Approximation by Baskakov quasi-interpolants

Abstract

Baskakov operators and their inverses can be expressed as linear differential operators on polynomials. Recurrence relations are given for the computation of these coefficients. They allow the construction of the associated Baskakov quasi-interpolants (abbr. QIs). Then asymptotic results are provided for the determination of the convergence orders of these new quasi-interpolants. Finally some results on the computation of these QIs and the numerical approximation of functions defined on the positive real half-line are illustrated by some numerical examples.
