On the eigenvectors of the q-Bernstein operators
Abstract
In this article, both the eigenvectors and the eigenvalues of the q-Bernstein operators have been studied. Explicit formulae are presented for the eigenvectors, whose limit behavior is determined both in the case 0 < q < 1 and in the case q > 1. Because the classical case, where q = 1, was investigated exhaustively by S. Cooper and S. Waldron back in 2000, the present article also discusses the related similarities and distinctions with the results in the classical case. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
