1 Introduction
Recently, in 1997, Phillips [1] used theq-integers in approximation theory where it is
con-sideredq-based generalization of classical Bernstein polynomials It was obtained by
re-placing the binomial expansion with the general one, theq-binomial expansion Phillips
has obtained the rate of convergence and Voronovskaja-type asymptotic formulae for these new Bernstein operators based onq-integers Later, some results are established in
due course by Phillips et al (see [2,3,1]) In [4], Barbasu gave Stancu-type generaliza-tion of these operators and II‘inskii and Ostrovska [5] studied their different convergence properties Also some results on the statistical and ordinary approximation of functions
by Meyer-K¨onig and Zeller operators based onq-integers can be found in [6,7], respec-tively
In [8], Bleimann, Butzer, and Hahn introduced the following operators:
B n(f )(x) = 1
(1 +x) n
n
k =0
f
k
n − k + 1
n k
x k, x > 0, n ∈ N (1.1)
Trang 2There are several studies related to approximation properties of Bleimann, Butzer, and Hahn operators (or, briefly, BBH) There are many approximating operators that their Korovkin-type approximation properties and rates of convergence are investigated The results involving Korovkin-type approximation properties can be found in [9] with de-tails In [10], Gadjiev and C¸akar gave a Korovkin-type theorem using the test function (t/(1 + t)) νforν =0, 1, 2 Some generalization of the operators (1.1) were given in [11–
13]
In this paper, we derive aq-integers-type modification of BBH operators that we call q-BBH operators and investigate their Korovkin-type approximation properties by using
the test function (t/(1 + t)) νforν =0, 1, 2 Also, we define a space of generalized Lipschitz-type maximal function and give a pointwise estimation Then, a Stancu-Lipschitz-type formula of the remainder ofq-BBH is given We will also give a generalization of these new
oper-ators and study the approximation properties of this generalization We emphasis that while Bernstein and Meyer-K¨onig and Zeller operators based onq-integers depend on a
function defined on a bounded interval, these new operators are defined on unbounded intervals Also, these new operators are more flexible than classical BBH operators That
is, depending on the selection ofq, rate of convergence of the q-BBH operators is better
than the classical one
2 Construction of the operators
We first start by recalling some definitions aboutq-integers denoted by [ ·].
For any fixed real numberq > 0 and nonnegative integer r, the q-integer of the number
r is defined by
[r] =
⎧
⎪
⎪
1− q r
1− q, q =1,
(2.1)
Also we have [0]=0.
Theq-factorial is defined in the following:
[r]! =
⎧
⎪
⎪
[r][r −1]···[1], r =1, 2, ,
(2.2)
andq-binomial coefficient is defined as
n r
= [n]!
for integersn ≥ r ≥0.
Also, let us recall the following Euler identity (see [14, page 293]):
n −1
k =0
1 +q k x
= n
k =0q k(k −1)/2
n k
Trang 3
It is clear that whenq =1, theseq-binomial coefficients reduce to ordinary binomial
coefficients
According to these explanations, similarly in [6], we define a new Bleimann-, Butzer-, and Hahn-type operators based onq-integers as follows:
L n(f ;x) = 1
n(x)
n
k =0f
k]
[n − k + 1]q k
q k(k −1)/2
n k
where
n(x) = n −1
s =0
1 +q s x
(2.6)
and f is defined on semiaxis [0, ∞).
Note that taking f ([k]/[n − k + 1]) instead of f ([k]/[n − k + 1]q k) in (2.5), we obtain usual generalization of Bleimann, Butzer, and Hahn operators based onq-integers But in
this case, it is impossible to obtain explicit expressions for the monomialst νand (t/(1 + t)) νforν =1, 2 If we define the Bleimann-, Butzer-, and Hahn-type operators as in (2.5), then we can obtain explicit formulas for the monomials (t/(1 + t)) νforν =0, 1, 2
By a simple calculation, we have
q k[n − k + 1] =[n + 1] −[k], q[k −1]=[k] −1. (2.7) From (2.4), (2.5), and (2.7), we have

Remark 2.1 Note that if we choose q =1, then L n operators turn out into classical Bleimann, Butzer, and Hahn operators given by (1.1) Also similarly as in [1,6], to ensure that the convergence properties ofL n, we will assumeq = q nas a sequence such thatq n →1
asn →∞for 0< q n < 1.
3 Properties of the operators
In this section, we will give the theorems on uniform convergence and rate of convergence
of the operators (2.5) As in [10], for this purpose we give a space of functionω of the
type of modulus of continuity which satisfies the following conditions:
(a)ω is a nonnegative increasing function on [0, ∞),
(b)ω(δ1+δ2)≤ ω(δ1) +ω(δ2),
(c) limδ →0ω(δ) =0,
andH ωis the subspace of real-valued function and satisfies the following condition For anyx, y ∈[0,∞),
f (x) − f (y) ≤ ω
1 +x x − y
1 +y
AlsoH ω ⊂ C B[0,∞), whereC B[0,∞) is the space of functions f which is continuous and
bounded on [0,∞) endowed with norm f C B =supx ≥0| f (x) |
It is easy to show that from condition (b), the functionω satisfies the inequality
and from condition (a) forλ > 0, we have
ω(λδ) ≤ ω
1 + [| λ |]
δ
where [| λ |] is the greatest integer ofλ.
Remark 3.1 The operator L nmapsH ωintoC B[0,∞) and it is continuous with respect to supnorm
The properties of linear positive operators acting fromH ωtoC B[0,∞) and Korovkin-type theorems for them have been studied by Gadjiev and C¸akar who have established the following theorem (see [10])
Trang 5Theorem 3.2 If A n is the sequence of positive linear operators acting from H ω to C B[0,∞)
and satisfying the following condition for υ = 0, 1, 2:
A n
t

υ (x) −
x
1 +x

C B
−→0, forn −→ ∞, (3.4)
then, for any function f in H ω , one has
A n f − f
Theorem 3.3 Let q = q n satisfies 0 < q n < 1 and let q n → 1 as n →∞ If L n is defined by ( 2.5 ), then for any f ∈ H ω ,
lim
n →∞L n f − f
Proof UsingTheorem 3.2, we see that it is sufficient to verify the following three condi-tions:
lim

From (2.8), the first condition of (3.7) is fulfilled forυ =0 Now it is easy to see that from

and since [n + 1] →∞, q n →1 asn →∞, condition (3.7) holds forυ =1.
To verify this condition forυ =2, consider (2.10) We see that

. (3.11) This means that condition (3.7) holds also forυ =2 and the proof is completed by the
Trang 6Theorem 3.4 Let q = q n satisfies 0 < q n < 1 and let q n → 1 as n →∞ If L n is defined by ( 2.5 ), then for each x ≥ 0 and for any f ∈ H ω , the following inequality:
L n(f ;x) − f (x) ≤2ω
μ n(x)
(3.12)
holds, where
μ n(x) =

L n(f ;x) − f (x) ≤ L nf (t) − f (x);x
On the other hand, from (3.1) and (3.3),
f (t) − f (x) ≤ ω
1 +t t − x
1 +x
≤
1 +t/(1 + t) − x/(1 + x)

where we chooseλ = δ −1| t/(1 + t) − x/(1 + x) | This inequality and (3.14) imply that
L n(f ;x) − f (x) ≤ ω(δ)

By choosingδ = μ n(x) = L n(| t/(1 + t) − x/(1 + x) |2

Remark 3.5 Using (3.13) and taking into consideration [n −1]q n+ 1=[n] and [n + 1] −
[n] = q n < 1, then we have that

(3.18)
holds forn large enough Thus, if the assumptions ofTheorem 3.4hold, then, depending
on the selection ofq n, the rate of convergence of the operators (2.5) to f is 1/[n + 1]2that
is better than 1/(n + 1)2, which is the rate of convergence of the BBH operators Indeed,
if we takeq n =1−1/(n + 2), since lim n →∞ q n = e −1, the rate of convergence of q-BBH
operators to f is exactly of order (1 − q n)2=1/(n + 2)2that is better than 1/(n + 1)2.
Trang 7Now we will give an estimate concerning the rate of convergence as given in [13,15,
16] We define the space of general Lipschitz-type maximal functions onE ⊂[0,∞) by
W α,E ∼ as
W α,E ∼ =
f : sup(1 + x) α f α(x, y) ≤ M 1
(1 +y) a,x ≥0, y ∈ E
where f is bounded and continuous on [0, ∞),M is a positive constant, 0 < α ≤1, andf α
is the following function:
f α(x,t) =f (t) − f (x)
Also, letd(x,E) be the distance between x and E, that is,
d(x,E) =inf
| x − y |;y ∈ E
Theorem 3.6 If L n is defined by ( 2.5 ), then for all f ∈ W α,E ∼ we have
L
n(f ;x) − f (x) ≤ M
μ α/2
n (x) + 2
d(x,E)α
where μ n(x) defined in ( 3.13 ).
Proof Let E denote the closure of the set E Then there exists an x0 ∈ E such that
| x − x0| = d(x,E), where x ∈[0,∞) Thus, we can write
f − f (x) ≤ f − f
x0 +f
x0
SinceL nis a positive and linear operator andf ∈ W α,E ∼ by using above inequality, then we have
L n(f ;x) − f (x) ≤ L nf − f

As a particular case ofTheorem 3.6, whenE =[0,∞), the following is true
Corollary 3.7 If f ∈ W α,[0, ∼ ∞), then one has
L n(f ;x) − f (x) ≤ Mμ α/2 n (x), (3.28)
where μ n(x) is defined in ( 3.13 ).
In the following theorem, a Stancu-type formula for the remainder ofq-BBH
opera-tors is obtained which reduce to the formula of remainder of classical BBH operaopera-tors (see [17, page 151]) Similar formula is obtained forq-Szasz Mirakyan operators in [18] Here, [x0,x1, ,x n;f ] denotes the divided difference of the function f with respect to
distinct points in the domain of f and can be expressed as the following formula:
x0,x1, ,x n;f

Theorem 3.8 If x ∈(0,∞)\ {[k]/[n − k + 1]q k | k =0, 1, 2, ,n } , then the following iden-tity holds:

[n − k]q k+1 − [k]
[n − k + 1]q k = [n + 1]
[n − k][n − k + 1]q k+1, (3.35)
we have the following formula for divided differences:

and therefore, we obtain that the remainder formula forq-BBH can be written as (3.30)
We know that a function is convex on an interval if and only if all second-order di-vided differences of f are nonnegative From this property andTheorem 3.8, we have the following result

In this section, similarly as in [13], we will define some generalization of the operators

[k] + b n,k = c n, [n]
c n −→1, forn −→ ∞ (4.2)
It is easy to check that if b n,k =[n − k + 1]q k+β for any n,k and 0 < q < 1, then c n =
[n + 1] + β and these operators turn out into Stancu-type generalization of Bleimann,
Butzer, and Hahn operators based onq-integers (see [19]) If we chooseγ =0 andq =1, then the operators become the special case of Bal´azs-type generalization of the operators (1.1), which is given in [13]
Theorem 4.1 Let q = q n satisfies 0 < q n ≤ 1 and let q n → 1 as n →∞ If f ∈ W α,[0, ∼ ∞), then
