In this paper, we derive a matrix of transformation of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind into Bernstein polynomials and vice versa. We also study the stability of these linear maps and show that the Chebyshev–Bernstein basis conversion is remarkably well-conditioned, allowing one to combine the superior least-squares performance of Chebyshev polynomials with the geometrical insight of the Bernstein form. We also compare it to other basis transformations such as Bernstein-Hermite, power-Hermite, and Bernstein–Legendre basis transformations.

In this paper we derive the matrix of transformation of the Jacobi polynomial basis form into the Bernstein polynomial basis of the same degree n and vice versa. This enables us to combine the superior least-squares performance of the Jacobi polynomials with the geometrical insight of the Bernstein form. Application to the inversion of the Bezier curves is given.
