Introduction For a function defined on [0, 1], the Meyer-Konig and Zeller operators Pn , n ∈ N [6] are defined by ∞ X k (1.1) Pn (f, x) = mn,k (x) f , x ∈ [0, 1] , n + k k=0 where mn,k (x) = n+k−1 k xk (1 − x)n . On a New Type of Meyer-Konig and Zeller Operators The rates of convergence of some integral modifications of the operators (1.1) were discussed in [1] – [5] and [7]. Recently, Zeng [8] generalized the operators (1.1) and its integral modification and estimated the rate of convergence for functions of bounded variation. We introduce a new generalization of the Meyer-Konig-Zeller operators for functions defined on [0, 1] as Z 1 ∞ X (α) (1.2) Bn,α (f, x) = Qn,k (x) bn,k (t) f (t) dt, x ∈ [0, 1] , k=0 0 Vijay Gupta Title Page Contents JJ J II I Go Back where α ≥ 1, (α) Qn,k (x) = ∞ X j=k and bn,k (t) = !α mn,j (x) − ∞ X !α mn,j (x) j=k+1 (n + k)! k t (1 − t)n−1 . k!

Actually, the main purpose in introducing these operators (1.2) is that some approximation formulae for Bn,α , n ∈ N become simpler than the corresponding results for the other modifications considered in [8]. For α = 1, the operators (1.2) reduce to Bn,1 (f, x) = ∞ X k=0 Z mn,k (x) 1 bn,k (t) f (t) dt. 0 In the present paper, we study the behaviour of Bn,α (f, x) for functions of bounded variation and give an estimate on the rate of convergence for these new integrated Meyer-Konig-Zeller-Bezier operators. In the last section, we give the correct estimates for some other generalized Meyer-Konig-Zeller type operators considered in [2], [7] and [8].

Some Examples Recently Zeng [8] introduced some other generalized Meyer-Konig and Zeller operators as !Z Z 1 (α) ∞ X a Qn,k (x) R (4.1) M n,α (f, x) = f (t) dt = f (t) Kn,α,2 (x, t) dt, 1dt I 0 k I k k=0 (α) P Q χk (t) R n,k where α ≥ 1, Kn,α,2 (x, t) = ∞ k=0 l χk (u)du and χk is the characteristic func k (α) k+1 with respect to I = [0, 1] and Qn,k (x) is tion of the interval Ik = n+k , n+k+1 as defined by (1.1). In particular, for α = 1, the operators (4.1) reduce to the On a New Type of Meyer-Konig and Zeller Operators Vijay Gupta a operators M n,1 (f, x) studied by Guo [2], as a M n,1 (f, x) = (4.2) where a mn,k (x) = (n + 1) ∞ X a Title Page Contents Z mn,k (x) f (t) dt, k=0 Ik n+k+1 k xk (1 − x)n . We have noticed that Theorem 2 in [8] and Theorem 4.2 in [7] are not correct, there are some misprints. This motivated us to correct these estimates and in this section we have been able to correct and achieve improved estimates over the results of Zeng ([7, 8]), Guo [2] and Love et al. [5]. The misprinted estimate obtained by Zeng [8] is as follows: JJ J II I Go Back Close Quit Page 14 of 22 J. Ineq. Pure and Appl. Math. 3(4) Art. 57, 2002 http://jipam.vu.edu.au Theorem 4.1. Let f be a function of bounded variation on [0, 1].

Remark 4.1. It is remarked that there are misprints in Lemma 6 and Lemma 8 of Zeng [8]. Actually the author [8] has not verified his Lemmas 6 and 8 and he had taken these results directly from the paper of Guo [2] (see Lemmas 5 and 6 of [2]). As the Lemmas 5 and 6 of [2] are not correct. Although these mistakes were pointed out earlier by Love et al. [5] in 1994. Zeng also has not gone through the paper of Love et al. [5] and in another paper he has obtained the following misprinted exact bound for the operators (4.2): Theorem 4.2. Let f be a function of bounded variation on [0, 1]. Then for every x ∈ (0, 1) and n sufficiently large, we have a 1 M n,1 (f, x) − [f (x+) − f (x−)] 2 1−x √ n x+ k 1 1 5 X _ ≤ 16 + √ |f (x+) − f (x−)| + (gx ) , 3√ nx k=1 √x 2e x 2 n x− k Vijay Gupta Title Page Contents JJ J II I Go Back Close Quit Page 15 of 22 J.

It may be remarked here that the factor nx in Theorem 4.2 and 5α in Theorem 4.1 are not correct as the second moment estimate of Guo [2] nx+1 was not obtained correctly. We now give the correct and improved statement of Theorem 4.1 with an outline of the proof. For α = 1 our result reduces to the corresponding improved version of Theorem 4.2. Before giving the theorem we shall give a lemma which is necessary in the proof of our Theorem 4.4. 1−δ 4 Lemma 4.3.
