Local approximation results for Szász-Mirakjan type operators (Q2480696)

The authors investigate the local approximation properties of a Szász-Mirakjan type operator defined by \[ D^*_n(f; x)= e^{-nu^*_n(x)} \sum^\infty_{k=0} f\Biggl({k\over n}\Biggr) {(nu^*_n(x))^k\over k!}, \] where \(u^*_n(x)= {-1+ \sqrt{1+ 4n^2 x^2}\over 2n}\), \(x\in [0,+\infty)\) and \(f\in C[0,\infty)\) such that \(\lim_{x\to\infty} {f(x)\over 1+ x^2}< +\infty\). The rate of convergence is obtained by the second modulus of smoothness and the corresponding \(K\)-functional.
