Let f ∊ C[0, 1] and let the Bn(f, q; x) be generalized Bernstein polynomials based on the q-integers that were introduced by Phillips. We prove that if f is r-monotone, then Bn(f, q; x) is r-monotone, generalizing well-known results when q = 1 and the results when r = 1 and r = 2 by Goodman et al. We also prove a sufficient condition for a continuous function to be r-monotone.
