Abstract

Recently, linear positive operators of Bernstein–Schoenberg type, relative to B-splines bases, have been considered. The properties of these operators are derived mainly from the total positivity of normalized B-spline bases.

In this paper we shall construct a generalization of the operator considered in [15] by means of normalized totally positive bases generated by a particular class of totally positive scaling functions. Next, we shall study its approximation properties. Our results can be established also for more general sequences of normalized totally positive bases.
