Approximation of functions by complex genuine Pólya-Durrmeyer operators (Q523612)

The main purpose of the paper is to estimate the order of approximation for Pólya-Durrmeyer approximations to an analytic function \(f\) on compact disks. This approximation for \(f\) has the form \[ D_n^{(1/n)}(f,z)=(n-1)\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}p_{n,k}^{(1/n)}(z)\int_0^1p_{n-2,k-1}(t)f(t)dt + p_{n,0}^{(1/n)}(z)f(0)+p_{n,n}^{(1/n)}(z)f(1), \] where \[ p_{n,k}^{(1/n)}(z)=\frac{2(n!)}{(2n)!}\binom{n}{k} (nz)_k(n-nz)_{n-k},~~ p_{n,k}(t)=\binom{n}{k}t^k(1-t)^{n-k}, \] with \((a)_n=a(a-1)\cdots(a-n+1)\). For real \(z\) this was considered in the previous paper [\textit{V. Gupta}, in: Mathematical analysis and its applications. Proceedings of the international conference on recent trends in mathematical analysis and its applications, ICRTMAA 2014, Roorkee, India, December 21--23, 2014. New Delhi: Springer. 121--129 (2015; Zbl 1337.41009)]. In the present paper, for \(1<r<R\) and for analytic functions \(f\) in \(|z|<R\), estimates of the form \[ |D_n^{(1/n)}(f,z)-f(z)|\leq \frac{C_r(f)}{n},\quad \text{for}\quad |z|\leq r, \eqno(1) \] are obtained, where \(C_r(f)\) is a constant depending on \(r\) and \(f\) that can be computed. Also a Voronovskaja-type result is proved which has the form \[ \left|D_n^{(1/n)}(f,z)-f(z)-\frac{1.5z(1-z)f''(z)}{n}\right|\leq \frac{Q_r(f)}{n^2},\quad \text{for}\quad |z|\leq r,\quad r\in\left[1,\frac{R}{\rho_0}-\rho\right), \] where \(\rho_0=(1+\sqrt{5})/2\), \(\rho>5\) and \(R>(\rho+1)\rho_0\). Under the same conditions the inequality in (1) can be inverted if \(f\) is not a polynomial of degree less than or equal to 1. This implies for example that if \(f\) is not constant, then \(\|D_n^{(1/n)}(f,\cdot)-f\|_r\sim 1/n\) as \(n\to\infty\).
