Asymptotic properties of the Bernstein density copula for dependent data
No full textCopulas are extensively used for dependence modeling. In many cases the data does not reveal how the dependence can be modeled using a particular parametric copula. Nonparametric copulas do not share this problem since they are entirely data based. This paper proposes nonparametric estimation of the density copula for α-mixing data using Bernstein polynomials. We study the asymptotic properties of the Bernstein density copula, i.e., we provide the exact asymptotic bias and variance, we establish the uniform strong consistency and the asymptotic normality.nonparametric estimation, copula, Bernstein polynomial, α-mixing, asymptotic properties, boundary bias

Structured matrix methods for computations on Bernstein basis polynomials
No full textThis thesis considers structure preserving matrix methods for computations on Bernstein polynomials whose coefficients are corrupted by noise. The ill-posed operations of greatest common divisor computations and polynomial division are considered, and it is shown that structure preserving matrix methods yield excellent results.
With respect to greatest common divisor computations, the most difficult part is the computation of its degree, and several methods for its determination are presented.
These are based on the Sylvester resultant matrix, and it is shown that a new form of the Sylvester resultant matrix in the modified Bernstein basis yields the best results.
The B´ezout resultant matrix in the modified Bernstein basis is also considered, and it is shown that the results from it are inferior to those from the Sylvester resultant
matrix in the modified Bernstein basis

Applying the ideas of Bernstein in the context of in-company management education
No full textIdeas drawn from the sociology of education have had surprisingly little impact on debates on organizational learning. This article takes ideas drawn from the sociology of education and applies them to a subset of organizational learning, the rapidly growing in company management programmes supplied by higher education institutions. It is argued that such programmes are often populated by participants who traditionally might not have engaged in higher education, making the explanatory frameworks of Bourdieu and Bernstein (with their central focus on education and class) relevant. An application of the concepts of Bernstein points to a need to make the notion of `relevance' in education problematic and to reasons why some participants might find the realization of a competent performance difficult
A survey of results on the q-Bernstein polynomials
No full textIt is now nearly a century since S. N. Bernstein introduced his well-known polynomials. This paper is concerned with generalizations of the Bernstein polynomials, mainly with the so called q-Bernstein polynomials. These are due to the author of this paper and are based on the q integers. They reduce to the Bernstein polynomials when we put q = 1 and share the shape-preserving properties of the Bernstein polynomials when q is an element of (0, 1). This paper also describes another earlier generalization of the Bernstein polynomials, a sequence of rational functions that are also based on the q-integers, proposed by A. Lupas, and two even earlier generalizations due to D. D. Stancu. The present author summarizes various results, due to a number of authors, that are concerned with the q-Bernstein polynomials and with Stancu's two generalizations.</p
Deterministic Partially Dynamic Single Source Shortest Paths in Weighted Graphs
No full textIn this paper we consider the decremental single-source shortest paths (SSSP) problem, where given a graph G and a source node s the goal is to maintain shortest distances between s and all other nodes in G under a sequence of online adversarial edge deletions. In their seminal work, Even and Shiloach [JACM 1981] presented an exact solution to the problem in unweighted graphs with only O(mn) total update time over all edge deletions. Their classic algorithm was the state of the art for the decremental SSSP problem for three decades, even when approximate shortest paths are allowed.
The first improvement over the Even-Shiloach algorithm was given by Bernstein and Roditty [SODA 2011], who for the case of an unweighted and undirected graph presented a (1+epsilon)-approximate algorithm with constant query time and a total update time of O(n^{2+o(1)}). This work triggered a series of new results, culminating in a recent breakthrough of Henzinger, Krinninger and Nanongkai [FOCS 14], who presented a (1+epsilon)-approximate algorithm for undirected weighted graphs whose total update time is near linear: O(m^{1+o(1)} log(W)), where W is the ratio of the heaviest to the lightest edge weight in the graph. In this paper they posed as a major open problem the question of derandomizing their result.
Until very recently, all known improvements over the Even-Shiloach algorithm were randomized and required the assumption of a non-adaptive adversary. In STOC 2016, Bernstein and Chechik showed the first deterministic
algorithm to go beyond O(mn) total update time: the algorithm is also (1+\epsilon)-approximate, and has total update time \tilde{O}(n^2). In SODA 2017, the same authors presented an algorithm with total update time \tilde{O}(mn^{3/4}). However, both algorithms are restricted to undirected, unweighted graphs. We present the first deterministic algorithm for weighted undirected graphs to go beyond the O(mn) bound. The total update time is \tilde{O}(n^2 \log(W))
Bernstein Spaces on Siegel CR Manifolds
No full textIn this paper we introduce and study Bernstein spaces on a class of quadratic CR
manifolds, which we call Siegel CR manifolds. These are spaces of entire functions
of exponential type whose restrictions to a given Siegel CR submanifold are L p-
integrable with respect to a natural measure. For these spaces, among other results, we
prove the Plancherel–Pólya inequality, a Bernstein inequality and a sufficient condition
for a sequence to be sampling
