Let \(f\in C[0,1]\), \(B_n(f, x)\) be the Bernstein polynomials, the modulus of smoothness \[ \omega^{2r}_\eta(f, t):= \sup_{0< h\leq t} \sup_{0\leq x\leq 1}|\Delta^{2r}_{h\eta}(x) f(x)|, \] where \[ \Delta^{2r}_t f(x)= \begin{cases} \sum^{2r}_{k= 0}(- 1)^k{2r\choose k} f(x+ (r- k)t),\quad & rt\leq x\leq 1-rt,\\ 0\quad &\text{otherwise }x.\end{cases} \] Linear combinations of the Bernstein operators \(B_{n,r}(f,x)\overset{\text{def}}= \sum^{r-1}_{i= 0} c_i(n) B_{n_i}(f,x)\) have higher rate of convergence than \(B_n(f, x)\), here \(n_i\) and \(c_i(n)\) satisfy (a) \(n= n_0<\cdots< n_{r-1}\leq K\), \(n\) (\(K_1\) is depending on \(n\)), (b) \(\sum^{r-1}_{i= 0}|c_i(n)|\leq K_2\) (\(K_2\) is depending on \(n\)), (c) \(\sum^{r-1}_{i= 0} c_i(n)= 1\), (d) \(\sum^{r-1}_{i=0} c_i(n) n^{-\rho}_i= 0\), \(\rho= 1,2,\dots, r-1\). In this article, the authors give pointwise direct and inverse theorems on \(B_{n,r}(f, x)\) and generalize two results. Main result is Theorem 1.1: For \(0\leq\alpha\leq \beta\), \(0<\beta< 2r\), \(\varphi(x)= (x(1- x))^{1/2}\) and \(f\in C[0,1]\), following conditions are equivalent: (a) \(\varphi^{-\alpha/r}(x)|B_{n,r}(f, x)- f(x)|= O(n^{-\beta/2})\), (b) \(\varphi^{-\alpha/r}(x)|\Delta^{2r}_t f(x)|= O\left({1\over \varphi(x)}\right)^\beta\), \(0< x< 1\), (c) \(\omega^{2r}_{\varphi^{1-\alpha/\beta r}}(f, t)= O(t^\beta)\). If \(r=1\), Theorem 1.1 is the result of Ditzian, if \(\alpha= 0\) Theorem 1.1 is another result of Ditzian.
