Shape preserving approximation by Bernstein-type operators which fix polynomials.
(English)
[J] Appl. Math. Comput. 182, No. 2, 1615-1622 (2006). ISSN 0096-3003

A family of sequences of linear Bernstein type operators $B_{n,a}: C[0,1]\to C[0,1]$, $a\in [0,+\infty)$, $n = 1,2,\dots,$ is studied. In the case $a = 0$, the sequence was recently introduced by {\it J. P. King} [Acta Math. Hung. 99, No.~3, 203--208 (2003; Zbl 1027.41028)]. If $a\to +\infty$, every $B_{n,a} f$ becomes $B_n f=\sum^n_{v=0} f(\frac vn){n\choose v}x^v(1-x)^{n-v}$, related to the classical Bernstein polynomials. The authors show some shape preserving and convergence properties they possess and make a comparison between the approximations of a function $f\in C[0,1]$ given by $B_{n,a}f$ and $B_nf$.
