Novel Bernstein‐Kantorovich Type Operators

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a novel class of Bernstein‐Kantorovich operators, denoted as Kβn,θ$$ {K}_{\beta}^{n,\theta } $$, parameterized by 0<β<1$$ 0<\beta <1 $$ and θ>0$$ \theta >0 $$. We first derive a recurrence formula that facilitates the computation of moments and central moments and provide explicit expressions for Kβn,θ(tm;x)$$ {K}_{\

On the Approximation Properties of Modified Bernstein–Kantorovich Operators and Their Subfamilies

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motivated by the construction of Bernstein–Kantorovich operators preserving affine functions, we introduce a Bernstein–Kantorovich type operators 𝒯n,m together with its subfamilies 𝒯∗n,m, 𝒯∗n,2m−1 and 𝒯∗n,2m. We investigate and compare their approximation properties with the other Bernstein–Kantorovich operators. Our analysis demonstrates that,

Globalizing Comparative Public Administration With Integrative Contextualization: State Autonomy in the Developmental Path of Hong Kong and Singapore

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of a common variable for comparison has been a major obstacle to the development of Comparative Public Administration (CPA). State autonomy enables an integrative contextualization approach, allowing both the analysis of contextual individual country experiences and the generation of generalized comparable knowledge.

Rewilding's technological experiments: Virtual reality and scalable narratives of rewilding in the Scottish highlands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.

Enhancing Drone Light Shows Performances: Optimal Allocation and Trajectories for Swarm Drone Formations

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drone light shows (DLShows) represent a rapidly growing application of swarm robotics, creating captivating aerial displays through the synchronized flight of hundreds or thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as environmentally friendly and reusable alternatives to traditional pyrotechnics.

ON THE RATE OF CONVERGENCE OF THE BERNSTEIN-BEZIER OPERATOR

open access: yes, 1995
We study approximation of bounded variation functions by Bernstein-Bezier Operators B-n((alpha)). By means of probabilistic methods, we get an estimate giving optimal rate of convergence, improving the result of Fuhua Cheng [3] for Bernstein Operator B ...

On the composite Bernstein type quadrature formula

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2010
Considering a given function \(f\in C[0,1]\), the interval \([0,1]\) is divided in \(m\) equally spaced subintervals \(\left[\tfrac{k-1}{m},\tfrac{k}{m}\right]\), \(k=\overline{1,m}\).

Evaluating the Role of Higher Education Institutions in Fostering Environmental Awareness, Behaviour and Sustainable Development

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study provides a critical evaluation of the role of Libyan Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as catalysts for environmental awareness and sustainable development. Employing a robust dual theoretical framework grounded in neo‐institutional and environmental education theories, it presents a large‐scale empirical analysis based on a ...
