynomial to Bernstein form, the condition number has been determined by \textit{R. T. Farouki} [Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 8, No. 1, 29-36 (1991; Zbl 0725.65018)]; the condition number increases more than exponentially with \(n\), essentially of order \(n^n\). The author gives here the corresponding computations for transformations between power and Bernstein forms and Hermite forms, the condition numbers are worse than that for the Bernstein forms except for \(n\leq 5\).
