Approximation by Max-Product Type Operators

This monograph presents a broad treatment of developments in an area of constructive approximation involving the so-called "max-product" type operators. The exposition highlights the max-product operators as those which allow one to obtain, in many cases,

Preface

In this research monograph, we bring to light an interesting new direction in constructive approximation of functions by operators. There are at least two natural justifications for these new operators, termed by us as max-product operators (for reasons we will see below). They are based on possibility theory, a mathematical theory dealing with certain types of uncertainties and which is considered as an alternative to probability theory. The first justification is based on the interpretations of the max-product Bernstein operator as a possibilistic expectation of a particular fuzzy variable having a possibilistic Bernoulli distribution and on a Chebyshev-type inequality in the theory of possibility, facts which are in a perfect analogy with the probabilistic approach of Bernstein for the convergence of the classical Bernstein polynomials. The second justification is based on the Feller scheme in terms of the possibilistic integral, which again is in perfect analogy w
