Bernstein operators for extended Chebyshev systems

Abstract: Let

U_{n} s u b s e t C^{n} [a, b]

be an extended Chebyshev space of dimension

n + 1

. Suppose that

f_{0} i n U_{n}

is strictly positive and

% f_{1} i n U_{n}

has the property that

f_{1} / f_{0}

is strictly increasing. We search for conditions ensuring the existence of points

% t_{0}, ..., t_{n} i n [a, b]

and positive coefficients

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

such that for all

f i n C [a, b]

, the operator

B_{n} : C [a, b] o U_{n}

defined by

% B_{n} f = s u m_{k = 0}^{n} f (t_{k}) a l p h a_{k} p_{n, k}

satisfies

% B_{n} f_{0} = f_{0}

and

B_{n} f_{1} = f_{1} .

Here it is assumed that

% p_{n, k}, k = 0, ..., n

, is a Bernstein basis, defined by the property that each

% p_{n, k}

has a zero of order

k

at

a

and a zero of order

n - k

at

b .
