Popis: | Bernstein polynomials have nice mathematical properties and wide applications in various fields. An interesting property which is very useful in computer-aided design is preservation of convexity of functions. These polynomials have been extended in various forms according to different applications. One form considered in this paper is the family of Bernstein operators of max-product kind. These nonlinear operators have many interesting properties including preservation of quasiconvexity of functions, but do not preserve convexity of linear functions. In this paper we strengthen this observation for the linear functions. We show that for any continuous function with nonnegative values, the functions generated by Bernstein operators of max-product kind are not convex unless they are constant functions. |
