On Landau-type approximation operators (Q2657262)

After presenting a history of Landau's operators, the authors propose a new generalization of them. A family of convolution type operators depending on a real parameter and acting on functions defined on the whole real axis is constructed. A remarkable property of these new operators is that they reproduce the affine functions, a feature less commonly encountered by integral type operators. In this context the authors give evaluations of the approximation error for bounded functions as well as for functions belonging to some weighted spaces. Also, quantitative Voronovskaya-type results are proved for both non-weighted and weighted cases.
