Abstract
The bivariate Bernstein-Schoenberg operatorV T of degreem, introduced in [5], is a spline approximation operator that generalizes the Bernstein polynomial operatorB m . It is shown here that for a convex functionf,f≤V T (f)≤B m (f). This result is then used to show that for a twice differentiable functiong, the asymptotic error limm(V T (g)-g) depends only on the asymptotic error for quadratic polynomials. The latter is evaluated explicitly in the special circumstances thatV T is, in a sense, asymptotically close toB m .
