Blending-type approximation by generalized Lupaş-type operators (Q2419443)

The authors study a modification of Lupaş operators in the form \[ G_n^a(f;x)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\,U_{n,k}(x,a)f\left(\frac{k}{n}\right),\ a\geq 0,\ x\geq 0, \] with \[ V_{k,n}^{a}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^k\binom{k}{i}\frac{a^{k-i}(nx)_i}{(2x)^i},\ U_{n,k}(x,a)=\frac{e^{-ax}}{2^{nx}}V_{k,n}^{a}(x)x^k. \] The operator \(G_n^a\) reproduces constant functions as \(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\,U_{n,k}(x,a)=1\). The authors were inspired by the work of \textit{O. Agratini} [Facta Univ., Ser. Math. Inf. 14, 41--48 (1999; Zbl 0999.41014)]. For \(a=0\), their operator reduces to that introduced by Agratini, which reproduces constant \textit{and} linear functions. After a short introduction and a section with auxiliary results, they state their main results in \S3, introducing \[ C_{\gamma}[0,\infty)=\{f\in C[0,\infty)\,:\,|f(t)|\leq Ce^{\gamma t},\text{ some }C>0,t\in [0,\infty)\}, \] \(\tilde{C}_B[0,\infty)\)\,:\, the set of real-valued, bounded and uniformly continuous functions on \([0,\infty)\), the modulus of continuity \(\omega(f,\delta)\) and the second-order modulus of continuity \(\omega_2(f,\delta)\). These results are stated in 7 theorems: 3.1 Convergence of \(G_n^{ a}(f;x)\) to \(f(x)\), uniformly in each compact subset \([c,d]\) of \([0,\infty)\) for \(f\in C_{\gamma}[0,\infty)\). 3.2 If \(f''\) exists at a point \(x\in [0,\infty)\) \[ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\,n(G_n^a(f;x)-f(x))=axf'(x)+x\left(1+\frac{ax}{2}\right)f''(x). \] \textbf{3.3} For \(f\in\tilde{C}_B[0,\infty)\) \[ |G_n^a(f;x)-f(x)|\leq 5\omega(f,\sqrt{\mathcal{V}_n^a(x)})+\frac{13}{2}\omega_2(f,\sqrt{\mathcal{V}_n^a(x)}), \] where \(\mathcal{V}_n^a(x)=G_n^a((t-x)^2;x).\) 3.4 For \(f\in\text{Lip}_M^{(\mu_1,\mu_2)}(\alpha)\) \[ |G_n^a(f;x)-f(x)|\leq M\left(\frac{\mathcal{V}_n^a(x)}{\mu_1 x^2+\mu_2 x}\right)^{\alpha/2}. \] For the other results, the reader is referred to the paper. 3.5 and 3.6: weighted approximation, 3.7: approximation on a DBV-space on \([0,\infty)\).
