Elena E. Berdysheva (University of Hohenheim): Multivariate Bernstein-Durrmeyer Operators with Arbitrary Weight Functions



Abstract: We introduce a class of Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators with respect to an arbitrary measure $\rho$ on the $d$-dimensional simplex, and a class of more general polynomial integral operators with a kernel function involving the Bernstein basis polynomials. These operators generalize the well-known Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators with respect to Jacobi weights. We investigate properties of the new operators. In particular, we study the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space and show that the Bernstein basis functions are orthogonal in the corresponding scalar product. We discuss spectral properties of the operators. We make first steps in understanding convergence of the operators. Joint work with Kurt Jetter.
