[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00075.] The author uses the Lipschitz-type maximal functions to obtain sharp local error estimates for the Baskakov operators and their Kantorovič modification. The two main sections are devoted to local approximation up to the maximal local order \(n^{_ 1/2}\) and to local approximation up to the saturation order \(n^{-1}\). To reach the saturation order it is necessary to consider the generalized maximal functions and the estimates become very delicate. This is a substantial paper on approximation of functions in \(L_{\text{loc}}[0,\infty)\) by Bernstein-Baskakov-Kantorovič operators and Lipschitz-type maximal functions. It contains an impressive chain of estimates and clever constructions. Unfortunately, the technical nature of the results do not permit a full statement in this review of the main theorem.
