Certain results involving gammaoperators (Q4699402)

In an earlier paper by the authors, a special linear combination of gamma operators in \(L_p\)-spaces was considered. This combination has a much better degree of approximation than gamma operators themselves. The proof of some approximation properties (direct and converse results and an equivalence theorem) requires informations about the moments of gamma operators and the derivatives of the kernel. In the presented paper, the authors show that a systematic and general investigation of the moments of gamma operators and the higher derivatives of its kernel leads to Laguerre polynomials and to a sequence \((\varphi_k)\) of polynomials with degree \([{k\over 2}]\). The paper is finished by a computational algorithm for a sequence of linear combinations of gamma operators. These new operators are not positive, but composed of positive operators.
