Also using the A-statistical convergence which is stronger than Pringsheim convergence of double sequences, we prove a Korovkin-type approximation theorem for matrix valued positive linear operators of two variables. We also compute the rates of A-statistical convergence of this operators. 1 Introduction One of the most important and basic results in approximation theory is the classical Bohman-Korovkin theorem (see for instance [10]). This theorem establishes the uniform convergence in the space C[a; b] of all the continuous real functions de…ned on the interval [a; b], for a sequence of positive linear operators (Tn ) acting on C[a; b], assuming the convergence only on the test functions 1; x; x2 . Of course, this theory mainly gives the approximation a scaler-valued function by means of linear positive operators. However, in [16], Serra-Capizzano presented a new Korovkin-type result for matrix valued functions. Some other related topics may be found in the papers [13, 17, 18] and cited therein. In particular, the use of statistical convergence had a great impulse in recent years. Furthermore, with the help of the concept of uniform statistical convergence, which is a regular (non-matrix) summability transformation, various statistical approximation results have been proved [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9]. Then, it was demonstrated that those results are more powerful than the classical Korovkin theorem. In [4], using the statistical convergence, Duman and Erkuş-Duman proved Korovkin-type approximation theorem for matrix valued positive linear operators. Our primary interest in the present paper is to obtain a general Korovkin-type approximation theorem for double sequences of matrix valued positive linear operators of two variables from C(D; Cs t ) to itself where D is a compact subset of R2 : Mathematics Subject Classi…cations: 40G15, 41A36.

As usual, a double sequence x = (xmn ) ; m; n 2 N; is convergent in Pringsheim’s sense if, for every " > 0; there exists N = N (") 2 N such that jxmn Lj < " whenever m; n > N . Then, L is called the Pringsheim limit of x and is denoted by P limx = L (see [14]). In this case, we say that x = (xmn ) is m;n “P -convergent to L”. Also, if there exists a positive number M such that jxmn j M for all (m; n) 2 N2 = N N; then x = (xmn ) is said to be bounded. Note that in contrast to the case for single sequences, a convergent double sequence needs not to be bounded. Now let A = [aprmn ]; p; r; m; n 2 N; be a four-dimensional summability matrix. For a given double sequence x = (xmn ), the A-transform of x, denoted by Ax := f(Ax)pr g, is given by (Ax)pr = X aprmn xmn ; (m;n)2N2 p; r 2 N; provided the double series converges in Pringsheim’s sense for every (p; r) 2 N2 . In summability theory, a two-dimensional matrix transformation is said to be regular if it maps every convergent sequence in to a convergent sequence with the same limit. The well-known characterization for two dimensional matrix transformations is known as Silverman-Toeplitz conditions (see, for instance, [7]). In 1926, Robinson [15] presented a four dimensional analog of the regularity by considering an additional assumption of boundedness. This assumption was made because a double P -convergent sequence is not necessarily bounded. The de…nition and the characterization of regularity for four dimensional matrices is known as Robison-Hamilton conditions, or brie‡y, RHregularity (see, [6, 15]). Recall that a four dimensional matrix A = [aprmn ] is said to be RH-regular if it maps every bounded P -convergent sequence into a P -convergent sequence with the same P -limit. The Robison-Hamilton conditions state that a four dimensional matrix A = [aprmn ] is RH-regular if and only if (i) P lim aprmn = 0 for each (m; n) 2 N2 ; (ii) P lim (iii) P lim (iv) P lim (v) p;r P p;r (m;n)2N2 P p;r m2N P p;r n2N P (m;n)2N2 aprmn = 1, japrmn j = 0 for each n 2 N, japrmn j = 0 for each m 2 N, japrmn j is P convergent, F. Dirik and K. Demirci 329 (vi) there exist …nite positive integers A and B such that P m;n>B for every (p; r) 2 N2 : K japrmn j < A holds Now let A = [aprmn ] be a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix, and let N2 . Then A-density of K is given by X (2) lim aprmn A fKg := P p;r (m;n)2K provided that the limit on the right-hand side exists in Pringsheim’s sense. A real double sequence x = (xmn ) is said to be A statistically convergent to a number L if, for every " > 0, (2) 2 Lj "g = 0. A f(m; n) 2 N : jxmn (2) In this case, we write stA limxmn = L. We should note that if we take A = C(1; 1), m;n which is the double Cesáro matrix, then C(1; 1)-statistical convergence coincides with the notion of statistical convergence for double sequence, which was introduced in [11, 12]. Finally, if we replace the matrix A by the identity matrix for four-dimensional matrices, then A-statistical convergence reduces to the Pringsheim convergence. A P -convergent double sequence is A-statistically convergent to the same value but the converse does not hold true. 2 A Korovkin-Type Approximation Theorem for Double Sequences In this section, we give a Korovkin-type theorem for double sequences of matrix valued positive linear operators de…ned on C(D; Cs t ) using the concept of A-statistical convergence. Let s; t be two …xed natural numbers and D a compact subset of R2 . By C(D; Cs t ) we denote the space of all continuous functions F acting on D and having values in the space Cs t of the complex s t matrices such that F (x; y) := [fjk (x; y)]s t ; ((x; y) 2 D; 1 j s; 1 k t), (1) where the symbol [bjk ]s t denotes the s t matrix. Here, by the continuity of F we mean that all scalar valued functions fjk are continuous on D. Then, the norm k ks t on the space C(D; Cs t ) is de…ned by ! kF ks t := max 1 j s; 1 k t kfjk k := max 1 j s; 1 k t sup jfjk (x; y)j : (x;y)2D Throughout this paper we use the following test functions E0jk (u; v) = Ejk ; E1jk (u; v) = uEjk ; (2) 330 Matrix-Valued Functions of Two Variables E2jk (u; v) = vEjk and E3jk (u; v) = u2 + v 2 Ejk ; (3) for (u; v) 2 D, 1 j s, 1 k t; where Ejk denotes the matrix of the canonical basis of Cs t being 1 in the position (j; k) and zero otherwise. Let : C(D; Cs t ) ! C(D; Cs t ) be an operator, and let us assume that (i) (ii) (aF + bG) = a (F ) + b (G) for any ; 2 C and F; G 2 C(D; Cs t ), (F ) K (jF j) for any function F 2 C(D; Cs t ) and for a …xed positive constant K. Under the above-mentioned assumptions, the operator is said to be a matrix linear positive operator, or brie‡y, mLP O (see, for details, [16]). The inequality appearing in (ii) is understood to be componentwise, i.e., holding for any component (j; k) 2 f1; 2; :::; sg f1; 2; :::; tg: Now we have the following main result. THEOREM 1. Let A = [aprmn ] be a nonnegative RH-regular summability matrix and let ( mn ) be a double sequence of mP LOs acting from C(D; Cs t ) into itself. Then for all (j; k) 2 f1; 2; :::; sg f1; 2; :::; tg and for each i = 0; 1; 2; 3, st2A lim k m;n mn (Eijk ) Eijk ks t = 0, (4) where Eijk is given by (2) and (3), if and only if for every F 2 C(D; Cs t ) as in (1); st2A lim k m;n mn (F ) F ks t = 0. (5) PROOF. Since each Eijk 2 C(D; Cs t ), (i = 0; 1; 2; 3), the implication (5))(4) is obvious. Suppose now that (4) holds. Let F 2 C(D; Cs t ) and (x; y) 2 D be …xed. Fist, we calculate the expression j nm (F ; x; y) F (x; y)j, the symbol jBj denotes the matrix having entries equal to the absolute value of the entries of the matrix B. We can show that F (x; y) := [fjk (x; y)]s t ; 1 j s; 1 k t, can be written as follows: F (x; y) := t s X X fjk (x; y)Ejk = j=1 k=1 s X t X fjk (x; y)E0jk (u; v): j=1 k=1 Hence, we obtain mn (F (x; y); x; y) = s X t X fjk (x; y) mn (E0jk (u; v); x; y) : (6) j=1 k=1 Also, the continuity of fjk on D; for a given " > 0, there exists a number that for all (u; v) 2 D satisfying q 2 2 (u x) + (v y) : > 0 such F. Dirik and K. Demirci 331 We have jfjk (u; v) fjk (x; y)j " for 1 Also we get for all (x; y) ; (u; v) 2 D satisfying jfjk (u; v) where M := 2Mjk fjk (x; y)j 2 j s; 1 q (u t: 2 j y) > s; 1 2 (7) 2 x) + (v '(u; v) for 1 sup jfjk (x; y)j and '(u; v) = (u k k that t; (8) 2 x) + (v y) . Combining (7) and (x;y)2D (8) we have for (u; v) 2 D that jfjk (u; v) fjk (x; y)j "+ 2Mjk '(u; v): (9) '(u; v)E; (10) 2 Then observe that, by (9), jF (u; v) where E is the s mn "E + 2M 2 t matrix such that all entires 1, and M := Since F (x; y)j max Mjk = kF ks 1 j s; 1 k t t : is a mP LO, from (6) and (10), we get j K mn (F (u; v); x; y) F (x; y)j ; x; y) mn (jF (u; v) s X t X ("K + M ) j=1 k=1 + F (x; y)j 2KM 2 j mn +j mn (F (x; y); x; y) (E0jk (u; v); x; y) mn ('(u; v)E; x; y) E0jk (x; y)j + "KE (11) for a …xed positive constant K. Now we compute the expression on the left-hand side of (11). By a simple calculation, we get mn ('(u; v)E; x; y) = F (x; y)j mn ('(u; v)E; x; y) s X t X ( '(u; v)Ejk ; x; y) mn j=1 k=1 = s X t X j=1 k=1 2y f mn mn (E3jk ; x; y) 2x mn (E2jk ; x; y) + x2 + y 2 (E1jk ; x; y) mn (E0jk ; x; y) : 332 Matrix-Valued Functions of Two Variables Then, mn ( s X t X j=1 k=1 +2A 2 (u j s X t X s X t X j=1 k=1 y) E; x; y) (E3jk ; x; y) mn j=1 k=1 +2B 2 x) + (v E3jk (x; y)j j mn (E1jk ; x; y) E1jk (x; y)j j mn (E2jk ; x; y) E2jk (x; y)j s X t X + A2 + B 2 j=1 k=1 j mn (E0jk ; x; y) E0jk (x; y); j (12) where A := max jxj and B := max jyj.

The proof is complete. 3 Concluding Remarks In Theorem 1 if we replace the matrix A by the double Cesáro matrix C(1; 1), then we immediately get the following statistical result. COROLLARY 1. Let ( mn ) be a double sequence of mP LOs acting from C(D; Cs t ) into itself. Then for all (j; k) 2 f1; 2; :::; sg f1; 2; :::; tg and for each i = 0; 1; 2; 3, st2 lim k m;n mn (Eijk ) Eijk ks t = 0, where Eijk is given by (2) and (3), if and only if for every F 2 C(D; Cs t ) as in (1); st2 lim k m;n mn (F ) F ks t = 0. In Theorem 1 if we replace the matrix A by the double identity matrix I, then we immediately get the following classical result. COROLLARY 2. Let ( mn ) be a double sequence of mP LOs acting from C(D; Cs t ) into itself. Then for all (j; k) 2 f1; 2; :::; sg f1; 2; :::; tg and for each i = 0; 1; 2; 3, P lim k m;n mn (Eijk ) Eijk ks t = 0, where Eijk is given by (2) and (3), if and only if for every F 2 C(D; Cs t ) as in (1); P lim k m;n mn (F ) F ks t = 0. 334 Matrix-Valued Functions of Two Variables Now we present an example such that our new approximation result works but its classical case (Corollary 2) does not work. Let a, b; c; d be …xed real numbers and D = [a; b] [c; d]. First consider the following the matrix-valued Bernstein-type operators: Bmn (F ; x; y) m X n X = F l (b m a+ l=0 r=0 x b l a a y d a) ; c + r c c b b r (d n m l x a m l c) d d y c n r n r ; (14) where (x; y) 2 D, F 2 C (D; Cs t ) such that F (x; y) := [fjk (x; y)]s t ; 1 j s; 1 k t. Also, observe that the matrix-valued Bernstein-type polynomials Bmn can be also written as follows: Bmn (F ; x; y) m X n X s X t X = fjk a + l=0 r=0 j=1 k=1 x b a a l y d l (b m r c c b b r (d n a) ; c + m l x a d d y c m l c) n r n r Ejk ; (15) where Ejk denotes the matrix of the canonical basis of Cs t being 1 in the position (j; k) and zero otherwise. Then, by (14) or (15), we obtain that, for (j; k) 2 f1; 2; :::; sg f1; 2; :::; tg; Bmn (E0jk ; x; y) m X n X m n = l l=0 r=0 x b r l (b m E0jk a + m X n X m l r=0 = Ejk = E0jk (x; y) : a) ; c + n r l=0 l a a x b y d r (d n a a = l=0 r=0 l l y d a a l y d l r (b a) ; c + (d m n = E1jk (x; y) E1jk a + = xEjk r x b b b x a m l b b x a d d y c n r m l d d y c c) Similarly, we get that, for (j; k) 2 f1; 2; :::; sg Bmn (E1jk ; x; y) m X n X m n r c c c c r n r f1; 2; :::; tg; c c r b b x a m l c) and Bmn (E2jk ; x; y) = yEjk = E2jk (x; y) : d d y c n r F. Dirik and K. Demirci 335 Finally, we obtain that, for (j; k) 2 f1; 2; :::; sg = Bmn (E3jk ; x; y) m X n X m n l=0 r=0 l x b r a a l y d f1; 2; :::; tg; r c c b b x a m l r (d c) n 1 (b a) (x a) 2 = x2 (x a) + m m 1 (d c) (y c) 2 +y 2 (y c) + Ejk n n 1 1 (d (b a) (x a) 2 2 (x a) (y c) + = m m n +E3jk (x; y) : E3jk a + l (b m d d y c n r a) ; c + c) (y n c) Ejk Now take A = C(1; 1) and de…ne a double sequence u = (umn ) by umn := 1 0 if m and n are squares, otherwise. Using polynomials given by (14) and the double sequence u = (umn ), we introduce the following mP LOs on C (D; Cs t ) : mn (F ; x; y) = (1 + umn )Bmn (F ; x; y) ; (16) where (m; n) 2 N2 , (x; y) 2 D and F 2 C (D; Cs t ) such that F (x; y) := [fjk (x; y)]s t ; 1 j s; 1 k t. So, using the properties of matrix-valued the above operators given by (14), for each 1 j s; 1 k t, one can obtain the following results at once: k mn (Eijk ) Eijk ks t = umn , i = 0; 1; 2; and k mn (E3jk ) E3jk ks t 1 ( m (d + 2 a) + c) ( n umn ( m umn + ( n + where = max jxj, st2 = max jyj. Since st lim k m;n mn (Eijk ) (b a) ( m a) + 1 ( n c) 2 (b 2 (d a) + c) + a) ( m c) ( n a) c) umn umn ; limumn = 0, we conclude that m;n Eijk ks t = 0; i = 0; 1; 2; 3; c) 2 336 Matrix-Valued Functions of Two Variables for each 1 j s; 1 k t: So, by Theorem 1, we immediately see that st2 lim k mn (F ) m;n F ks t =0 for all F 2 C (D; Cs t ) : However, since u is not ordinary convergent to zero, the double sequence ( mn ) given by (16) does not satisfy the conditions of Corollary 2. 4 Rate of Convergence Various ways of de…ning rates of convergence in the A-statistical sense for four-dimensional summability matrices were introduced in [2]. In this section, we compute the corresponding rates of A-statistical convergence in Theorem 1 by means of two di¤erent ways. DEFINITION 1 ([2]). Let A = [aprmn ] be a non-negative RH-regular summability matrix and let ( mn ) be a positive non-increasing double sequence. A double sequence x = (xmn ) is A-statistically convergent to a number L with the rate of o( mn ) if for every " > 0, X 1 aprmn = 0, P lim p;r pr (m;n)2K(") where K(") := (m; n) 2 N2 : jxmn Lj " : In this case, we write xmn (2) L = stA o( mn ) as m; n ! 1: DEFINITION 2 ([2]). Let A = [aprmn ] and ( mn ) be the same as in De…nition 1. Then, a double sequence x = fxmn g is A-statistically convergent to a number L with the rate of omn ( mn ) if for every " > 0, X P lim aprmn = 0, p;r (m;n)2M (") where M (") := (m; n) 2 N2 : jxmn Lj " mn : In this case, we write xmn (2) L = stA omn ( mn ) as m; n ! 1: We see from the above statements that, in De…nition 1 the rate sequence ( mn ) directly e¤ects the entries of the matrix A = [aprmn ] although, according to De…nition 2, the rate is more controlled by the terms of the sequence x = (xmn ) (see for details, [5]) F. Dirik and K. Demirci 337 Let F 2 C(D; Cs t ) such that F (x; y) := [fjk (x; y)]s ; 1 t j s; 1 k t. Consider the the following modulus of continuity !(fjk ; ): ! (fjk ; ) := sup jfjk (u; v) fjk (x; y)j : (u; v) ; (x; y) 2 D; q where fjk are scalar valued functions continuous on D and matrix modulus of continuity of F as follows: !s (F ; ) := t max (u 2 x) + (v y) 2 > 0: Then, we de…ne the ! (fjk ; ) : 1 j s; 1 k t In order to obtain our result, we will make use of the elementary inequality, for all F 2 C(D; Cs t ) and for ; > 0, !s t (F ; ) (1 + [ ]) ! s t (F ; ) ; (17) where [ ] is de…ned to be the greatest integer less than or equal to . Then we have the following result. THEOREM 2. Let A = [aprmn ] be a nonnegative RH-regular summability matrix, let ( mn ) be a positive non-increasing double sequence. and let ( mn ) be a double sequence of mP LOs acting from C(D; Cs t ) into itself. Then for all (j; k) 2 f1; 2; :::; sg f1; 2; :::; tg and for each i = 0; 1; 2; 3, (a) k (b) ! s mn (E0jk ) t (F ; E0jk ks mn ) (2) = stA (2) t o( = stA o( mn ) jk (u; v) = (u 2 as m; n ! 1, as m; n ! 1 where F 2 C(D; Cs t ) and where mnjk ) x) + (v mn v u s t uX X := t k mn ( jk )ks t j=1 k=1 2 y) for each (x; y) ; (u; v) 2 D: Then, we get, for each F 2 C(D; Cs t ) as in (1); k mn (F ) F ks (2) t = stA o( mn ); where m;n := max 1 j s; 1 k t f mnjk ; mn g for all (m; n) 2 N2 . Furthermore, similar conclusions hold with the symbol “o”replaced by “omn ” 338 Matrix-Valued Functions of Two Variables PROOF. To see this, we …rst assume that (x; y) 2 D and F 2 C(D; Cs t ) be …xed, and that (a) and (b) hold. Since mn is a mP LO, we get j mn (F (u; v); x; y) K mn (jF (u; v) F (x; y)j F (x; y)j ; x; y) + j mn (F (x; y); x; y) F (x; y)j ; where K is a positive constant. Also, jF (u; v) F (x; y)j !s t 1+ where E is the s write j F; q (u 2 2 (u 2 x) + (v 2 x) + (v y) 2 y) ! !s E t (F ; ) E; t matrix such that all entires 1. As in the proof Theorem 1, we may mn (F (x; y); x; y) F (x; y)j t s X X M j=1 k=1 j mn (E0jk (u; v); x; y) E0jk (x; y)j ; (19) where M := max Mjk = kF ks 1 j s; 1 k t t : By (18) and (19), we obtain j mn (F (u; v); x; y) K! s t (F ; ) mn F (x; y)j (E) + K 2 !s t (F ; ) s X t X mn ( jk ; x; y) j=1 k=1 +M t s X X j=1 k=1 K! s t j (F ; ) mn (E0jk (u; v); x; y) t s X X j=1 k=1 +M t s X X j=1 k=1 + (18) K 2 !s t j mn (F ; ) j mn (E0jk (u; v); x; y) (E0jk (u; v); x; y) s X t X E0jk (x; y)j mn ( E0jk (x; y)j E0jk (x; y)j jk ; x; y) + K! s t (F ; ) E: j=1 k=1 Taking supremum over (x; y) 2 D on the both-sides of the above inequality and v u s t uX X := mn := t k mn ( jk )ks t ; j=1 k=1 F.
