Let Bnf; x) denote the Bernstein polynomial of degree n on [0,1] for a function f(x) defined on this interval. Among the many properties of Bernstein polynomials, we recall in particular that if f(x) is convex in [0,1] then (i) Bn(f;x) is convex in [0,1] and (ii) Bn(f;x)≧Bn+1(f;x), (n = l,2,…). Recently these properties have been the subject of study for Bernstein polynomials over triangles [1].
