Let $L$ be a linear differential operator with constant coefficients of order $n$ and complex eigenvalues $\lambda_{0},...,\lambda_{n}$. Assume that the set $U_{n}$ of all solutions of the equation $Lf=0$ is closed under complex…

We prove various theorems on approximation using polynomials with integer coefficients in the Bernstein basis of any given order. In the extreme, we draw the coefficients from $\{ \pm 1\}$ only. A basic case of our results states that for…

Let ${\mathcal P}_k$ denote the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $k$ with real coefficients. Let ${\mathcal P}_{n,k}$ be the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $n+k$ having exactly $n+1$ zeros at $0$. Let…

Let $f$ be a non-zero polynomial with complex coefficients and define $M_n(f)=\int_0^1f(x)^n\,dx$. We use ideas of Duistermaat and van der Kallen to prove $\limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|M_n(f)|^{1/n}>0$. In particular, $M_n(f)\ne 0$ for…

Let $\sigma>0$. For $1\le p\le \infty$, the Bernstein space $B^p_{\sigma}$ is a Banach space of all $f\in L^p(R)$ such that $f$ is bandlimited to $\sigma$; that is, the distributional Fourier transform of $f$ is supported in $[-\sigma,…

In this paper we introduce a new family of Bernstein-type exponential polynomials on the hypercube $[0, 1]^d$ and study their approximation properties. Such operators fix a multidimensional version of the exponential function and its…

It is be shown that the sequence of Bernstein polynomials for a function of several variables converges to this function uniformly along with every partial derivative of any order, provided that the latter derivative is well defined and…

In this paper we characterize real bivariate polynomials which have a small range over large Cartesian products. We show that for every constant-degree bivariate real polynomial $f$, either $|f(A,B)|=\Omega(n^{4/3})$, for every pair of…

It does not seem to have been observed previously that the classical Bernstein polynomials $B_N(f)(x)$ are closely related to the Bergman-Szego kernels $\Pi_N$ for the Fubini-Study metric on $\CP^1$: $B_N(f)(x)$ is the Berezin symbol of the…

Bernstein's theorem (also called Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem) enables the integral representation of a completely monotonic function. We introduce a finite completely monotonic function, which is a completely monotonic function…

The Bernstein approximation problem is to determine whether or not the space of all polynomials is dense in a given weighted $C_0$-space on the real line. A theorem of L. de Branges characterizes non--density by existence of an entire…

Given $n\geq1$ and $r\in[0, 1),$ we consider the set $\mathcal{R}_{n, r}$ of rational functions having at most $n$ poles all outside of $\frac{1}{r}\mathbb{D},$ were $\mathbb{D}$ is the unit disc of the complex plane. We give an…

If $f(x,y)$ is a real function satisfying $y>0$ and $\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(x+ry,ny)=f(x,y)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, we say that $f(x,y)$ is an invariant function. Many special functions including Bernoulli polynomials, Gamma function and Hurwitz…

We obtain strong converse inequalities for the Bernstein polynomials with explicit asymptotic constants. We give different estimation procedures in the central and non-central regions of [0,1]. The main ingredients in our approach are the…

Consider an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}$, a positive integer $k$ and a compact $\mathcal{K}\subset \Omega$ of cardinality strictly greater than $k$. We prove that, for any function $f$ which is holomorphic in $\overline…

This paper presents a stochastic approach to theorems concerning the behavior of iterations of the Bernstein operator $B_n$ taking a continuous function $f \in C[0,1]$ to a degree-$n$ polynomial when the number of iterations $k$ tends to…

We consider the pointwise weighted approximation by Bernstein operators with inner singularities. The related weight functions are weights $\bar{w}(x)=|x-\xi|^\alpha(0<\xi<1,\ \alpha>0).$ In this paper we give direct and inverse results of…

In this survey, we use (more or less) elementary means to establish the well-known result that for any given smooth multivariate function, the respective multivariate Bernstein polynomials converge to that function in all derivatives on…

We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…

Bernstein polynomials provide a constructive proof for the Weierstrass approximation theorem, which states that every continuous function on a closed bounded interval can be uniformly approximated by polynomials with arbitrary accuracy.…
