Description

Offers an examination of the multivariate approximation case Special focus on the Bernstein operators, including applications, and on two new classes of Bernstein-type operators Many general estimates, leaving room for future applications (e.g. the B-spline case) Extensions to approximation operators acting on spaces of vector functions Historical perspective in the form of previous significant results
