On simultaneous approximation by modified Lupas operators (Q1078449)

A ''modified Lupas operator'' is defined, for functions integrable in \([0,+\infty)\), in the following way: \[ (M_ nf)(x)=(n- 1)\sum^{\infty}_{k=0}P_{n,k}(x)\int^{\infty}_{0}P_{n,k}(y)\quad f(y)dy, \] where \[ P_{n,k}(t)={n+k-1\choose k}t^ k/(1+t)^{n+k}. \] Two general theorems, concerning the approximation of functions with these operators, are given. If we set \(A_ r=M_ n^{(r)}f(x)-f^{(r)}(x),\) then we can say that the first theorem deals with \(\lim_{n\to \infty}| A_ r|\), when f has a derivative of \((r+2)th\) order; the second one gives an estimate of \(\| A_ r\|\) in terms of the modulus of continuity of \(f^{(r)}\).
