Introduction Chandra 1 was first to extend Prössdorf’s 2 result to find the degree of approximation of a continuous function using the Nörlund transform. Later on, Mohapatra and Chandra 3 obtained a number of interesting results on the degree of approximation in the Hölder metric using matrix transforms, which generalize all the previous results based on Cesàro and Nörlund transforms. In 1992, Singh 4 introduced Hω -space in place of Hα -space and obtained several results on the degree of approximation of functions and deduced many previous results based on Hα -spaces. In 1996, Das et al. 5 used Hα,p -space in place of Hα -space and obtained degree of approximation of functions and generalized the results of Mohapatra and Chandra 3. In 2000, Mittal and Rhoades 6 also obtained the degree of approximation of functions in a normed space and generalized the results of Singh 4 by removing the hypothesis of monotonicity of the rows of the matrix. Singh and Soni 7, and Mittal et al. 8 used the technique of approximation of functions in measuring the errors in the input signals and the processed output signals. 2 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 2.

The product C, 1E, 1-transform is expressed as the C, 1-transform of E, 1transform of {sn } and is given by sequence-to-sequence transformation see, e.g., 9: tn s; t n 1 E1 . n 1 k0 k 2.8 The sequence {sn } is said to be summable C, 1E, 1 to the sum s, if Lim tn s; t s. n→∞ 2.9 T.

We will measure the error between the input signal st and the processed output signal tn s; t 1/n 1 nk1 Ek1 t, by establishing the following theorems. Theorem 4.1. Let ωt defined in 2.12 be such that π t t ωu du O Ht , 2 u Hudu O tHt , 4.1 Ht ≥ 0, as t −→ 0 , 4.2 0 then, for 0 ≤ β < η ≤ 1 and s ∈ Hω , we have tn s; t1 − s ω∗ O π n 1 H n1 −1 1−β/η . 4.3 Theorem 4.2.

Proof of Theorem 4.2. Follows analogously as the proof of Theorem 4.1 with slight changes, so we omit details. 8 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 7. Applications The following results can easily be derived from the Theorem 4.1. If we put ω∗ |t1 − t2 | ≤ K|t1 − t2 |β , ω|t1 − t2 | ≤ A|t1 − t2 |α and replace η by α and set ⎧ α−1 ⎪ 0<α<1 ⎨u , Hu 1 ⎪ ⎩log , α 1, u 7.1 then we get Corollary 7.1. Corollary 7.1. If s ∈ Hα , 0 ≤ β < α ≤ 1, then ⎧ β−α ⎪ 0<α<1 ⎪ ⎨On 1 , tn s; t1 − s 1−β β logn 1 ⎪ ⎪ , α 1. ⎩O n 1 7.2 If we put β 0, then from above corollary, we have Corollary 7.2. Corollary 7.2. If s ∈ Lip α, 0 < α ≤ 1, then ⎧ −α ⎪ 0<α<1 ⎨O n , tn s; t1 − s log n ⎪ ⎩O , α 1. n 7.3 Hence Theorem 3 is particular case of Theorem 4.1.
