Introduction We consider a certain family of integral type operators, which are defined as ∞ (1.1) 1X Bn (f, x) = pn,ν (x) n ν=1 Z ∞ pn,ν−1 (t)f (t)dt 0 + (1 + x)−n−1 f (0), where pn,ν (t) = x ∈ [0, ∞), 1 tν (1 + t)−n−ν−1 B(n, ν + 1) with B(n, ν + 1) = ν!(n − 1)!/(n + ν)! the Beta function. Alternatively the operators (1.1) may be written as Z ∞ Bn (f, x) = Wn (x, t)f (t)dt, 0 where ∞ Wn (x, t) = 1X pn,ν (x)pn,ν−1 (t) + (1 + x)−n−1 δ(t), n ν=1 δ(t) being the Dirac delta function. The operators Bn are discretely defined linear positive operators. It is easily verified that these operators reproduce only the constant functions. As far as the degree of approximation is concerned these operators are very similar to the operators considered by Srivastava and Gupta [5], but the approximation properties of these operators are different. In this paper, we study some direct theorems in simultaneous approximation for the operators (1.1).

For m ∈ N0 , if the m-th order moment is defined as m ∞ 1X ν Un,m (x) = pn,ν (x) −x , n ν=0 n+1 then 0 (n + 1)Un,m+1 (x) = x(1 + x) Un,m (x) + mUn,m−1 (x) .

Let the function µn,m (x), n > m and m ∈ N0 , be defined as Z ∞ ∞ 1X µn,m (x) = pn,ν (x) pn,ν−1 (t)(t − x)m dt + (−x)m (1 + x)−n−1 . n ν=1 0 Then µn,0 (x) = 1, µn,1 (x) = 2x 2nx(1 + x) + 2x(1 + 4x) , µn,2 (x) = (n − 1) (n − 1)(n − 2) and there holds the recurrence relation (n − m − 1)µn,m+1 (x) = x(1 + x) µ0n,m (x) + 2mµn,m−1 (x) + [m(1 + 2x) + 2x] µn,m (x).

The values of µn,0 (x), µn,1 (x) and µn,2 (x) easily follow from the definition. We prove the recurrence relation as follows x(1 + x)µ0n,m (x) Z ∞ ∞ 1X 0 = x(1 + x)pn,ν (x) pn,ν−1 (t)(t − x)m dt n ν=1 0 Z ∞ ∞ 1X −m x(1 + x)pn,ν (x) pn,ν−1 (t)(t − x)m−1 dt n ν=1 0 m −n−2 − (n + 1)(−x) (1 + x) + m(−x)m−1 (1 + x)−n−1 x(1 + x). Now using the identities x(1 + x)p0n,ν (x) = [ν − (n + 1)x] pn,ν (x), we obtain x(1 + x) µ0n,m (x) + mµn,m−1 (x) ∞ 1X = [ν − (n + 1)x] pn,ν (x) n ν=1 Z ∞ × pn,ν−1 (t)(t − x)m dt + (n + 1)(−x)m+1 (1 + x)−n−1 0 Z ∞ ∞ 1X pn,ν (x) = [{(ν − 1) − (n + 1)t} + (n + 1)(t − x) + 1] n ν=1 0 × pn,ν−1 (t)(t − x)m dt + (n + 1)(−x)m+1 (1 + x)−n−1 Direct Results for Certain Family of Integral Type Operators Vijay Gupta and Ogün Doğru Title Page Contents JJ J II I Go Back Close Quit Page 5 of 21 J.

Simultaneous Approximation In this section we study the rate of pointwise convergence of an asymptotic formula and an error estimation in terms of a higher order modulus of continuity in simultaneous approximation for the operators defined by (1.1).
