Let \((X, d)\) be a compact metric space, and let \(C(X)\) be the Banach space of all real-valued continuous functions defined on \(X\) with the uniform norm \(\| f\| = \sup\{| f(x)|;\) \(x\in X\}\). Let \(\{L_n\}_{n\geq 1}\) be a sequence of positive linear operators on \(C(X)\), which preserve the constant functions. Define \(\alpha_n(x)=L_n(d(\;,x);x)\) and \(\beta_n = L_n(d^2( ,x);x)\) for all \(x\in X\) and \(n = 1,2,3,\cdots\). The authors prove the following Korovkin type results. (1) If \(\{\alpha_n\}_{n\geq 1}\) [resp. \(\{\beta_n\}_{n\geq 1}]\) converges uniformly to zero, then \(\{L_n(f)\}_{n\geq 1}\) converges uniformly to \(f\), for each \(f\in C(X)\). (2) If \(f\in\text{Lip}(X)\), with Lipschitz constant \(K\), then \(\| L_n(f) -f\|\leq K\|\beta_n\|^{1/2}\). (3) Let \(X\) be a compact convex subset of a real pre-Hilbert space \(H\) with inner product \(\langle x,t\rangle\). Define \(e(x) = \langle x,x\rangle =\| x\|^2\) and for each \(t\in H\) fixed, \(e_t(x) =\langle x,t\rangle\). Then, if both \(\{L_n(e;x)\}_{n\geq 1}\) and \(\{L_n(f)\}_{n\geq 1}\) converges to \(e(x)\), uniformly in \(x\in X\), then \(\{L_n(f)\}_{n\geq 1}\) converges uniformly to \(f\), for each \(f\in C(X)\). The authors apply these results to the study of Bernstein-Lototskij-Schnabl operators in the case when \(X\) is a compact convex subset of a real pre-Hilbert space \(H\).
