ABSTRACT. It is shown that the m-th order derivative of the n-th order Bernstein polynomial of a function f satisfying a certain Lipschitz condition, can be written for n diverging to infinity as a singular integral of Gauss-Weierstrass type, m times differentiated (in a certain sense) under the integral sign. The theorem is applied to yield a formula involving p times differentiated Bernstein polynomials of functions that are not p times continuously differentiable.
