No label defined (Q4528301)

Let \(S\) be the simplex \(\{x\in \mathbb{R}^d:x_i\geq 0\), \(1\leq i \leq d\), \(1-|x|\geq 0\}\), where \(x=(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_d)\in \mathbb{R} ^d,\) \(|x|=\sum^d_{i=1} x_i\), \(x^k=x^{k_1} _1x _2^{k_2}\dots x^{k_d}_d\), \(k!=k_1 !k_2!\dots k_d!\). Let \(f\) be a function defined on the simplex \(S\). The Meyer-König and Zeller operators are defined by \[ M_{n,d}(f;x)=\sum^\infty_{k=O}f\bigl({k\over n+|k|}\bigr) m_{n,k} (x),\quad 1 -|x|>0, \] \(M_{n,d} (f; x) =f(x)\), \(1-|x|=0\), \(m_{n,k}(x)=\binom{n+|k|} {k}x^k (1-x)^{n+1}\), where \[ \binom {n+|k|} {k}={(n+|k|)!\over k! n!} ={(n+k_1+k_2+\cdots +k_d)!\over k_1!k_2!\cdots k_d!n!}. \] For \(x\in S\), we define \(\varphi_i(x)=\phi_{ii}(x)\Doteq \sqrt{x _i}(1-|x|)\), \(1\leq i\leq d\); \(\varphi_{ij} (x)\Doteq\sqrt{x_ix _j(1-|x|)}\), \(1\leq i<j\leq d\); \(D_i=D_{ii}\Doteq \partial/ \partial x_i\), \(1\leq i\leq d\); \(D_{ij}f\Doteq D_if-D_jf\), \(1\leq i<j\leq d\). Using the above definition the author introduces a new kind of modulus and \(K\)-functionals and gives an equivalence theorem. Then the author gives direct and converse approximation theorems for \(M_{n,d}(f;x)\) on the simplex. Finally, an operator approximation characterization theorem is given.
