\(q\)-Bernstein polynomials of the Cauchy kernel (Q2425981)

Let \(q>0\). For \(n=0,1,\dots\), the \(q\)-integer \([n]_q\) is defined by \([n]_q:=1+q+\dots+q^{n-1}\) if \(n\in\mathbb N\) and \([0]_q=0\). The \(q\)-factorial and \(q\)-binomials are given by \([n]_q!=[1]_q![2]_q!\dots [n]_q!\), \(n\in\mathbb N\), \([0]_q!=1\), and \(\left[\binom{n}{k}\right]_q:=\frac{[n]_q!}{[k]_q![n-k]_q!}\), \(0\leq k\leq n\). Let \(n\in\mathbb N\), \(p_{n,k}(q;z):=\left[\binom{n}{k}\right]_qz^k(z;q)_{n-k}\), \(0\leq k\leq n\), \((z;q)_0:=1\), \((z;q)_n:=\prod^{n-1}_{k=1}(1-zq^k)\), \((z;q)_{\infty}:=\prod^{\infty}_{k=1}(1-zq^k)\). If \(f:[0,1]\to\mathbb C\), then by definition \(B_{n,q}(f;z):=\sum^n_{k=0}f([k]_q/[n]_q)p_{n,k}(q;z)\). Typical results of the paper are Theorem 2.1. If \(q>1\) and \(f_a(z)=1/(z-a)\), \(a\in\mathbb C\setminus [0,1]\), then for any compact set \(K\subset\{z: | z| <| a| \}\) sequence \(B_{n,q}(f_a;z)\) converges uniformly to \(f_a(z)\) on \(K\). Theorem 2.6. (i) All roots of \(B_{n,q}(f_{-1};z)\) are outside of \(\{z:| z| \leq 1\}\). (ii) For \(x\in [0,1]\) inequality \(0\leq B_{n,q}(f_{-1};x)\leq 1\) is valid. (iii) The estimate \(| B_{n.q}(f_{-1};z)| \leq 2/| 1+z| \) holds for all \(| z| \leq 1\). Reviewer's remark: There is a misprint in (iii) of Theorem 2.6: \(x\) instead of \(z\) in the left-hand side of the inequality.
