Convexity and Bernstein polynomials onk-simploids

Convexity and Bernstein polynomials onk-simploids This paper is concerned with Bernstein polynomials onk-simploids by which we mean a cross product ofk lower dimensional simplices. Specifically, we show that if the Bernstein polynomials of a given functionf on ak-simploid form a decreasing sequence thenf +l, wherel is any corresponding tensor product of affine functions, achieves its maximum on the boundary of thek-simploid. This extends recent results in [1] for bivariate Bernstein polynomials on triangles. Unlike the approach used in [1] our approach is based on semigroup techniques and the maximum principle for second order elliptic operators. Furthermore, we derive analogous results for cube spline surfaces. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Mathematicae Applicatae Sinica Springer Journals

Abstract

This paper is concerned with Bernstein polynomials onk-simploids by which we mean a cross product ofk lower dimensional simplices. Specifically, we show that if the Bernstein polynomials of a given functionf on ak-simploid form a decreasing sequence thenf +l, wherel is any corresponding tensor product of affine functions, achieves its maximum on the boundary of thek-simploid. This extends recent results in [1] for bivariate Bernstein polynomials on triangles. Unlike the approach used in [1] our approach is based on semigroup techniques and the maximum principle for second order elliptic operators. Furthermore, we derive analogous results for cube spline surfaces.
