Dual Bernstein polynomials find many applications in approximation theory, computational mathematics, numerical analysis and computer-aided geometric design. In this context, one of the main problems is fast and accurate evaluation both of these polynomials and their linear combinations. New simple recurrence relations of low order satisfied by dual Bernstein polynomials are given. In particular, a first-order non-homogeneous recurrence relation linking dual Bernstein and shifted Jacobi orthogonal polynomials has been obtained. When used properly, it allows to propose fast and numerically efficient algorithms for evaluating all n+1 dual Bernstein polynomials of degree n with O(n) computational complexity.
