Positive Bernstein expansion conjecture for Bernoulli polynomial densities
Positive Bernstein expansion conjecture for Bernoulli polynomial densities
For each positive integer , let denote the factorially normalized Bernoulli polynomial of degree , and consider the polynomial probability density on . A Bernstein basis of degree consists of the polynomials for . Positive Bernstein expansion conjecture. For every positive integer , the density can be expanded in this Bernstein basis with positive coefficients. The conjecture concerns positivity of the Bernstein coefficients at degree , complementing the known positive-coefficient expansion in degree described earlier in the paper.
