Abstract:
We prove an identity for multivariate Bernstein polynomials on simplices, which may be considered a pointwise orthogonality relation. Its integrated version provides a new representation for the polynomial dual basis of Bernstein polynomials. An identity for the reproducing kernel is used to define quasi-interpolants of arbitrary order.
