General Mathematics Vol. 18, No. 3 (2010), 73–81 On the composite Bernstein type cubature formula 1 Dan Bărbosu, Dan Miclăuş Abstract Considering a given function f ∈ C([0, 1] × [0, 1]), the bivariate interval [0, 1] × [0, 1] is divided in mn equally spaced bivariate subintervals k−1 k j−1 j m , m × n , n , k = 1, m, j = 1, n. On each such type of subintervals the Bernstein bivariate approximation formula is applied and a corresponding Bernstein type cubature formula is obtained. Making the sum of mentioned cubature formulas, the composite Bernstein type cubature formula is obtained. The coefficients of above formula are determined and an upper-bound for its remainder term is given. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65D32, 41A10 Key words and phrases: Bernstein bivariate operator, Bernstein bivariate approximation formula, Bernstein quadrature formula, Bernstein cubature formula, Bivariate divided difference, Remainder term 1 Preliminaries Let us to denote N = {1, 2, ...} and N0 = N ∪ {0}. The Bernstein bivariate operator Bm,n : C([0, 1] × [0, 1]) → C([0, 1] × [0, 1]) is defined for any f ∈ C([0, 1]×[0, 1]), any (x, y) ∈ [0, 1]×[0, 1] and any m, n ∈ N, by m X n X k j (1) (Bm,n f )(x, y) = , , pm,k (x)pn,j (y)f m n k=0 j=0 1 Received 24 April, 2009 Accepted for publication (in revised form) 18 May, 2010 73 74 D. Bărbosu, D. Miclăuş where (2) and (3) m k pm,k (x) = x (1 − x)m−k k n j y (1 − y)n−j pn,j (y) = j are the fundamental Bernstein’s polynomials. The polynomial (1) is called the Bernstein bivariate polynomial. Let f ∈ C([0, 1] × [0, 1]) be given. The following equality (4) f (x, y) = (Bm,n f ) (x, y) + (Rm,n f ) (x, y) is known as the Bernstein bivariate approximation formula, where Rm,n is the remainder operator associated to the Bernstein bivariate operator B m,n , i.e. Rm,n f is the remainder term of the bivariate approximation formula (4). Regarding the remainder term of (4), D. Bărbosu and O. T. Pop [7] established the following: Theorem 1 For any f ∈ C([0, 1] × [0, 1]) and any (x, y) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, 1], the remainder term of (4) can be expressed under the form (5) # " m−1 n k k+1 , m x, m x(1 − x) X X (Rm,n f )(x, y) =− ;f pm−1,k (x)pn,j (y) j m k=0 j=0 m # " m n−1 k y(1 − y) X X m − ;f pm,k (x)pn−1,j (y) j j+1 n , y, k=0 j=0 n n # " m−1 n−1 k k+1 x, m , m xy(1 − x)(1 − y) X X + ;f . pm−1,k (x)pn−1,j (y) mn y, j , j+1 k=0 j=0 k n In (5) the brackets denote the bivariate divided differences. Theorem 2 ([7]) Let be p, q ∈ N0 , a ≤ x0 < x1 < ... < xp ≤ b, c ≤ y0 < y1 < ... < yq ≤ d and the function f : [a, b] × [c, d] → R be given. If f ∈ ∂ p+q f C (p−1,q−1) ([a, b]×[c, d]) and there exists ∂x p ∂y q on ]a, b[×]c, d[ then, there exists (ξ, η) ∈]a, b[×]c, d[ such that " # 1 ∂ p+q f x0 , x1 , . . . , xp (6) ;f = (ξ, η). p!q! ∂xp ∂y q y0 , y1 , . . . , yq On the composite Bernstein type cubature formula 75 Theorem 3 ([7]) Let f : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → R be a function with the properties 4f ∂2f ∂2f that f ∈ C([0, 1] × [0, 1]), there exists ∂x∂2 ∂y 2 on ]0, 1[×]0, 1[ and ∂x2 , ∂y 2 , ∂4f ∂x2 ∂y 2 are bounded on ]0, 1[×]0, 1[.

(x,y)∈]0,1[×]0,1[ |(Rm,n f )(x, y)| ≤ Integrating the Bernstein bivariate approximation formula (4) one arrives to the following Bernstein’s cubature formula [6]: (9) Z1 Z1 0 f (x, y)dxdy = m X n X i=0 j=0 0 Ai,j f i j , m n + Rm,n [f ], where (10) Ai,j = 1 , i = 0, m, j = 0, n (m + 1)(n + 1) and 1 1 1 M1 [f ] + M2 [f ] + M3 [f ], 12m 12n 144mn where M1 [f ], M2 [f ] and M3 [f ] were defined at (8). The focus of the present paper is to construct the composite Bernstein type cubature formula. For this aim, the bivariate interval [0, 1] ×h[0, 1] will i be k−1 k j−1 j divided in mn equally spaced bivariate subintervals m , m × n , n , k = h j−1 j i k 1, m, j = 1, n. On each such type of subintervals k−1 , m m × n , n , the Bernstein’s cubature formula (9) will be applied. Next, adding the mentioned cubature formulas, the composite Bernstein cubature formula on [0, 1] × [0, 1] will be obtained. (11) |Rm,n [f ]| ≤ 76 2 D. Bărbosu, D. Miclăuş Main results We start by the simple results contained in the following two lemmas. Lemma 1 Suppose that a, b, c, d ∈ R, a < b and c < d, f ∈ C([a, b] × [c, d]). Then, the bivariate Bernstein polynomial associated to the function f is defined by n m X X 1 m n (12) (Bm,n f )(x, y) = (x − a)k (b − x)m−k k (b − a)m (d − c)n j k=0 j=0 d−c b−a j n−j ,c + j . · (y − c) (d − y) f a + k m n Proof. The parametric extensions [5] of the Bernstein’s univariate operator [8] are defined by n m X X m n 1 x (13) (Bm f )(x, y) = (x − a)k (b − x)m−k m n j k (b − a) (d − c) k=0 j=0 b−a j n−j · (y − c) (d − y) f a + k ,y , m respectively (14) (Bny f )(x, y) m X n X 1 m n = (x − a)k (b − x)m−k m n (b − a) (d − c) k j k=0 j=0 d−c j n−j . · (y − c) (d − y) f x, c + j n Their tensorial product [9] is the bivariate Bernstein operator (12). Lemma 2 Suppose that a, b, c, d ∈ R, a < b, c < d and let f : [a, b]×[c, d] → R 4f be a function with the properties that f ∈ C 2,2 ([a, b]×[c, d]), there exists ∂x∂2 ∂y 2 2 2 4 f on ]a, b[×]c, d[ and ∂∂xf2 , ∂∂yf2 , ∂x∂2 ∂y 2 are bounded on ]a, b[×]c, d[. Then, the remainder term of the Bernstein bivariate approximation formula on [a, b] × [c, d] verifies the following inequality (15) |(Rm,n f )(x, y)| ≤ (y − c)(d − y) 0 (x − a)(b − x) 0 M1 [f ] + M2 [f ] 2m(b − a)2 2n(d − c)2 (x − a)(b − x)(y − c)(d − y) 0 M3 [f ], + 4mn(b − a)2 (d − c)2 On the composite Bernstein type cubature formula 77 for any (x, y) ∈]a, b[×]c, d[ and any m, n ∈ N, where 2 ∂ f = sup ∂x2 (x, y) , (x,y)∈]a,b[×]c,d[ 2 ∂ f 0 M2 [f ] = sup ∂y 2 (x, y) , (x,y)∈]a,b[×]c,d[ 4 ∂ f 0 .

In what follows, let us to consider the bivariate interval [0, 1]×[0, 1] divided k−1 k h j−1 j i in the mn equally spaced bivariate subintervals m , m × n , n , k = 1, m, h j−1 j i k , j = 1, n. In each interval k−1 m m × n , n one considers the distinct knots jq−q+l xh = kp−p+h mp , h = 0, p, respectively yl = nq , l = 0, q. Applying Lemma 1 yields the following Bernstein type bivariate polynomial (17) p X q X p q p−h k−1 h k (Bp,k,q,j f )(x, y) = m n −x x− m m h l h=0 l=0 q−l j−1 l j kp − p + h jq − q + l . −y , · y− f n n mp nq p q The following Bernstein type bivariate approximation formula (18) f (x, y) = (Bp,k,q,j f )(x, y) + (Rp,k,q,j f )(x, y) holds, on any interval k−1 m C 2,2 ([0, 1] h j−1 j i k ,m × n , n , k = 1, m, j = 1, n.

Proof. The inequality (23) follows by integrating the Bernstein type bivariate approximation formula (18) and taking the inequality (19) into account.
