Asymptotic behaviour of Jain operators (Q261855)

Let \(C\) represents the continuous functions on \([0, \infty)\) that have polynomial growth. In [J. Aust. Math. Soc. 13, 271--276 (1972; Zbl 0232.41003)] \textit{G. C. Jain} defined a sequence of positive, constant preserving, operators, \(J_n\), on \(C\). The operators were constructed using a probability distribution. Many published variations and applications of these operators are chronicled in the introduction. This work constructs an expansion, \(A_n\) for \(J_n \) that does not depend on probability distributions and for which \(\lim_{n \to \infty}[(J_nf)(x) - (A_nf)(x)] = 0\) for all \(x\).
