Iterates of Markov operators

In this paper we consider iterates of Markov operators of the form where the _j's are linearly independent, nonnegative and sum to 1. We define the evaluation matrix of Φ to be Φ^* = [_j(i/m)] and prove that the iterates of the operator converge in the operator norm if and only if the powers of the evaluation matrix converge. Utilizing results from the theory of Markov chains we obtain explicit expressions for the limiting operator when it exists. Finally, we apply these results to Bernstein operators and then to B-spline operators.     

Iterates of a product of conditional expectation operators

Let (Ω,F,μ) be a probability space and let T=P₁P₂?Pd be a finite product of conditional expectations with respect to the sub σ-algebras F₁,F₂,…,Fd. We show that for every f∈Lp(μ), 1<p?2, the sequence {Tnf} converges μ-a.e., with

     

Optimality of generalized Bernstein operators

We show that a certain optimality property of the classical Bernstein operator also holds, when suitably reinterpreted, for generalized Bernstein operators on extended Chebyshev systems.

Bernstein components via the Bernstein center

Let G be a reductive p-adic group. Let \(\Phi \) be an invariant distribution on G lying in the Bernstein center \({\mathcal {Z}}(G)\). We prove that \(\Phi \) is supported on compact elements in G if and only if it defines a constant function on every component of the set \({\text {Irr}}(G)\); in particular, we show that the space of all elements of \({\mathcal {Z}}(G)\) supported on compact elements is a subalgebra of \({\mathcal {Z}}(G)\). Our proof is a slight modification of the argument from Section 2 of Dat (J Reine Angew Math 554:69–103, 2003), where our result is proved in one direction.     

Pointwise weighted approximation by Bernstein operators

We consider the pointwise weighted approximation by Bernstein operators. The related weight functions are Jacobi weights . We obtain approximation equivalence theorems, using a weighted modulus of smoothness , which is an extension of~[5].

Bernstein operators for extended Chebyshev systems

Let U_n ⊂ Cⁿ[a, b] be an extended Chebyshev space of dimension n + 1. Suppose that f₀ ∈ U_n is strictly positive and f₁ ∈ U_n has the property that f₁/f₀ is strictly increasing. We search for conditions ensuring the existence of points t₀, …, t_n ∈ [a, b] and positive coefficients α₀, …, α_n such that for all f ∈ C[a, b], the operator B_n:C[a, b] → U_n defined by satisfies B_nf₀ = f₀ and B_nf₁ = f₁. 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.     

On an extremal relation of Bernstein operators

In this note we present a new characterization of Bernstein operators by showing that they are the only solution of a certain extremal relation.     

A family of univariate rational Bernstein operators

We define and study a new family of univariate rational Bernstein operators. They are positive operators exact on linear polynomials. Moreover, like classical polynomial Bernstein operators, they enjoy the traditional shape preserving properties and they are total variation diminishing. Finally, for a specific class of denominators, some convergence results are proved, in particular a Voronovskaja theorem, and some error bounds are given.     

Derivatives of multidimensional Bernstein operators and smoothness

We characterize the directional derivatives of multidimensional Bernstein operators by a new measure of smoothness. This task is carried out by means of establishing the relation between the asymptotic behavior of the derivatives and the smoothness of the functions they approximate. The obtained results generalize the corresponding ones for univariate Bernstein operators.     

Kernels of Toeplitz operators,smooth functions,and Bernstein type inequalities

Let ϕ be a unimodular function on the unit circle and let K_p(ϕ) denote the kernel of the Toeplitz operator T_ϕ in the Hardy space H^p, p≥1; . Suppose K_p(ϕ)≠{0}. The problem is to find out how the smoothness of the symbol ϕ influences the boundary smoothness of functions in K_p(ϕ). One of the main results is as follows. Theorem 1 Let 1<p, q<+∞, 1<r≤+∞, q⁻¹=p⁻¹+r⁻¹. Suppose |ϕ|≡1 on and ϕ∈W _r ¹ (i.e., ). Then K_p(ϕ)⊂W _q ¹ . Moreover, for any f∈K_p(ϕ) we have ‖f′‖_q≤c(p, r)‖ϕ′‖_r ‖f‖. Bibliography: 19 titles.

The complete asymptotic expansion for Bernstein operators

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the classical Bernstein operators, applied to q-times continuously differentiable functions. Our main results extend the results of S.N. Bernstein and R.G. Mamedov for all q-odd natural numbers and thus generalize the theorem of E.V. Voronovskaja. The exact degree of approximation is also proved.
