Progressive iterative Schoenberg-Marsden variation diminishing operator and related quadratures

In this paper we propose an approximation method based on the classical Schoenberg-Marsden variation diminishing operator with applications to the construction of new quadrature rules. We compare the new operator with the multilevel one studied in [12] in order to characterize both of them with respect to the well known classical one. We discuss convergence properties and present numerical experiments.
