Extremal and optimal properties of B-bases Collocation Matrices

Abstract

Totally positive matrices are related with the shape preserving representations of a space of functions. The normalized B-basis of the space has optimal shape preserving properties. B-splines and rational Bernstein bases are examples of normalized B-bases. Some results on the optimal conditioning and on extremal properties of the minimal eigenvalue and singular value of the collocation matrices of normalized B-bases are proved. Numerical examples confirm the theoretical results and answer related questions.
