The Bernstein polynomial is a crucial concept in approximation theory and mathematical analysis, particularly in the context of polynomial interpolation and approximation of continuous functions. The Bernstein polynomials are defined to approximate a continuous function on a closed interval [0, 1] by a weighted sum of polynomials.

For f∈C([0,1]d), its tensor-product Bernstein polynomial is the expectation of f(X1​/n,…,Xd​/n) for independent binomial variables Xj​∼Bin(n,xj​). Uniform continuity and concentration of the binomial variables prove uniform convergence to f.
