Generalized Kantorovich Operators on Bauer Simplices and Their Limit Semigroups

In this paper, we prove an asymptotic formula for generalized Kantorovich operators associated with the canonical Markov projection on a given Bauer simplex K. That formula involves an operator acting on the subalgebra of all products of ane functions on K. Moreover, we prove that such an operator is closable and its closure is the generator of a Markov semigroup which, in turn, may be represented in terms of iterates of the above-mentioned generalized Kantorovich operators.
