Bernstein polynomial estimation provides a robust nonparametric technique for approximating both density and distribution functions. Based on the properties of Bernstein polynomials, which uniformly ...

Graph polynomials serve as robust algebraic encodings of the intricate combinatorial properties inherent to graphs. At the heart of this discipline lies the Tutte polynomial, an invariant that not ...
