Extending the results from the univariate case in a paper by Gal and Szabad
os, in this paper, we prove that the bivariate interpolation operators of H
ermite-Fejer preserve some kinds of monotonicity and convexity of bivariate
functions, in the neighborhoods of some points. Also, quantitative results
are proved, i.e., estimates of the magnitudes for these neighborhoods are
obtained. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
