\(L_ p\)-approximation by Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovitch operators (Q1088091)

The Szász-Mirakjan operators are defined by \[ S_ n(f;x)=\sum^{\infty}_{k=0}f\frac{k}{n}\frac{e^{-nx}(nx)^ k}{k!} \] and the Kantorovitch variant is \[ S^*_ n(f;x)=\sum^{\infty}_{k=0}[n\int_{I_ k}f(t)dt]\frac{e^{- nx}(nx)^ k}{k!}, \] where \(I_ k=[k/n,k+1/n]\). It is shown that the sequence \(\{S^*_ n\}\) gives a linear approximation method on \(L^ p[0,\infty)\) \((1\leq p<\infty)\), and that the degree of approximation by this method satisfies \(\| f-S^*_ nf\| =O (W_ 1(f;n^{-})),\) where \(W_ 1(f;.)\) is the first order of modulus of continuity with respect to the \(L_ p\)-norm.
