Bernstein operators for extended Chebyshev systems (Q711319)

Let \(U_{n}\subset C^n[a,b]\) be an extended Cebyshev space of dimension \(n+1\). Suppose that \(f_0\in U_{n}\) is strictly positive and \(f_1 \in U_{n}\) is such that \(f_1/f_0\) is strictly increasing. The authors give the conditions ensuring the existence of points \(t_0,\dots, t_{n}\in [a,b]\) and positive coefficients \(\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_{n}\) such that for all \(f \in C[a,b]\), the operator \(B_{n}f=\sum_{k=0}^{nf}(t_{k})\alpha_{k}p_{n,k}\) satisfies \(B_{n}f_0=f_0\) and \(B_{n}f_1=f_1\), where \(p_{n,k}\) is a Bernstein basis.
