Introduction We introduce the following discrete type operators Ln , n ∈ {1, 2, 3, . . .}, defined by (Ln f )(x) ≡ Ln (f, x) = (1.1) ∞ X un,k (x)λn,k (f ), k=0 where f ∈ C[0, ∞), x ≥ 0, un,k ∈ C[0, ∞) with un,k ≥ 0 on [0, ∞) and λn,k : C[0, ∞) → R are linear positive functionals, k ∈ {0, 1, 2, . . .}. The purpose of this paper is to establish sufficient conditions with the aim of obtaining direct local and global approximation theorems for (1.1). In [3] Ditzian gave the following interesting estimate: 1 1−λ 2 (1.2) |Bn (f, x) − f (x)| ≤ Cωϕλ f, √ ϕ (x) , n where Bn (f, x) = n X n k=0 k k n−k x (1 − x) k f , n f ∈ C[0, 1], x ∈ [0, 1] is the Bernstein-polynomial, C > 0 is an absolute constant and ϕ(x) = p x(1 − x). This estimate unifies the classical estimate for λ = 0 and the norm estimate for λ = 1. Guo et al. in [7] proved a similar estimate to (1.2) for the Baskakov operator. For the more general operator (1.1) we shall give a result similar to the estimate (1.2) and to the result established in [7].

Math. 7(5) Art. 163, 2006 http://jipam.vu.edu.au To formulate the main results we need some notations: let CB [0, ∞) be the space of all bounded continuous functions on [0, ∞) with the norm kf k = supx≥0 |f (x)|. Furthermore, let ωϕλ (f, t) = sup 0<h≤t |f (x + hϕλ (x)) − 2f (x) + f (x − hϕλ (x))| sup x±hϕλ (x)∈[0,∞) be the second order modulus of smoothness of Ditzian-Totik and let K ϕλ (f, t) = inf kf − gk + tkϕ2λ g 00 k + t2/(2−λ) kg 00 k : g 00 , ϕ2λ g 00 ∈ CB [0, ∞) be the corresponding modified weighted K−functional, where λ ∈ [0, 1] and ϕ : [0, ∞) → R is an admissible weight function (cf. [4, Section 1.2]) such that ϕ2 (x) ∼ xλ as x → 0+ and ϕ2 (x) ∼ xλ as x → ∞, respectively.
