Baskakov operators Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness

Approximation by positive operators (41A36)

The authors consider linear combinations \[ B_n(f,r,x)=\sum^{r-1}_{i=0} a_i(n)V_{n_i}(f,x),\;n\in\mathbb{N},\;r\geq 2,\;x\in[0,\infty) \] of Baskakov operators, where \(n_i\) and \(a_i(n)\) satisfy the usual conditions in the book of Ditzian and Totik. Applying a method developped by Ditzian, Jiang and Leviatan in several papers they prove pointwise direct and converse theorems for the approximation of bounded functions \(f\in C[0,\infty)\) through the sequence \(B_n(f,r,\cdot)\) on \([0,\infty)\) in terms of the (global) \(r\)-th order Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness with step-weight \(\varphi^\lambda\), \(\varphi (x)=\sqrt {x(1+x)}\), \(\lambda\in [0,1]\). In this way the authors obtain especially for \(\lambda=0\) and \(\lambda=1\) respectively interesting local and global characterization results in terms of the classical \(r\)-th order modulus of smoothness \(w^r(f,\cdot)\) and the \(r\)-th order Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness \(w^r_\varphi (f,\cdot)\) with step-weight \(\varphi\).
