BernsteinBasis - Bernstein polynomials on an interval
Calling Sequence
BernsteinBasis(k, n, a, b, x)
Parameters
k
-
algebraic expression; the index
n
algebraic expression; the degree
a
algebraic expression; left end of interval
b
algebraic expression; right end of interval
x
algebraic expression; the argument
Description
BernsteinBasis(k,n,a,b,x) defines the kth Bernstein polynomial of degree n which is nonnegative on the interval [a,b]. The definition is
At present, this can only be evaluated in Maple by prior use of the object-oriented representation obtained by P:=convert(p,MatrixPolynomialObject,x) and subsequent call to P:-Value(<x-value>), which uses the de Casteljau algorithm to evaluate the polynomial p.
Examples
Note that the result returned by convert(...,MatrixPolynomialObject) represents a matrix polynomial; hence these results are 1 by 1 matrices.
