[i,0] In particular, if f (0) (x) = f (x) then the meanings of bn (f ; x, y) and [0,j] bn (f ; x, y) are clear. By H[0, ∞)2 , we denote the class of all measurable functions defined on [0, ∞) satisfying Z 0 ∞ Z 0 ∞ |f (s)| |f (t)| dsdt <∞, for some positive integer n. {(1 + s)(1 + t)}n+1 Simultaneous Approximation By Two Dimensional Hybrid Positive... 17 This class is bigger than the class of all Lebesgue integrable functions on [0, ∞). Very recently author [1] has studied simultaneous approximation for two dimensional Lupaş-Durrmeyer operators and in [2], he studied simultaneous approximation for one variable. Gupta and other researchers also studied simultaneous approximation for one as well as two variables for similar type operators (see e.g. [3], [4], [5], [8]). The main object of this paper is to obtain the properties of simultaneous approximation by two dimensional Szász-Mirakian-Lupaş-Durrmeyer operators and obtained several asymptotic formulae for the partial derivative of these operators (2). 2 Auxiliary Results In this section, we shall mention certain results which are necessary to prove our main theorem. Lema 2.1.[7] For m ∈ N ∪ {0}, if we define ¶m µ ∞ X k −x , bn,k (x) Vn,m (x) = n k=0 then £ ¤ nVn,m+1 (x) = x V ′n,m (x) + mVn,m−1 (x) . Consequently, we have (i) Vn,m (x) is a polynomial in x of degree ≤ m. ¡ ¢ (ii) Vn,m (x) = O n−[(m+1)/2] , where [γ] denotes the integral part of γ. 18 Naokant Deo Lema 2.2.[6, 7] There exists the polynomials ϕc,h,r (x) independent of n and k such that xr (3) X dr −nx k [e (nx) ] = nc (k − nx)h ϕc,h,r (x)[e−nx (nx)k ]. dxr 2c+h≤r c,h≥0 Lema 2.3. If f (x, y) is differentiable r1 + r2 times on [0, ∞) , then we get ∞ Mn[r1 ,r2 ] (f ; x, y) = · Z 0 ∞ ∞ Z ∞ nr1 +r2 (n − r1 − 1)!(n − r2 − 1)!

Lema 2.4. Let the i − th order moment be defined by Z ∞ ∞ X bn,k (x) vn−r,k+r (s)(t − x)i ds µn,r,i (x) = (n − r − 1) k=0 0 then, we have the following recurrence relation: (n − i − r − 2)µn,r,i+1 (x) = xµ′n,r,i (x) + [(i + 1)(1 + 2x) + r(1 + x)] µn,r,i (x) (4) + ix(x + 2)µn,r,i−1 (x), where n > i + r + 2. Consequently, (i) we have µn,r,0 (x) = 1, µn,r,1 (x) = r(x + 1) + (1 + 2x) (n − r − 2) and µn,r,2 (x) = x2 (n + r2 + 5r + 6) + 2x(n + r2 + 4r + 3) + (r2 + 3r + 2) , (n − r − 2)(n − r − 3) ¡ ¢ (ii) for all x ∈ [0, ∞), we get µn,r,i (x) = O n−[(i+1)/2] . 20 Naokant Deo Proof. First we prove (4), by using xb′n,k (x) = (k − nx)bn,k (x) and t(1 + t)v ′n,k (t) = (k − nt)vn,k (t). We have from the definition of µn,r,i (x) xµ′n,r,i (x) = (n − r − 1) ∞ X xb′n,k (x) k=0 Z ∞ vn−r,k+r (t)(t − x)i dt − ixµn,r,i−1 (x). 0 Therefore, we have £ ¤ x µ′n,r,i (x) + iµn,r,i−1 (x) = = (n − r − 1) ∞ X (k − nx)bn,k (x) = (n − r − 1) bn,k (x) k=0 ∞ vn−r,k+r (t)(t − x)i dt 0 k=0 ∞ X Z Z ∞ [(k + r) − (n − r)t] vn−r,k+r (t)(t − x)i dt+ 0 +(n − r)µn,r,i+1 (x) + (n − r)xµn,r,i (x) − (nx + r)µn,r,i (x) = = (n−r−1) ∞ X bn,k (x) k=0 Z ∞ 0 t(1 + t)v ′n−r,k+r (t)(t − x)i dt + (n − r)µn,r,i+1 (x)− −(1 + x)rµn,r,i (x) = = (n − r − 1) ∞ X k=0 bn,k (x) Z ∞ 0 £ ¤ (1 + 2x)(t − x) + (t − x)2 + x(1 + x) · ·b′n−r,k+r (t)(t − x)i dt + (n − r)µn,r,i+1 (x) − (1 + x)rµn,r,i (x) = = −(i + 1)(1 + 2x)µn,r,i (x) − (i + 2)µn,r,i+1 (x) − x(1 + x)iµn,r,i−1 (x)+ +(n − r)µn,r,i+1 (x) − (1 + x)rµn,r,i (x). This leads to the proof of (4). Simultaneous Approximation By Two Dimensional Hybrid Positive... 21 Lema 2.5.
