Korovkin type approximation theorems are useful tools to check whether a given sequence (đż đ )đ≥1 of positive linear operators on đś[0, 1] of all continuous functions on the real interval [0, 1] is an approximation process. That is, these theorems exhibit a variety of test functions which assure that the approximation property holds on the whole space if it holds for them. Such a property was discovered by Korovkin in 1953 for the functions 1, đĽ, and đĽ2 in the space đś[0, 1] as well as for the functions 1, cos, and sin in the space of all continuous 2đ-periodic functions on the real line. In this paper, we use the notion of đľ-statistical đ´-summability to prove the Korovkin second approximation theorem. We also study the rate of đľ-statistical đ´-summability of a sequence of positive linear operators defined from đś2đ (R) into đś2đ (R). 1. Introduction and Preliminaries Let N be the set of all natural numbers, đž ⊆ N, and đžđ = {đ ≤ đ : đ ∈ đž}. Then the natural density of đž is defined by 1 óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ (đś1 đđž )đ , đż (đž) = lim óľ¨đž óľ¨ = lim đ đ óľ¨ đóľ¨ đ (1) if the limit exists, where the vertical bars indicate the number of elements in the enclosed set, đś1 = (đś, 1) is the CesaĚro matrix of order 1, and đđž denotes the characteristic sequence of đž given by (đđž )đ = { 0, if đ ∉ đž, 1, if đ ∈ đž. (2) A sequence đĽ = (đĽđ ) is said to be statistically convergent to đż if for every đ > 0, the set đžđ := {đ ∈ N : |đĽđ − đż| ≥ đ} has natural density zero (cf. Fast [1]); that is, for each đ > 0, 1 óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨ lim óľ¨{đ ≤ đ : óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đĽđ − đżóľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ ≥ đ}óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ = 0. đ đ óľ¨ (3) In this case, we write đż = st − lim đĽ. By the symbol st we denote the set of all statistically convergent sequences. Statistical convergence of double sequences is studied in [2, 3]. A matrix đ´ = (đđđ )∞ đ,đ=0 is called regular if it transforms a convergent sequence into a convergent sequence leaving the limit invariant. The well-known necessary and sufficient conditions (Silverman-Toeplitz) for đ´ to be regular are (i) ||đ´|| = supđ ∑đ |đđđ | < ∞; (ii) limđ đđđ = 0, for each đ; (iii) limđ ∑đ đđđ = 1. Freedmann and Sember [4] generalized the natural density by replacing đś1 with an arbitrary nonnegative regular matrix đ´. A subset đž of N has đ´-density if đżđ´ (đž) = lim ∑ đđđ đ đ∈đž (4) exists. Connor [5] and Kolk [6] extended the idea of statistical convergence to đ´-statistical convergence by using the notion of đ´-density. A sequence đĽ is said to be đ´-statistically convergent to đż if đżđ´ (đžđ ) = 0 for every đ > 0. In this case we write stđ´ −lim đĽđ = đż. By the symbol stđ´ we denote the set of all đ´-statistically convergent sequences. 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis In [7], Edely and Mursaleen generalized these statistical summability methods by defining the statistical đ´summability and studied its relationship with đ´-statistical convergence. Let đ´ = (đđđ ) be a nonnegative regular matrix. A sequence đĽ is said to be statistically đ´-summable to đż if for every đ > 0, đż({đ ≤ đ : |đŚđ − đż| ≥ đ}) = 0; that is, 1 óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨ lim óľ¨{đ ≤ đ : óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đŚđ − đżóľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ ≥ đ}óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ = 0, đ đ óľ¨ (5) where đŚđ = đ´ đ (đĽ). Thus đĽ is statistically đ´-summable to đż if and only if đ´đĽ is statistically convergent to đż. In this case we write đż = (đ´)st − lim đĽ = st − lim đ´đĽ. By (đ´)st we denote the set of all statistically đ´-summable sequences. A more general case of statistically đ´-summability is discussed in [8]. Quite recently, Edely [9] defined the concept of đľstatistical đ´-summability for nonnegative regular matrices đ´ and đľ which generalizes all the variants and generalizations of statistical convergence, for example, lacunary statistical convergence [10], đ-statistical convergence [11], đ´-statistical convergence [6], statistical đ´-summability [7], statistical (đś, 1)-summability [12], statistical (đť, 1)-summability [13], statistical (đ, đ)-summability [14], and so forth. Let đ´ = (đđđ ) and đľ = (đđđ ) be two nonnegative regular matrices. A sequence đĽ = (đĽđ ) of real numbers is said to be đľstatisticallyđ´-summable to đż if for every đ > 0, the set đž(đ) = {đ : |đŚđ − đż| ≥ đ} has đľ-density zero, thus (đľđđž(đ) ) đżđľ (đž (đ)) = lim ∑ đđđ = lim đ đ đ∈đž(đ) = lim ∑đđđ đđž(đ) (đ) = 0, đ (6) đ where đŚđ = đ´ đ (đĽ) = ∑đ đđđ đĽđ . In this case we denote by đż = (đ´)stđľ − lim đĽ = stđľ − lim đ´đĽ. The set of all đľ-statistically đ´summable sequences will be denoted by (đ´)stđľ . Remark 1. (1) If đ´ = đź (unit matrix), then (đ´)stđľ is reduced to the set of đľ-statistically convergent sequences which can be further reduced to lacunary statistical convergence and đstatistical convergence for particular choice of the matrix đľ. (2) If đľ = (đś, 1) matrix, then (đ´)stđľ is reduced to the set of statistically đ´-summable sequences. (3) If đ´ = đľ = (đś, 1) matrix, then (đ´)stđľ is reduced to the set of statistically (đś, 1)-summable sequences. (4) If đľ = (đś, 1) matrix and đ´ = (đđđ ) are defined by đđ { đđđ = { đđ {0 if 0 ≤ đ ≤ đ, (7) otherwise, then (đ´)stđľ is reduced to the set of statistically (đ, đ)summable sequences, where đ = (đđ ) is a sequence of nonnegative numbers, such that đ0 > 0 and đ đđ = ∑ đđ ół¨→ ∞ đ=0 (đ ół¨→ ∞) . (8) (5) If đľ = (đś, 1) matrix and đ´ = (đđđ ) are defined by 1 { đđđ = { đđđ {0 if 0 ≤ đ ≤ đ, (9) otherwise, đ where đđ = ∑đ=0 (1/(đ + 1)), then (đ´)stđľ is reduced to the set of statistically (đť, 1)-summable sequences. (6) If a sequence is convergent, then it is đľ-statistically đ´summable, since đ´đĽ converges and has đľ-density zero, but not conversely. (7) The spaces st, stđľ , (đ´)st , and (đ´)stđľ are not comparable, even if đ´ = đľ( ≠ (đś, 1)). (8) If a sequence is đ´-summable, then it is đľ-statistically đ´-summable. (9) If a sequence is bounded and đ´-statistically convergent, then it is đ´-summable and hence statistically đ´summable ([7], see Theorem 2.1) and đľ-statistically đ´summable but not conversely. Example 2. (1) Let us define đ´ = (đđđ ), đľ = (đđđ ), and đĽ = (đĽđ ) by đđđ = { 1 1 (2 ( (1 ( (3 ( (1 ( đđđ = ( (4 ( (1 ( (5 ( ( (⋅ ( 0 0 1 0 2 1 0 3 1 0 4 1 0 5 ⋅ ⋅ 1; if đ = đ2 , 0; otherwise, 0 0 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 0 0 0 0 0 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 1 3 1 0 4 1 0 5 ⋅ ⋅ 0 0 0 0 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 1 0 0 0 0 ⋅ 4 1 1 0 0 0 0 ⋅ 5 5 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 0 ) ) ) ⋅) ) ) ) ) ⋅), ) ) ) ⋅) ) ) ) ⋅) ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ đĽđ = { (10) ) 1; if đ is odd, 0; if đ is even. Then ∞ 1; ∑ đđđ đĽđ = { 0; đ=1 if đ is odd, if đ is even. (11) Here đĽ ∉ st, đĽ ∉ (đ´)st , đĽ ∉ stđ´, and đĽ ∉ (đ´)stđ´ , but đĽ is đľ-statistically đ´-summable to 1, since đżđľ {đ : |đŚđ − 1| ≥ đ} = 0. On the other hand we can see that đĽ is đľ-summable and hence đĽ is đľ-statistically đľ-summable, đ´-statistically đľ-summable, đľ-statistically convergent, and statistically đľ-summable. Let đš(R) denote the linear space of all real-valued functions defined on R. Let đś(R) be the space of all functions Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 đ continuous on R. We know that đś(R) is a Banach space with norm óľ¨ óľ¨ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠđóľŠóľŠ∞ := sup óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĽ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ , đĽ∈R đ ∈ đś (R) . (12) We denote by đś2đ (R) the space of all 2đ-periodic functions đ ∈ đś(R) which is a Banach space with óľ¨ óľ¨ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠđóľŠóľŠ2đ = sup óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĄ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ . đĄ∈R (13) The classical Korovkin first and second theorems statewhatfollows [15, 16]: Theorem I. Let (đđ ) be a sequence of positive linear operators from đś[0, 1] into đš[0, 1]. Then limđ âđđ (đ, đĽ) − đ(đĽ)â∞ = 0, for all đ ∈ đś[0, 1] if and only if limđ âđđ (đđ , đĽ) − đđ (đĽ)â∞ = 0, for đ = 0, 1, 2, where đ0 (đĽ) = 1, đ1 (đĽ) = đĽ, and đ2 (đĽ) = đĽ2 . Theorem II. Let (đđ ) be a sequence of positive linear operators from đś2đ (R) into đš(R). Then limđ âđđ (đ, đĽ) − đ(đĽ)â∞ = 0, for all đ ∈ đś2đ (R) if and only if limđ âđđ (đđ , đĽ)−đđ (đĽ)â∞ = 0, for đ = 0, 1, 2, where đ0 (đĽ) = 1, đ1 (đĽ) = cos đĽ, and đ2 (đĽ) = sin đĽ. We write đż đ (đ; đĽ) for đż đ (đ(đ ); đĽ), and we say that đż is a positive operator if đż(đ; đĽ) ≥ 0 for all đ(đĽ) ≥ 0. The following result was studied by Duman [17] which is đ´-statistical analogue of Theorem II. Theorem A. Let đ´ = (đđđ ) be a nonnegative regular matrix, and let (đđ ) be a sequence of positive linear operators from đś2đ (R) into đś2đ (R). Then for all đ ∈ đś2đ (R) óľŠ óľŠ stđ´ − lim óľŠóľŠóľŠđđ (đ; đĽ) − đ (đĽ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ = 0 đ→∞ (14) if and only if óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠ st − lim óľŠóľŠ∑đđđ đđ (1; đĽ) − 1óľŠóľŠóľŠ = 0, đ → ∞óľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ đ óľŠ2đ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠ st − lim óľŠóľŠóľŠ∑đđđ đđ (cos đĄ; đĽ) − cos đĽóľŠóľŠóľŠ = 0, đ → ∞óľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ đ óľŠ2đ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ st − lim óľŠóľŠóľŠ∑đđđ đđ (sin đĄ; đĽ) − sin đĽóľŠóľŠóľŠ = 0. đ → ∞óľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ đ óľŠ2đ (17) Several mathematicians have worked on extending or generalizing the Korovkin’s theorems in many ways and to several settings, including function spaces, abstract Banach lattices, Banach algebras, and Banach spaces. This theory is very useful in real analysis, functional analysis, harmonic analysis, measure theory, probability theory, summability theory, and partial differential equations. But the foremost applications are concerned with constructive approximation theory which uses it as a valuable tool. Even today, the development of Korovkin-type approximation theory is far frombeingcomplete. Note that the first and the second theorems of Korovkin are actually equivalent to the algebraic and the trigonometric version, respectively, of the classical Weierstrass approximation theorem [19]. Recently, such type of approximation theorems has been proved by many authors by using the concept of statistical convergence and its variants, for example, [20–28]. Further Korovkin type approximation theorems for functions of two variables are proved in [29–32]. In [29, 33] authors have used the concept of almost convergence. In this paper, we prove Korovkin second theorem by applying the notion of đľ-statistical đ´summability. We give here an example to justify that our result is stronger than Theorems II, A, and B. We also study the rate of đľ-statistical đ´-summability of a sequence of positive linear operators defined from đś2đ (R) into đś2đ (R). 2.

Since each of 1, cos đĽ, and sin đĽ belongs to đś2đ (R), conditions (19) follow immediately from (18). Let the conditions (19) hold and đ ∈ đś2đ (R). Let đź be a closed subinterval of length 2đ of R. Fix đĽ ∈ đź. By the continuity of đ at đĽ, it follows that for given đ > 0 there is a number đż > 0, such that for all đĄ óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ (20) óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĄ) − đ (đĽ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ < đ, whenever |đĄ − đĽ| < đż. Since đ is bounded, it follows that óľŠ óľŠ óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ (21) óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĄ) − đ (đĽ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ ≤ 2óľŠóľŠóľŠđóľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ , for all đĄ ∈ R. For all đĄ ∈ (đĽ − đż, 2đ + đĽ − đż], it is well known that óľŠ óľŠ 2óľŠóľŠđóľŠóľŠ óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ (22) óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĄ) − đ (đĽ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ < đ + óľŠ2 óľŠ2đ đ (đĄ) , sin (đż/2) where đ(đĄ) = sin2 ((đĄ − đĽ)/2). Since the function đ ∈ đś2đ (R) is 2đ-periodic, the inequality (22) holds for đĄ ∈ R. Now, operating đđ (1; đĽ) to this inequality, we obtain óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đđ (đ; đĽ) − đ (đĽ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ ≤ (đ + óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĽ)óľ¨óľ¨) óľ¨óľ¨đđ (1; đĽ) − 1óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ + đ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠđóľŠ óľ¨ óľ¨ + óľŠ2 óľŠ2đ {óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đđ (1; đĽ) − 1óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ + |cos đĽ| sin (đż/2) óľ¨ óľ¨ × óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đđ (cos đĄ; đĽ) − cos đĽóľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨ + |sin đĽ| óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đđ (sin đĄ; đĽ) − sin đĽóľ¨óľ¨óľ¨} (23) óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠđóľŠ óľ¨ óľ¨ ≤ đ + (đ + óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĽ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ + óľŠ2 óľŠ2đ ) sin (đż/2) óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ × {óľ¨óľ¨đđ (1; đĽ) − 1óľ¨óľ¨ + óľ¨óľ¨đđ (cos đĄ; đĽ) − cos đĽóľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨ + óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đđ (sin đĄ; đĽ) − sin đĽóľ¨óľ¨óľ¨} . Now, taking supđĽ∈đź , we get óľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠđđ (đ; đĽ) − đ (đĽ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ∞ óľŠ óľŠ óľŠ óľŠ ≤ đ + đž (óľŠóľŠóľŠđđ (1; đĽ) − 1óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ + óľŠóľŠóľŠđđ (cos đĄ; đĽ) − cos đĽóľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ óľŠ óľŠ + óľŠóľŠóľŠđđ (sin đĄ; đĽ) − sin đĽóľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ ) , (24) where đž := đ+âđâ2đ +(âđâ2đ /sin2 (đż/2)). Now replace đđ (⋅, đĽ) by ∑đ đđđ đđ (⋅, đĽ) and then by đľđ (⋅, đĽ) in (24) on both sides. For a given đ > 0 choose đó¸ > 0, such that đó¸ < đ. Define the following sets óľŠ óľŠ đˇ = {đ ≤ đ : óľŠóľŠóľŠđľđ (đ, đĽ) − đ (đĽ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ ≥ đ} , đ − đó¸ óľŠ óľŠ đˇ1 = {đ ≤ đ : óľŠóľŠóľŠđľđ (đ1 , đĽ) − đ0 óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ ≥ }, 3đž đ − đó¸ óľŠ óľŠ đˇ2 = {đ ≤ đ : óľŠóľŠóľŠđľđ (đ2 , đĽ) − đ1 óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ ≥ }, 3đž đ − đó¸ óľŠ óľŠ đˇ3 = {đ ≤ đ : óľŠóľŠóľŠđľđ (đ3 , đĽ) − đ2 óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ ≥ }. 3đž (25) Then đˇ ⊂ đˇ1 ∪ đˇ2 ∪ đˇ3 , and so đżđľ (đˇ) ≤ đżđľ (đˇ1 ) + đżđľ (đˇ2 ) + đżđľ (đˇ3 ). Therefore, using conditions (19) we get (18). This completes the proof of the theorem. 3. Rate of đľ-Statistical đ´-Summability In this section, we study the rate of đľ-statistical đ´summability of a sequence of positive linear operators defined from đś2đ (R) into đś2đ (R). Definition 4. Let đ´ = (đđđ ) and đľ = (đđđ ) be two nonnegative regular matrices. Let (đźđ ) be a positive nonincreasing sequence. We say that the sequence đĽ = (đĽđ ) is đľ-statistically đ´-summable to the number đż with the rate đ(đźđ ) if for every đ > 0, lim đ 1 ∑ đ = 0, đźđ đ∈đž(đ) đđ (26) where đž(đ) = {đ : |đŚđ − đż| ≥ đ} and đŚđ = đ´ đ (đĽ) = ∑đ đđđ đĽđ as described above. In this case, we write đĽđ − đż = (đ´)stđľ − đ(đźđ ). As usual we have the following auxiliary result whose proof is standard. Lemma 5. Let (đźđ ) and (đ˝đ ) be two positive nonincreasing sequences. Let đĽ = (đĽđ ) and đŚ = (đŚđ ) be two sequences, such that đĽđ − đż 1 = (đ´)stđľ − đ(đźđ ) and đŚđ − đż 2 = (đ´)stđľ − đ(đ˝đ ). Then (i) đ(đĽđ − đż 1 ) = (đ´)stđľ − đ(đźđ ), for any scalar đ, (ii) (đĽđ − đż 1 ) ± (đŚđ − đż 2 ) = (đ´)stđľ − đ(đžđ ), (iii) (đĽđ − đż 1 )(đŚđ − đż 2 ) = (đ´)stđľ − đ(đźđ đ˝đ ), where đžđ = max{đźđ , đđ }. Now, we recall the notion of modulus of continuity. The modulus of continuity of đ ∈ đś2đ (R), denoted by đ(đ, đż), is defined by óľ¨ óľ¨ đ (đ, đż) = sup óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĽ) − đ (đŚ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ . (27) |đĽ−đŚ|<đż It is well known that óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨đĽ − đŚóľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨ + 1) . óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĽ) − đ (đŚ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ ≤ đ (đ, đż) ( óľ¨ đż (28) Then prove the following result. Theorem 6. Let (đđ ) be a sequence of positive linear operators from đś2đ (R) into đś2đ (R). Suppose that (i) âđđ (1; đĽ) − 1â2đ = (đ´)stđľ − đ(đźđ ), (ii) đ(đ, đ đ ) = (đ´)stđľ − đ(đ˝đ ), where đ đ = √đđ (đđĽ ; đĽ) and đđĽ (đŚ) = sin2 ((đŚ − đĽ)/2). Then for all đ ∈ đś2đ (R), we have óľŠóľŠ óľŠ óľŠóľŠđđ (đ; đĽ) − đ (đĽ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ = (đ´)stđľ − đ (đžđ ) , where đžđ = max{đźđ , đ˝đ }. (29) Abstract and Applied Analysis 5 Proof.

Example and Concluding Remark In the following we construct an example of a sequence of positive linear operators satisfying the conditions of Theorem 3 but does not satisfy the conditions of Theorems II, A, and B. For any đ ∈ N, denote by đđ (đ) the đth partial sum of the Fourier series of đ; that is, đ 1 đđ (đ) (đĽ) = đ0 (đ) + ∑ đđ (đ) cos đđĽ + đđ (đ) sin đđĽ. 2 đ=1 (33) For any đ ∈ N, write 1 đ ∑ đ (đ) . đ + 1 đ=0 đ sin2 ((đ+1) (đĽ−đĄ) /2) { { 2 := { (đ+1) sin ((đĽ−đĄ) /2) { {đ + 1 The sequence (đđ )đ∈N is a positive kernel which is called the FejeĚr kernel, and the corresponding operators đšđ , đ ≥ 1, are called the FejeĚr convolution operators. We have where đž = max{âđâ2đ , 1 + đ2 }. Hence óľŠóľŠóľŠđđ (đ; đĽ) − đ (đĽ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ óľŠ2đ óľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠ ≤ đž {óľŠóľŠđđ (1; đĽ) − 1óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ + đ (đ, đ đ ) + đ (đ, đ đ ) (32) óľŠ óľŠ × óľŠóľŠóľŠđđ (1; đĽ) đđ − 1óľŠóľŠóľŠ2đ } . Now, using Definition 4 and Conditions (i) and (ii), we get the desired result. This completes the proof of the theorem. đšđ (đ) := where đđ (đĽ) 2 óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨ óľ¨ + óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đ (đĽ)óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨đđ (1; đĽ) − 1óľ¨óľ¨óľ¨ . (35) (34) đšđ (cos đĄ; đĽ) = ( đ ) cos đĽ, đ+1 đšđ (sin đĄ; đĽ) = ( đ ) sin đĽ. đ+1 (37) Note that the Theorems II, A, and B hold for the sequence (đšđ ). In fact, we have for every đ ∈ đś2đ (R), lim đš đ→∞ đ (đ) = đ. (38) Let đ´ = (đđđ ), đľ = (đđđ ), and đĽ = (đĽđ ) be defined as in Example 2. Let đż đ : đś2đ (R) → đś2đ (R) be defined by đż đ (đ; đĽ) = đĽđ đšđ (đ; đĽ) . (39) Then đĽ is not statistically convergent, not đ´-statistically convergent, and not statistically đ´-summable, but it is đľstatistically đ´−summable to 1. Since đĽ is đľ-statistically đ´summable to 1, it is easy to see that the operator đż đ satisfies the conditions (19), and hence Theorem 3 holds. But on the other hand, Theorems II, A, and B do not hold for our operator defined by (39), since đĽ (and so đż đ ) is not statistically convergent, not đ´-statistically convergent, and not statistically đ´-summable. Hence our Theorem 3 is stronger than all the above three theorems.
