Bernstein measures on convex polytopes

چکیده
We define the notion of Bernstein measures and Bernstein approximations over general convex polytopes. This generalizes well-known Bernstein polynomials which are used to prove the Weierstrass approximation theorem on one dimensional intervals. We discuss some properties of Bernstein measures and approximations, and prove an asymptotic expansion of the Bernstein approximations for smooth functions which is a generalization of the asymptotic expansion of the Bernstein polynomials on the standard m-simplex obtained by Abel-Ivan and Hörmander. These are different from the Bergman-Bernstein approximations over Delzant polytopes recently introduced by Zelditch. We discuss relations between Bernstein approximations defined in this paper and Zelditch’s Bergman-Bernstein approximations.

Isometry-Invariant Valuations on Hyperbolic Space
Hyperbolic area is characterized as the unique continuous isometry invariant simple valuation on convex polygons in H. We then show that continuous isometry invariant simple valuations on polytopes in H for n ≥ 1 are determined uniquely by their values at ideal simplices. The proofs exploit a connection between valuation theory in hyperbolic space and an analogous theory on the Euclidean sphere...
متن کاملComputation of certain measures of proximity between convex polytopes: a complexity viewpoint
Four problems of proximity between two convex polytopes in R' are considered. The convex polytopes are represented as convex hulls of finite sets of points. Let the total number of points in the two finite sets be n. W e show that three of the proximity problems, viz., checking intersection, checking whether the polytopes are just touching and finding the distance between them, can be solved in...
متن کاملOptimum Quantization and Its Applications
Minimum sums of moments or, equivalently, distorsion of optimum quantizers play an important role in several branches of mathematics. Fejes Tóth’s inequality for sums of moments in the plane and Zador’s asymptotic formula for minimum distortion in Euclidean d-space are the first precise pertinent results in dimension d ≥ 2. In this article these results are generalized in the form of asymptotic...
متن کاملPiecewise Polynomial Functions, Convex Polytopes and Enumerative Geometry
0. Introduction. This paper explores some of the connections between the objects of its title. It is based on a new approach to McMullen’s polytope algebra, and on its relation with equivariant cohomology of toric varieties. In particular, we give another proof of a recent result of Fulton and Sturmfels, which identifies the polytope algebra with the direct limit of all Chow rings of smooth, co...
متن کاملMean Value Bézier Maps
Bernstein polynomials are a classical tool in Computer Aided Design to create smooth maps with a high degree of local control. They are used for the construction of Bézier surfaces, free-form deformations, and many other applications. However, classical Bernstein polynomials are only defined for simplices and parallelepipeds. These can in general not directly capture the shape of arbitrary obje...
