On Conic Equations Under Bernstein Operators

Abstract

One of the most important problems in approximation theory in mathematical analysis is the determination of sequences of polynomials that converge to functions and have the same geometric properties. This type of approximation is called the shape-preserving approximation. These types of problems are usually handled depending on the convexity of the functions, the degree of smoothness depending on the order of differentiability, or whether it satisfies a functional equation. The problem addressed in this paper belongs to the third class. A quadratic bivariate algebraic equation denotes geometrically some well-known shapes such as circles, ellipses, hyperbolas and parabolas. Such equations are known as conic equations. In this study, it is investigated whether conic equations transform into a conic equation under bivariate Bernstein polynomials, and if so, which conic equation it transforms into.
