On the L1-condition number of the univariate Bernstein basis

We show that the size of the 1-norm condition number of the univariate Bernstein basis for polynomials of degree n is O (2n/ √n). This is consistent with known estimates [3], [5] for p = 2 and p = ∞ and leads to asymptotically correct results for the p-norm condition number of the Bernstein basis for any p with 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞.
