Weighted approximation of functions on the real line by Bernstein polynomials (Q596829)

The authors define Bernstein-type approximation operators on the real line and show that they approximate functions that are continuous on \(R\), and such that \newline \(\lim_{| x| \to\infty}w(x)f(x)=0\), where \(w\) is a Freud weight on \(R\). The authors obtain an estimate on the degree of approximation by means of a natural second modulus of smoothness of \(f\) with respect to the weight \(w\). Also, they prove a Voronovskaya-type result, a strong converse theorem, and describe the saturation class. The results are interesting and the proofs are original and non-trivial.
