1 Introduction
In recent years, many researches focused their attention on the study of a generalized version in q-calculus of the well-known linear and positive operators [1–6]. Lupaş [7] initiated in 1987 the convergence of Bernstein operators based on q-integers and in 1996 another generalization of these operators was introduced by Philips [8]. Also, in [9], Agratini introduced a new class of q-Bernstein-type operators, which fix certain polynomials. More results on q-Bernstein polynomials were obtained by Ostrovska [10]. Muraru [11] proposed and studied some approximation properties of the q-Bernstein-Schurer operators. In [12], Ren and Zeng introduced a modified version of the q-Bernstein-Schurer operators and investigated the statistical approximation properties. The Kantorovich-type generalization of these operators was given in [13] by Özarslan and Vedi. In [14], Agrawal et al. introduced a Stancu-type generalization of the Bernstein-Schurer operators based on q-integer. They obtained the rate of convergence of these operators in terms of the modulus of continuity and by a Voronovskaja-type theorem. Many generalizations and applications of the Stancu operators were considered in the last years [15–17]. The goal of the present paper is to study some approximation properties of the q-analog of the Stancu-Kantorovich operators.
Before proceeding, we mention some basic definitions and notations from q-calculus. Let \(q>0\). For each nonnegative integer k, the q-integer \([k]_{q}\) and q-factorial \([k]_{q}!\) are defined by
respectively.
For the integers n, k satisfying \(n\geq k\geq0\), the q-binomial coefficients are defined by
We denote \((a+b)_{q}^{k}=\prod_{j=0}^{k-1}(a+bq^{j})\).
The q-Jackson integral on the interval \([0,b]\) is defined as
provided that the sums converge absolutely. Suppose that \(0< a< b\). The q-Jackson integral on the interval \([a,b]\) is defined as
The Riemann-type q-integral (see [18]) is defined by
The classical Stancu-Kantorovich operators \(S_{n}^{(\alpha,\beta)}\), \(n=1,2,\ldots\) , are defined by
where \(p_{n,k}(x)= {\binom{n}{k}}x^{k}(1-x)^{n-k}\) and \(0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\).
In [19], Ren and Zeng introduced two kinds of Kantorovich-type q-Bernstein-Stancu operators. The first version is defined using the q-Jackson integral as follows:
where \(f\in C[0,1]\) and \(p_{n,k}(q;x)=\bigl [{\scriptsize\begin{matrix}{} n \cr k\end{matrix}} \bigr ]_{q}x^{k}(1-x)_{q}^{n-k}\).
To guarantee the positivity of the q-Bernstein-Stancu-Kantorovich operators, in [19] \(S_{n,q}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(f;x)\) is redefined by putting the Riemann-type q-integral into the operators instead of the q-Jackson integral as
These operators verify the following.
Lemma 1.1
([19])
For \(\tilde{S}_{n,q}^{(\alpha,\beta)}\), \(0< q<1\), and \(0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\), we have
-
(i)
$$\tilde{S}_{n,q}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(1;x)=1, $$
-
(ii)
$$\tilde{S}_{n,q}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(t;x)= \frac{2q[n]_{q}}{[2]_{q} ([n+1]_{q}+\beta )}x+ \frac{1+[2]_{q}\alpha}{[2]_{q} ([n+1]_{q}+\beta )}, $$
-
(iii)
$$\begin{aligned} \tilde{S}_{n,q}^{\alpha,\beta)}\bigl(t^{2};x\bigr)={}& \frac{q[n]_{q}[n-1]_{q}}{ ([n+1]_{q}+\beta )^{2}} \biggl(1+ \frac{2(q-1)}{[2]_{q}}+\frac{(q-1)^{2}}{[3]_{q}} \biggr)x^{2} + \frac{[n]_{q}}{([n+1]_{q}+\beta)^{2}}\\ &{}\cdot \biggl(1+2\alpha+\frac{2(q-1)(1+\alpha)}{[2]_{q}} + \frac{2}{[2]_{q}}+\frac{2(q-1)}{[3]_{q}}+\frac {(q-1)^{2}}{[3]_{q}} \biggr)x \\ &{}+ \frac{1}{([n+1]_{q}+\beta)^{2}} \biggl(\frac{1}{[3]_{q}}+\frac{2\alpha }{[2]_{q}}+ \alpha^{2} \biggr). \end{aligned}$$
In [20], Mahmudov and Sabancigil introduced a q-type generalization of the Bernstein-Kantorovich operators as follows:
where \(f\in C[0,1]\) and \(0< q\leq1\). In [21], inspired by (1.4) we introduced a q-type generalization of the Stancu-Kantorovich operators as follows:
where \(0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\) and \(f\in C[0,1]\).
Lemma 1.2
([21])
For all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), \(x\in [0,1]\), and \(0< q\leq 1\), we have
Lemma 1.3
([21])
For all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), \(x\in[0,1]\), and \(0< q\leq 1\), we have
where C is a positive absolute constant.
Also, in [21] a Voronovskaja-type theorem for the \(S_{n,q}^{*(\alpha,\beta)}\) was established.
Theorem 1.4
([21])
Let \(f^{\prime\prime}\in C[0,1]\), \(q_{n}\in (0,1)\), \(q_{n}\to1\), and \(q_{n}^{n}\to a\), \(a\in[0,1)\) as \(n\to\infty\). Then we have
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we prove a Voronovskaja-type asymptotic formula for \(\tilde{S}_{n,q}^{\alpha,\beta}\). In Section 3 we establish some approximation properties of the q-Stancu-Kantorovich operators \(\tilde{S}_{n,q}^{\alpha,\beta}\) and \({S}_{n,q}^{*\alpha,\beta}\). In the final section we give statistical approximation results for the q-Stancu-Kantorovich operators.
2 A Voronovskaya theorem for q-Stancu-Kantorovich operators
In this section we shall establish a Voronovskaja-type theorem for the q-Stancu-Kantorovich operators \(\tilde{S}_{n,q}^{(\alpha,\beta)}\). First, we need the auxiliary result contained in the following lemma.
Lemma 2.1
Assume that \(0< q_{n}<1\), \(q_{n}\to1\), and \(q_{n}^{n}\to a\), \(a\in[0,1)\) as \(n\to\infty\). Then we have
Proof
To prove the lemma we use the formulas for \(\tilde{S}_{n,q_{n}}^{(\alpha ,\beta)}(t^{i},x)\), \(i=0,1,2\), given in Lemma 1.1. We have
□
The main result of this section is the following Voronovskaja-type theorem.
Theorem 2.2
Let \(f^{\prime\prime}\in C[0,1]\), \(q_{n}\in(0,1)\), \(q_{n}\to1 \), and \(q_{n}^{n}\to a\), \(a\in[0,1)\) as \(n\to\infty\). Then we have
Proof
From the Taylor theorem, we have
where ξ lies between t and x.
Applying \(\tilde{S}_{n,q_{n}}^{(\alpha,\beta)}\) on both sides of (2.1), we obtain
For all \(x,t\in[0,1]\), \(| f^{\prime\prime}(\xi)-f^{\prime\prime}(x)|\leq \omega_{f^{\prime\prime}}(\delta) (1+ \frac{(t-x)^{2}}{\delta^{2}} ) \) for any \(\delta>0\). Therefore, it follows that
Let \(B_{n,q}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(f,x)= \sum_{k=0}^{n}p_{n,k}(q;x)f (\frac{[k]_{q}+\alpha}{[n]_{q}+\beta} )\) be q-Bernstein-Stancu operators. It follows that
From [14], Corrollary 1, we have \(B_{n,q}^{(\alpha,\beta)}((t-x)^{r},x)=O (\frac{1}{[n]_{q}^{[\frac{r+1}{2}]}} )\), where \(x\in[0,1]\) and \([\alpha]\) denotes the integer part of α. Also, we have
Therefore
In view of the Lemma 2.1 and the relation (2.4), we have
Choosing \(\delta=[n]_{q_{n}}^{-1/2}\), we get
Hence
In view of Lemma 2.1, we obtain
□
3 Approximation properties of q-Stancu-Kantorovich operators
Recall that the first and second modulus of continuity of \(f\in C[0,1]\) are defined, respectively, by
and
Let us consider the following K-functional:
It is well known (see [22]) that there exists an absolute constant \(C>0\) such that
Denote \(a_{n}= \frac{2q}{[2]_{q}}\frac{[n]_{q}}{[n+1]_{q}+\beta}\), \(b_{n}= \frac{\alpha}{[n+1]_{q}+\beta}+\frac{1}{[2]_{q}([n+1]_{q}+\beta)}\), \(\delta_{n}(x)=x(1-x)+ \frac{1}{[n]_{q}}\), \(\nu(\alpha,\beta,x)=(2\alpha^{2}+2\beta^{2}+2\alpha+4) \frac{[n+1]_{q}^{2}}{([n+1]_{q}+\beta)^{2}} \frac{1}{[n]_{q}}\delta_{n}(x)\), \(\tilde{\nu}(\alpha,\beta,x)=(2\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}+4\alpha+4) \frac{[n]_{q}}{([n]_{q}+\beta)^{2}}\delta_{n}(x)\).
Theorem 3.1
There exists an absolute constant \(C>0\) such that
where \(f\in C[0,1]\) and \(0< q<1\).
Proof
Let
Using the Taylor formula
it follows that
Therefore
Using the above relation we obtain
and using (3.1) the theorem is proved. □
Theorem 3.2
There exists an absolute constant \(C>0\) such that
where \(f\in C[0,1]\) and \(0< q<1\).
Proof
We have
Let \(B_{n,k}^{(\alpha,\beta)}\) be q-Bernstein-Stancu operators. From [14], Lemma 1 and Lemma 4 the following properties of the q-Bernstein-Stancu operators hold:
Therefore
Let
Using the Taylor formula (3.3) it follows that
Therefore
Using the above relation we obtain
and using (3.1) the theorem is proved. □
In order to start the next result we need the second order Ditzian-Totik modulus [22] defined by
in which \(\Phi:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}\) is an admissible step-weight function.
The weighted K-functional of second order for \(f\in C[0,1]\) is defined by
where
and
It is well known that the K-functional \(K_{2,\Phi}(f,\delta)\) and the Ditzian-Totik modulus \(\omega_{2,\Phi}(f,\sqrt{\delta})\) are equivalent (see [22]).
Denote
Theorem 3.3
Let Φ be an admissible step-weight function of the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness such that \(\Phi^{2}\) is concave and \(\Phi\ne0\). Then there exists an absolute constant \(C>0\) such that
where \(f\in C[0,1]\), \(0< q<1\), and \(\psi(x)=(2+[2]_{q}\beta)x+[2]_{q}\alpha +1\), \(x\in[0,1]\).
Proof
Applying the operators \({T}_{n,q}^{*(\alpha,\beta)}\) defined in (3.2) to Taylor’s formula in a similar way to the proof of Theorem 3.1 we obtain
Let \(s=\tau x+(1-\tau)t\), \(\tau\in[0,1]\). Since \(\Phi^{2}\) is concave on \([0,1]\) it follows that
and
Therefore
Using the above relation we obtain
Also, we have
Therefore
Using the equivalence of the K-functional and the Ditzian-Totik modulus we get the desired estimate. □
In a similar way can be obtained the following result for the q-Stancu-Kantorovich operators \(\tilde{S}_{n,q}^{(\alpha,\beta)}\).
Theorem 3.4
Let Φ be an admissible step-weight function of the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness such that \(\Phi^{2}\) is concave and \(\Phi\ne0\). Then there exists an absolute constant \(C>0\) such that
where \(f\in C[0,1]\), \(0< q<1\), and \(\psi(x)=(2+[2]_{q}\beta)x+[2]_{q}\alpha +1\), \(x\in[0,1]\).
4 Statistical approximation of Korovkin type
The concept of statistical convergence was introduced by Fast [23] and Steinhaus [24] and recently has become an important area in approximation theory. The goal of this section is to obtain the statistical convergence properties of the Stancu-Kantorovich operators (1.3) and (1.5).
Let set \(K\subseteq N\) and \(K_{n}=\{k\leq n;k\in K\}\), the natural density of K is defined by \(\delta(K):= \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n}|K_{n}|\) if the limit exists, where \(|K_{n}|\) denote the cardinality of the set \(K_{n}\).
A sequence \(x=\{{x_{n}}\}\) is called statistically convergent to a number L, if for every \(\epsilon>0\), \(\delta\{k\in N: |x_{k}-L|\geq\epsilon\}=0\). This convergence is denoted as \(\mbox{st-}\!\lim_{k}x_{k}=L\).
In [25] Gadjiev and Orhan proved the following Bohman-Korovkin-type approximation theorem for statistical convergence.
Theorem 4.1
([25])
If the sequence of positive linear operators \(A_{n}:C[a,b]\to C[a,b] \) satisfies the conditions \(\textit{st-}\!\lim_{n}\|A_{n}(e_{i})-e_{i}\|_{C[a,b]}=0\) with \(e_{i}(t)=t^{i}\), \(i=0,1,2\), then for any function \(f\in C[a,b]\) we have
Theorem 4.2
Let \((q_{n})\), \(0< q_{n}<1\) be a sequence that satisfies \(\textit{st-}\!\lim_{n}q_{n}=1\), \(\textit{st-}\!\lim_{n}q_{n}^{n}=a\in(0,1)\). Then for all \(f\in C[0,1]\) we have
Proof
It is necessary to prove \(\mbox{st-}\!\lim_{n}\|S_{n,q_{n}}^{*(\alpha,\beta)}(e_{i},\cdot)-e_{i}\|_{C[0,1]}=0\), for \(i=0,1,2\), and the proof follows from Theorem 4.1. For the first equality it is clear from Lemma 1.2 that
For the second equality we have
We denote \(\nu_{n}=\vert \frac{2q_{n}}{[2]_{q}}\cdot\frac{[n]_{q}}{[n+1]_{q}+\beta}-1\vert \) and \(\mu_{n}= \frac{\alpha}{[n+1]_{q}+\beta}+ \frac{1}{[2]_{q} ([n+1]_{q}+\beta )}\).
From \(\mbox{st-}\!\lim_{n}q_{n}=1\) and \(\mbox{st-}\!\lim_{n}q_{n}^{n}=a\in(0,1)\) we have
Now, for a given \(\epsilon>0\), we define the following sets:
It is obvious that \(A\subseteq A_{1}\cup A_{2}\), which implies that \(\delta(A)\leq \delta(A_{1})+\delta(A_{2})\). From (4.2) we find that the right hand side of the above inequality is zero and we get finally
In a similar way it can be proved that
From (4.1), (4.3), and (4.4), the statement of our theorem follows from the Korovkin-type statistical approximation theorem. □
A statistical approximation property of the q-Kantorovich-Stancu operators \(\tilde{S}^{(\alpha,\beta)}\) is obtained in the following theorem.
Theorem 4.3
Let \((q_{n})\), \(0< q_{n}<1\) be a sequence that satisfies \(\textit{st-}\!\lim_{n}q_{n}=1\), \(\textit{st-}\!\lim_{n}q_{n}^{n}=a\in(0,1)\). Then for all \(f\in C[0,1]\) we have
