Pointwise results of weighted simultaneous approximation for Szász operators (Q5929668)

Let \(0\leq a<1\), \(b\geq 0\), \(w(x)=x^a (1+x)^{-b}\) and let \(S_n (f,x)=\sum^\infty_{k=0} f({k\over n})e^{-nx} {(nx)^k\over k!}\) denote the Szász(-Mirakyan) operators. The main result is the following characterization theorem: Let \(f^{(s)}\in C_{a,b}= \{f\in C[0,\infty): wf\in L_\infty [0, \infty) \}\), \(0\leq\lambda\leq 1\), \(\Phi(x)=\sqrt x\), \(\delta_n (x)=\Phi(x)+ {1\over \sqrt n}\). Then for \(s=1,2,\dots, s<\alpha <s+{2\over 2-\lambda}\), the following statements are equivalent: \[ w(x)\bigl|S_n^{(s)}(f,x)-f^{(s)} (x)\bigr|=O\biggl(\bigl(n^{-1/2} \delta_n^{1-\lambda}(x) \bigr)^{\alpha-s} \biggr) \] \[ (a)\quad \omega^2_{\Phi^\lambda} (f^{(s)},t)_w= O(t^{\alpha-s}), \qquad (b)\quad \omega(f^{(s)},t)_\omega=O(t^{(\alpha-s) (1-\lambda/2)}), \] and for \(s=0\), \(0<\alpha<2\), \[ \omega(x) \bigl|S_n(f,x) -f(x)\bigr|= O\biggl(\bigl( n^{-1/2}\delta_n^{1-\lambda}(x) \bigr)^\alpha \biggr) \Leftrightarrow \omega^2_{\Phi^\lambda} (f,t)_\omega=O(t^\alpha). \]
