Asymptotic properties of Kantorovich-type Szász-Mirakjan operators of higher order (Q6112833)

The authors study local approximation properties of the higher order Kantorovich-type Szasz-Mirakjan operators recently introduced in [\textit{P. Sabancigil} et al., J. Inequal. Appl. 2022, Paper No. 91, 15 p. (2022; Zbl 1506.41014)]. The first two sections contain a very useful presentation of related operators and a survey of their properties. A generalization of the sequence considered by P. Sabancigil, M. Kara and N. I. Mahmudov is introduced and the complete asymptotic expansion for it is derived. The corresponding coefficients are given in an explicit form and Stirling numbers of the second kind play an important role in describing their structure. As a special case the authors obtain the complete asymptotic expansion for the classical Szasz-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators. Several examples, remarks and corollaries illustrate the main result.
