In this paper we consider the notion of AI 2 -statistical convergence for real double sequences which is an extension of the notion of AI -statistical convergence for real single sequences introduced by Savas, Das and Dutta. We primarily apply this new notion to prove a Korovkin type approximation theorem. In the last section, we study the rate of AI 2 -statistical convergence. 1. Introduction and background Throughout the paper N will denote the set of all positive integers. Approximation theory has important applications in the theory of polynomial approximation in various areas of functional analysis. For a sequence {Tn }n∈N of positive linear operators on C(X), the space of real valued continuous functions on a compact subset X of real numbers, Korovkin [20] first established the necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniform convergence of {Tn f }n∈N to a function f by using the test functions e0 = 1, e1 = x, e2 = x2 [1]. The study of the Korovkin type approximation theory has a long history and is a well-established area of research. As is mentioned in [12] in particular, the matrix summability methods of Cesáro type are strong enough to correct the lack of convergence of various sequences of positive linear operators such as the interpolation operators of Hermite-Fejér [6]. In recent years, using the concept of uniform statistical convergence various statistical approximation results have been proved [9,10]. Erkuş and Duman [15] studied a Korovkin type approximation theorem via A-statistical convergence in the space Hw (I 2 ) where I 2 = [0, ∞) × [0, ∞) which was extended for double sequences of positive linear operators of two variables in A-statistical sense by Demirci and Dirik in [12]. Our primary interest in this paper is to obtain a general Korovkin type approximation theorem for double sequences of positive linear operators of two variables from Hw (K) to C(K) where K = [0, A] × [0, B], A, B ∈ (0, 1), in the sense of AI2 -statistical convergence. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 40A35, 47B38, 41A25, 41A36 Keywords and phrases: Ideal; AI 2 -statistical convergence; positive linear operator; Korovkin type approximation theorem; rate of convergence. 288 Korovkin type approximation 289 The concept of convergence of a sequence of real numbers was extended to statistical convergence by Fast [17]. Further investigations started in this area after the pioneering works of Šalát [31] and Fridy [18]. The notion of I-convergence of real sequences was introduced by Kostyrko et al. [23] as a generalization of statistical convergence using the notion of ideals (see [3,4,5] for further references). Later the idea of I-convergence was also studied in topological spaces in [24]. On the other hand statistical convergence was generalized to A-statistical convergence by Kolk [21,22]. Later a lot of works have been done on matrix summability and A-statistical convergence (see [2,7,8,11,16,19,21,22,25,29]). In particular, very recently in [33] and [34] the two above mentioned approaches were unified and the very general notion of AI -statistical convergence was introduced and studied. In this paper we consider an extension of this notion to double sequences, namely AI2 -statistical convergence. A real double sequence {xmn }m,n∈N is said to be convergent to L in Pringsheim’s sense if for every ε > 0 there exists N (ε) ∈ N such that |xmn − L| < ε for all m, n > N (ε) and denoted by limm,n xmn = L. A double sequence is called bounded if there exists a positive number M such that |xmn | ≤ M for all (m, n) ∈ N × N. A real double sequence {xmn }m,n∈N is statistically convergent to L if for every ε > 0, lim j,k |{m ≤ j, n ≤ k : |xmn − L| ≥ ε}| =0 jk [27,28]. Recall that a family I ⊂ 2Y of subsets of a nonempty set Y is said to be an ideal in Y if (i)A, B ∈ I implies A ∪ B ∈ I; (ii)A ∈ I, B ⊂ A implies B ∈ I, while an admissible ideal I of Y further satisfies {x} ∈ I for each x ∈ Y . If I is a non-trivial proper ideal in Y (i.e. Y ∈ / I, I 6= {∅}) then the family of sets F (I) = {M ⊂ Y : there exists A ∈ I : M = Y \A} is a filter in Y . It is called the filter associated with the ideal I. A non-trivial ideal I of N × N is called strongly admissible if {i} × N and N×{i} belong to I for each i ∈ N. It is evident that a strongly admissible ideal is admissible also. Let I0 = {A ⊂ N × N :3 m(A) ∈ N such that i, j ≥ m(A) =⇒ (i, j) ∈ / A}. Then I0 is a non-trivial strongly admissible ideal [14]. Let A = (ank ) be a non-negative regular matrix. For an ideal I of N a sequence {xn }n∈N is said to be AI -statistically convergent to L if for any ε > 0 and δ > 0, ½ ¾ X n∈N: ank ≥ δ ∈ I, k∈K(ε) where K(ε) = {k ∈ N : |xk − L| ≥ ε} [33,34]. Let A = (ajkmn ) be a four dimensional summability matrix. For a given double sequence {xmn }m,n∈N , the A-transform of x, denoted by Ax := ((Ax)jk ), is given by X (Ax)jk = ajkmn xmn (m,n)∈N2 provided the double series converges in Pringsheim sense for every (j, k) ∈ N2 . In 1926, Robison [30] presented a four dimensional analog of the regularity by 290 S. Dutta, P. Das considering an additional assumption of boundedness. This assumption was made because a convergent double sequence is not necessarily bounded. Recall that a four dimensional matrix A = (ajkmn ) is said to be RH-regular if it maps every bounded convergent double sequence into a convergent double sequence with the same limit. The Robison-Hamilton conditions state that a four dimensional matrix A = (ajkmn ) is RH-regular if and only if (i) limj,k ajkmn = 0 for each (m, n) ∈ N2 , P (ii) limj,k (m,n)∈N2 ajkmn = 1, P (iii) limj,k m∈N |ajkmn | = 0 for each n ∈ N, P (iv) limj,k n∈N |ajkmn | = 0 for each m ∈ N, P (v) (m,n)∈N2 |ajkmn | is convergent, P (vi) there exist finite positive integers M0 and N0 such that m,n>N0 |ajkmn | < M0 holds for every (j, k) ∈ N2 . Let A = (ajkmn ) be a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix and let K ⊂ N2 . Then the A-density of K is given by X (2) δA {K} = lim ajkmn j,k (m,n)∈K provided the limit exists. A real double sequence x = {xmn }m,n∈N is said to be A-statistically convergent to a number L if for every ε > 0 (2) δA {(m, n) ∈ N2 : |xmn − L| ≥ ε} = 0. n o (2) We denote Iδ(2) = C ⊂ N2 : δA {C} = 0 which is an admissible ideal in N × N. A Throughout we use I as a non-trivial strongly admissible ideal on N × N. 2. A Korovkin type approximation theorem Recently the concept of I-statistical convergence for real single sequences has been introduced by Das and Savas as a notion of convergence which is strictly weaker than the notion of statistical convergence (see [32] for details). Consequently this notion has been further investigated in [13]. Very recently it has been further generalized by using a summability matrix A into AI -statistical convergence for real single sequences by Savas, Das and Dutta [33,34]. In this paper we consider the following natural extension of these convergence for real double sequences. The following definition is due to E. Savas (who has informed about it in a personal communication). Definition 2.1. A real double sequence {xm,n }m,n∈N is said to be I2 statistically convergent to L if for each ε > 0 and δ > 0, n o 1 (j, k) ∈ N2 : jk |{m ≤ j, n ≤ k : |xmn − L| ≥ ε}| ≥ δ ∈ I. We now introduce the main definition of this paper. Korovkin type approximation 291 Definition 2.2. Let A = (ajkmn ) be a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix. Then a real double sequence {xmn }m,n∈N is said to be AI2 -statistically convergent to a number L if for every ε > 0 and δ > 0, ¾ ½ X 2 (j, k) ∈ N : ajkmn ≥ δ ∈ I, (m,n)∈K2 (ε) 2 where K2 (ε) = {(m, n) ∈ N : |xmn − L| ≥ ε}. In this case, we write AI2 -stlimm,n xmn = L. It should be noted that, if we take A = C(1, 1), the double Cesáro matrix [26] defined as follows ½ 1 for m ≤ j, n ≤ k; ajkmn = jk 0 otherwise, I then A2 -statistical convergence coincides with the notion of I2 -statistical convergence. Again if we replace the matrix A by the identity matrix for four dimensional matrices and I = I0 then AI2 -statistical convergence reduces to the Pringsheim convergence for double sequences. For the ideal I = I0 , AI2 -statistical convergence implies A-statistical convergence for double sequences. The basic properties of AI2 statistically convergent double sequences are similar to AI -statistical convergent single sequences and can be obtained analogously as in [32,33]. So our main aim here is to present an application of this notion in approximation theory. Throughout this section, let K = [0, A] × [0, B] A, B ∈ (0, 1) and denote the space of all real valued continuous functions on K by C(K). This space is endowed with the supremum norm kf k = sup(x,y)∈K |f (x, y)|, f ∈ C(K). Consider the space Hw (K) of real valued functions f on K satisfying ³ r u x 2 v y 2´ |f (u, v) − f (x, y)| ≤ w f ; ( − ) +( − ) 1−u 1−x 1−v 1−y where w is the modulus of continuity for δ > 0 given by p w(f ; δ) = sup{|f (u, v) − f (x, y)| : (u, v), (x, y) ∈ K, (u − x)2 + (v − y)2 ≤ δ}. Then it is clear that any function in Hw (K) is continuous and bounded on K. y x We will use the following test functions f0 (x, y) = 1, f1 (x, y) = 1−x , f2 = 1−y , y 2 x 2 f3 (x, y) = ( 1−x ) + ( 1−y ) and we denote the value of T f at a point (u, v) ∈ K by T (f ; u, v). Now we establish the Korovkin type approximation theorem in AI2 -statistical sense. Theorem 2.1. Let {Tmn }m,n∈N be a sequence of positive linear operators from Hw (K) into C(K) and let A = (ajkmn ) be a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix. Then for any f ∈ Hw (K), AI2 -st-lim kTmn f − f k = 0 m,n is satisfied if the following holds AI2 -st-lim kTmn fi − fi k = 0, i = 0, 1, 2, 3. m,n (1) (2) 292 S. Dutta, P. Das Proof. Assume that (2) holds. Let f ∈ Hw (K). Our objective is to show that for given ε > 0 there exist constants C0 , C1 , C2 , C3 (depending on ε > 0) such that kTmn f − f k ≤ ε + C3 kTmn f3 − f3 k + C2 kTmn f2 − f2 k + C1 kTmn f1 − f1 k + C0 kTmn f0 − f0 k. If this is done then our hypothesis implies that for any ε > 0, δ > 0, ½ ¾ X (j, k) ∈ N2 : ajkmn ≥ δ ∈ I, (m,n)∈K2 (ε) where K2 (ε) = {(m, n) ∈ N2 : kTmn f − f k ≥ ε}. To this end, start by observing that for each (u, v) ∈ K the function 0 ≤ s u 2 t v 2 guv ∈ Hw (K) defined by guv (s, t) = ( 1−s − 1−u ) + ( 1−t − 1−v ) satisfies guv = y 2 y x x 2 2u 2v u 2 v 2 ( 1−x ) +( 1−y ) − 1−u 1−x − 1−v 1−y +( 1−u ) +( 1−v ) . Since each Tmn is a positive operator, Tmn guv is a positive function. In particular, we have for each (u, v) ∈ K, 0 ≤ Tmn guv (u, v) y 2 x 2 = [Tmn (( 1−x ) + ( 1−y ) − y 2v u 2 v 2 1−v 1−y + ( 1−u ) + ( 1−v ) ; u, v)] y 2 x 2 u 2 v 2 = [Tmn (( 1−x ) + ( 1−y ) ; u, v) − ( 1−u ) − ( 1−v ) ] y 2u x u 2v v − 1−u [Tmn ( 1−x ; u, v) − 1−u ] − 1−v [Tmn ( 1−y ; u, v) − 1−v ] u 2 v 2 + {( 1−u ) + ( 1−v ) }[Tmn f0 − f0 ] 2u ≤ kTmn f3 − f3 k + 1−u kTmn f1 − f1 k u 2 v 2 2v kTmn f2 − f2 k + {( 1−u ) + ( 1−v ) }kTmn f0 − f0 k. + 1−v 2u x 1−u 1−x − Let M = kf k and ε > 0.

Let I be a non-trivial strongly admissible ideal of N × N. Choose an infinite subset C = {(pi , qi ) : i ∈ N}, from I such that pi 6= qi for all i, p1 < p2 < · · · and q1 < q2 < · · · . Let {umn }m,n∈N be given by ½ 1 m, n are even umn = 0 otherwise. Let A = (ajkmn ) be given by 1 if j = pi , k = qi , m = 2pi , n = 2qi for some i ∈ N ajkmn = 1 if (j, k) 6= (pi , qi ), for any i, m = 2j + 1, n = 2k + 1 0 otherwise. Now for 0 < ε < 1, K2 (ε) = {(m, n) ∈ N × N : |umn − 0| ≥ ε} = {(m, n) : m, n are even}. Observe that ½ X 1 if j = pi , k = qi for some i ∈ N ajkmn = 0 if (j, k) 6= (pi , qi ), for any i ∈ N.

Evidently this sequence is not A-statistically convergent to 0. Consider the following Meyer-König and Zeler operators Mmn (f ; x, y) = (1 − x)m+1 (1 − y)n+1 µ ¶µ ¶µ ¶ ∞ X ∞ X k l m+k n+l k l × f , x y k+m+1 l+m+1 k l k=0 l=0 where f ∈ Hw (K) and K = [0, A] × [0, B], A, B ∈ (0, 1).

Korovkin type approximation 295 Now consider the following positive linear operator Tmn on Hw (K) defined by Tmn (f ; x, y) = (1 + umn )Mmn (f ; x, y). It is easy to observe that kTmn fi − fi k = umn for i = 0, 1, 2 which imply that AI2 -st-limm,n kTmn fi − fi k = 0, i = 0, 1, 2.

Hence from previous theorem it follows that AI2 -st-limm,n kTmn f − f k = 0 for any f ∈ Hw (K). But since {umn }m,n∈N is not A-statistically convergent so the sequence {Tmn (f ; x, y)}m,n∈N considered above does not converge A-statistically to the function f ∈ Hw (K). 3. Rate of AI2 -statistical convergence In this section we present a way to compute the rate of AI2 -statistical convergence in Theorem 2.1. We will need the following definitions. 296 S. Dutta, P. Das Definition 3.1. Let A = (ajkmn ) be a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix and let {αmn }m,n∈N be a positive non-increasing double sequence. Then a real double sequence {xmn }m,n∈N is said to be AI2 -statistically convergent to a number L with the rate of o(αmn ) if for every ε > 0 and δ > 0, ¾ ½ X 1 2 (j, k) ∈ N : ajkmn ≥ δ ∈ I, αjk (m,n)∈K2 (ε) where K2 (ε) = {(m, n) ∈ N AI2 -st-o(αmn )-limm,n xmn = L. 2 : |xmn − L| ≥ ε}. In this case, we write Definition 3.2. Let A = (ajkmn ) be a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix and let {αmn }m,n∈N be a positive non-increasing double sequence. Then a real double sequence {xmn }m,n∈N is said to be AI2 -statistically convergent to a number L with the rate of om (αmn ) if for every ε > 0 and δ > 0, ½ ¾ X 2 (j, k) ∈ N : ajkmn ≥ δ ∈ I, (m,n)∈K2 (ε) 2 where K2 (ε) = {(m, n) ∈ N : AI2 -st-om (αmn )-limm,n xmn = L. |xmn − L| ≥ εαmn }. In this case, we write Lemma 3.1. Let {xmn }m,n∈N and {ymn }m,n∈N be double sequences. Assume that A = (ajkmn ) is a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix and let {αmn }m,n∈N and {βmn }m,n∈N be positive non-increasing double sequences. If AI2 -st-o(αmn )-lim xmn = L1 and AI2 -st-o(βmn )-lim xmn = L2 m,n m,n then we have (i) AI2 -st-o(γmn )-lim (xmn ± ymn ) = L1 ± L2 where γmn = max{αmn , βmn }, m,n (ii) AI2 -st-o(αmn )-lim λxmn = λL1 for any real number λ. m,n Proof.

Now consider the following sets U = {(m, n) : kTmn f − f k ≥ µ}, µ U1 = {(m, n) : w(f ; δ) ≥ }, 3M µ U2 = {(m, n) : kTmn f0 − f0 k ≥ }, 3M U3 = {(m, n) : w(f ; δ)kTmn f0 − f0 k ≥ Then U ⊂ U1 ∪ U2 ∪ U3 . Now define µ }. 3M r µ }, 3M r µ 00 U3 = {(m, n) : kTmn f0 − f0 k ≥ }. 3M U30 = {(m, n) : w(f ; δ) ≥ Then U ⊂ U1 ∪U2 ∪U30 ∪U300 . Now since γmn = max{αmn , βmn } for each (m, n) ∈ N2 then for all (j, k) ∈ N2 , X X X 1 1 1 ajkmn ≤ ajkmn + ajkmn γj,k βj,k αj,k (m,n)∈U (m,n)∈U1 1 + βj,k X (m,n)∈U2 1 ajkmn + α j,k 0 (m,n)∈U3 X ajkmn . (m,n)∈U300 Then for any σ > 0 ¾ ½ X 1 ajkmn ≥ σ (j, k) ∈ N2 : γj,k (m,n)∈U ½ ¾ ½ X X 1 σ 1 2 ⊆ (j, k) ∈ N : ajkmn ≥ ∪ (j, k) ∈ N2 : ajkmn ≥ βj,k 4 αj,k (m,n)∈U1 (m,n)∈U2 ½ ¾ ½ X X 1 σ 1 ∪ (j, k) ∈ N2 : ajkmn ≥ ∪ (j, k) ∈ N2 : ajkmn ≥ βj,k 4 αj,k 0 00 (m,n)∈U3 (m,n)∈U3 σ 4 ¾ ¾ σ . 4 Now from hypothesis the sets on the right-hand side belong to I and consequently ¾ ½ X 1 2 ajkmn ≥ σ ∈ I (j, k) ∈ N : γj,k (m,n)∈U for any σ > 0. This completes the proof. The proof of the following theorem is analogous to the proof of Theorem 3.1 and so is omitted. Theorem 3.2. Let {Tmn }m,n∈N be a sequence of positive linear operators from Hw (K) into C(K). Let A = (ajkmn ) be a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix and {αmn }m,n∈N and {βmn }m,n∈N be positive non-increasing double sequences. 299 Korovkin type approximation Assume that the following conditions hold (i) AI2 -st-om (αmn )-lim kTmn f0 − f0 k = 0, m,n (ii) AI2 -st-om (βmn )-lim m,n w(f ; δmn ) = 0, p y x u 2 where δmn = kTmn (ψ)k with ψ(u, v) = ( 1−x − 1−u ) + ( 1−y − any f ∈ Hw (K), AI2 -st-om (γmn )-lim kTmn (f ) − f k = 0, v 2 1−v ) . Then for m,n where γmn = max{αmn , βmn } for each (m, n) ∈ N2 . Acknowledgement. The first author is thankful to CSIR, India for giving JRF during the tenure of which this work was done.
