On \(q\)-Baskakov-Mastroianni operators (Q444693)

A general class of positive linear operators was defined by V. A. Baskakov and investigated by G. Mastroianni: see, e.g., Sections 5.2 and 5.3 in the monograph by \textit{F. Altomare} and \textit{M. Campiti} [Korovkin-type approximation theory and its applications. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter (1994; Zbl 0924.41001)]. In this paper a \(q\)-analogue of this class is investigated. The authors define and study a new \(q\)-analogue of Stirling numbers and give explicit formulae for all moments of the new operators, based on \(q\)-integers. The rate of convergence is established in different function spaces. As particular cases, the \(q\)-analogues of some classical sequences are indicated.
