On the \(q\)-Bernstein polynomials of the logarithmic function in the case \(q > 1\) (Q2811001)

In literature, approximation or convergence properties of the \(q\)-Bernstein polynomials \(B_{n,q}(f;x)\) of continuous functions were studied in detail, but the same cannot be said for the \(q\)-Bernstein polynomials of discontinuous and/or unbounded functions. In this context, the author studies the behavior of the \(q\)-Bernstein polynomials \(B_{n,q}(f;x)\) of unbounded functions \(f\in C(0,1]\) satisfying \(\lim_{x\rightarrow 0^{+}}\dfrac {f\left (x\right)}{\ln ^{m}x}=K\neq 0\), where \(m\in \mathbb N\). Let \(q>1\) be fixed and consider the time scale \(\mathbb J_q=\left \{0\right \} \cup \left \{q^{-j}\right \}_{j=0}^{\infty}\). It has been shown that the logarithmic function is approximated by its \(q\)-Bernstein polynomials on \(\mathbb J_q\), but not uniformly. In particular, the author has proved that \(\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}B_{n,q} \left (f;x\right) =f\left (x\right)\) for all \(x\in \mathbb J_q\) and \(\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}B_{n,q}\left (f;x\right) =\infty \) for all \(x\in \mathbb R\backslash \mathbb J_q\) for functions \(f\in C(0,1]\) satisfying \(\lim_{x\rightarrow 0^{+}}\dfrac {f\left (x\right)}{\ln ^{m}x}=K\neq 0\).
