1 Introduction

Gupta et al.[1] introduced discrete q-Beta operators as follows:

V n , q ( f ( t ) ; x ) = V n (f;q;x)= 1 [ n ] q k = 0 p n , k (q;x)f ( [ k ] q [ n + 1 ] q q k 1 ) ,
(1.1)

where

p n , k (q;x)= q k ( k 1 ) / 2 B q ( k + 1 , n ) x k ( 1 + x ) q n + k + 1 .

In the above paper, Gupta et al.[1] introduced and studied some approximation properties of these operators.They also obtained some global direct error estimates for the above operators usingthe second-order Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness and defined and studied thelimit discrete q-Beta operator. Also, they gave the following equalities:

V n ( 1 ; q ; x ) = 1 , V n ( t ; q ; x ) = x for every  n N and V n ( t 2 ; q ; x ) = ( 1 q [ n + 1 ] q + 1 ) x 2 + x [ n + 1 ] q .

In the recent years, applications of q-calculus in approximation theory isone of the interesting areas of research. Several authors have proposed theq analogues of Kantorovich-type modification of different linearpositive operators and studied their statistical approximation behaviors.

In 1974, Khan [2] studied approximation of functions in various classes using differenttypes of operators.

On the other hand, statistical convergence was first introduced by Fast [3], and it has become an area of active research. Also, statisticalconvergence was introduced by Gadjiev and Orhan [4], Doğru [5], Duman [6], Gupta and Radu [7], Ersan and Doğru [8] and Doğru and Örkcü [9].

In 2011, Örkcü and Doğru obtained weighted statistical approximationproperties of Kantorovich-type q-Szász-Mirakjan operators [10].

Recently, Doğru and Kanat [11] defined the Kantorovich-type modification of Lupas operators as follows:

R ˜ n (f;q;x)=[n+1] k = 0 n ( [ k ] / [ n + 1 ] [ k + 1 ] / [ n + 1 ] f ( t ) d q t ) ( n k ) q k q k ( k 1 ) / 2 x k ( 1 x ) n k ( 1 x + q x ) ( 1 x + q n 1 x ) .
(1.2)

In [11], Doğru and Kanat proved the following statistical Korovkin-typeapproximation theorem for operators (1.2).

Theorem 1 Letq:=( q n ), 0<q<1, be a sequence satisfying the followingconditions:

st- lim n q n =1,st- lim n q n n =a(a<1)andst- lim n 1 [ n ] =0,
(1.3)

then if f is any monotone increasing function defined on[0,1], for the positive linear operator R ˜ n (f;q;x), then

st- lim n R ˜ n ( f ; q ; ) f C [ 0 , 1 ] =0

holds.

In [5], Doğru gave some example so that ( q n ) is statistically convergent to 1 in ordinary case.Throughout the present paper, we consider 0<q<1. Following [12, 13], for each non-negative integer n, we have

[ n ] q = { 1 q n 1 q , q 1 , n , q = 1 , [ n ] q ! = { [ n ] q [ n 1 ] q [ n 2 ] q [ 1 ] q , n = 1 , 2 , , 1 , n = 0 ,

and

( n k ) q = [ n ] q ! [ k ] q ! [ n k ] q ! .

Further, we use the q-Pochhammer symbol, which is defined as

( 1 + x ) q n = j = 0 n 1 ( 1 + q j x ) .

The q-derivative D q f of a function f is defined by

( D q f)(x)= f ( x ) f ( q x ) ( 1 q ) x if x0.

The q-Jackson integral is defined as (see [14])

0 b f(x) d q x=(1q)b n = 0 f ( b q n ) q n ,0<q<1,
(1.4)

and over a general interval [a,b], one defines

a b f(x) d q x= 0 b f(x) d q x 0 a f(x) d q x.
(1.5)

Now, let us consider the following Kantorovich-type modification of discreteq-Beta operators for each positive integer n andq(0,1):

V n (f;q;x)= [ n + 1 ] q [ n ] q k = 0 ( [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q f ( t ) d q t ) p n , k ( q ; x ) q 2 k 1 ,
(1.6)

where f is a continuous and non-decreasing function on the interval[0,), x[0,).

It is seen that the operators V n are linear from the definition ofq-integral, and since f is a non-decreasing function,q-integral is positive, so V n are positive.

To obtain the statistical convergence of operators (1.6), we need the following basicresult.

2 Basic result

Lemma 1 The following equalities hold:

  1. (i)

    V n (1;q;x)=1,

  2. (ii)

    V n (t;q;x)=x+ q [ 2 ] q [ n + 1 ] q ,

  3. (iii)

    V n ( t 2 ;q;x)= q n 2 [ n + 2 ] q x 2 [ n + 1 ] q x 2 +( q n 1 [ n + 1 ] q + ( 2 q + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q [ 3 ] q )x+ q [ n + 1 ] q 2 [ 3 ] q .

Proof By using (1.4), (1.5) and the equality [ k + 1 ] q =1+ [ k ] q , we have

[ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q d q t= q k [ n + 1 ] q ,
(2.1)
[ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q t d q t= q k [ n + 1 ] q 2 ( [ k ] q + 1 [ 2 ] q ) ,
(2.2)
[ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q t 2 d q t= q k [ n + 1 ] q 3 ( [ k ] q 2 + 2 q + 1 [ 3 ] q [ k ] q + 1 [ 3 ] q ) .
(2.3)

Hence, by using V n (1;q;x)=1 and (2.2), we get

V n (1;q;x)=1.

Similarly, using (2.2), V n (1;q;x)=1 and V n (t;q;x)=x, we obtain

V n ( t ; q ; x ) = V n ( t ; q ; x ) + V n ( 1 ; q ; x ) q [ n + 1 ] q 2 [ 3 ] q = x + q [ 2 ] q [ n + 1 ] q .

Finally, using (2.3), V n (1;q;x)=1, V n (t;q;x)=x and V n ( t 2 ;q;x)=( 1 q [ n + 1 ] q +1) x 2 + x [ n + 1 ] q , we obtain

V n ( t ; q ; x ) = q n 1 V n ( t 2 ; q ; x ) + ( 2 q + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q [ 3 ] q V n ( t , q ; x ) + q [ n + 1 ] q 2 [ 3 ] q V n ( 1 , q ; x ) = q n 2 [ n + 2 ] q [ n + 1 ] q x 2 + ( q n 1 [ n + 1 ] q + ( 2 q + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q [ 3 ] q ) x + q [ n + 1 ] q 2 [ 3 ] q .

 □

Remark 1 From Lemma 1, we have

α n ( x ) = V n ( t x ; q ; x ) = q [ 2 ] q [ n + 1 ] q , δ n ( x ) = V n ( ( t x ) 2 ; q ; x ) = V n ( t 2 ; q ; x ) 2 x V n ( t ; q ; x ) + x 2 = ( q n 2 [ n + 2 ] q [ n + 1 ] q 1 ) x 2 + ( q n 1 [ n + 1 ] q + ( 2 q + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q [ 3 ] q 2 q [ n + 1 ] q [ 2 ] q ) x + q [ n + 1 ] q 2 [ 3 ] q .

Remark 2 If we put q=1, we get the moments of Kantorovich-type modificationof discrete beta operators as

V n ( t ; 1 ; x ) = x + 1 2 ( n + 1 ) , V n ( t 2 ; 1 ; x ) = ( n + 2 ) ( n + 1 ) x 2 + 2 x ( n + 1 ) + 1 3 ( n + 1 ) 2 , V n ( t x ; 1 ; x ) = 1 2 ( n + 1 ) ,

and

V n ( ( t x ) 2 ; 1 ; x ) = V n ( t 2 ; 1 ; x ) 2 x V n ( t ; 1 ; x ) + x 2 = x 2 ( n + 1 ) + x ( n + 1 ) + 1 3 ( n + 1 ) 2 .

3 Korovkin-type statistical approximation properties

The study of Korovkin-type statistical approximation theory is a well-establishedarea of research, which deals with the problem of approximating a function with thehelp of a sequence of positive linear operators (see [9, 15, 16] for details). The usual Korovkin theorem is devoted to approximation bypositive linear operators on finite intervals. The main aim of this paper is toobtain the Korovkin-type statistical approximation properties of our operatorsdefined in (1.6), with the help of Theorem 1.

Let us recall the concept of a limit of a sequence extended to a statistical limit byusing the natural density δ of a set K of positive integers:

δ(K)= lim n 1 n {the number kn such that kK}

whenever the limit exists (see [17]). So, the sequence x=( x k ) is said to be statistically convergent to a numberL, meaning that for every ε>0,

δ { k : | x k L | ε } =0

and it is denoted by st- lim k x k =L.

In this part, we will use the notation f instead of f C [ 0 , μ ] for abbreviation.

Theorem 2 Letq=( q n )be a sequence satisfying (1.3) for0< q n 1and a Kantorovich-type modification of discrete q-Beta operators given by (1.6). Then, for anyfunctionfC[0,μ]C[0,)andx[0,μ][0,), whereμ>0, we have

st- lim n V n ( f ; q n ; ) f =0,

whereC[0,μ]denotes the space of all real bounded functions f which are continuous in[0,μ].

Proof Using V n (1; q n ;x)=1, it is clear that

st- lim n V n ( 1 ; q n ; x ) 1 =0.

Now, by Lemma 1(ii), we have

V n ( t ; q n ; x ) x = x + q n [ 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n x q n [ 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n .
(3.1)

For a given ε>0, we define the following sets:

U= { k : V n ( t ; q k ; x ) x ε }

and

U 1 = { k : q k [ 2 ] q k [ k + 1 ] q k ε } .

From (3.1), one can see that U U 1 . So, we get

δ { k n : V n ( t , q k ; x ) x ε } δ { k n : q k [ 2 ] q k [ k + 1 ] q k ε } .

By using (1.3), it is clear that

st- lim n ( q n [ 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n ) =0.

So,

δ { k n : q k [ 2 ] q k [ k + 1 ] q k ε } =0,

then

st- lim n V n ( t ; q n ; x ) x =0.

Finally, by Lemma 1(iii), we have

V n ( t 2 ; q n ; x ) x 2 = q n n 2 [ n + 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n x 2 + ( q n n 1 [ n + 1 ] q n + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q n [ 3 ] q n ) x + q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n x 2 | q n n 2 [ n + 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n 1 | μ 2 + | q n n 1 [ n + 1 ] q n + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q n [ 3 ] q n | μ + | q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n | = A 2 ( ( 1 q n 1 ) + 1 [ n + 1 ] q n ( q n n 2 + q n n 1 + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ 3 ] q n ) + q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n ) ,

where A 2 =max{ μ 2 ,μ,1}= μ 2 .

If we choose α n =( 1 q n 1), β n = 1 [ n + 1 ] q n ( q n n 2 + q n n 1 + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ 3 ] q n ), γ n = q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n , then one can write

st- lim n α n =st- lim n β n =st- lim n γ n =0,
(3.2)

by (1.3). Now, given ε>0, we define the following four sets:

S = { k : V n ( t 2 ; q k ; x ) x 2 ε A 2 } , S 1 = { k : α k ε 3 A 2 } , S 2 = { k : β k ε 3 A 2 } , S 3 = { k : γ k ε 3 A 2 } .

It is obvious that S S 1 S 2 S 3 . So, we get

δ { k n : V n ( t ; q k ; x ) x ε A 2 } δ { k n : α k ε 3 A 2 } + δ { k n : β k ε 3 A 2 } + δ { k n : γ k ε 3 A 2 } .

So, the right-hand side of the inequalities is zero by (3.2), then

st- lim n V n ( t 2 ; q n ; x ) x 2 =0.

So, the proof is completed. □

4 Weighted statistical approximation

Let B x 2 [0,) be the set of all functions f defined on[0,) satisfying the condition f(x) M f (1+ x 2 ), where M f is a constant depending only on f. By C x 2 [0,), we denote the subspace of all continuous functionsbelonging to B x 2 [0,). Also, let C x 2 [0,) be the subspace of all functionsf C x 2 [0,), for which lim x f ( x ) 1 + x 2 is finite. The norm on C x 2 [0,) is f x 2 = sup x [ 0 , ) | f ( x ) | 1 + x 2 .

Theorem 3 Letq=( q n )be a sequence satisfying (1.3) for0< q n 1. Then, for all nondecreasingfunctionsf C x 2 [0,), we have

st- lim n V n ( f ; q n ; ) f x 2 =0.

Proof As a consequence of Lemma 1, since V n ( x 2 ; q n ;x) C 1 x 2 , where C 1 is a positive constant, V n (f; q n ;x) is a sequence of linear positive operators actingfrom C x 2 [0,) to B x 2 [0,). Using V n (1; q n ;x)=1, it is clear that

st- lim n V n ( 1 ; q n ; x ) 1 x 2 =0.

Now, by Lemma 1(ii), we have

V n ( t ; q n ; x ) x x 2 = sup x [ 0 , ) | V n ( t ; q n ; x ) x | 1 + x 2 q n [ 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n .
(4.1)

By using (1.3), it is clear that

st- lim n ( q n [ 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n ) =0,

then

st- lim n V n ( t ; q n ; x ) x x 2 =0.

Finally, by Lemma 1(iii), we have

V n ( t 2 ; q n ; x ) x 2 x 2 ( q n n 2 [ n + 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n 1 ) sup x [ 0 , ) x 2 1 + x 2 + ( q n n 1 [ n + 1 ] q n + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q n [ 3 ] q n ) × sup x [ 0 , ) x 1 + x 2 + q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n ( q n n 2 [ n + 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n 1 ) + ( q n n 1 [ n + 1 ] q n + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q n [ 3 ] q n ) + q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n = ( 1 q n 1 ) + 1 [ n + 1 ] q n ( q n n 2 + q n n 1 + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ 3 ] q n ) + q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n .

If we choose α n =( 1 q n 1), β n = 1 [ n + 1 ] q n ( q n n 2 + q n n 1 + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ 3 ] q n ), γ n = q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n , then one can write

st- lim n α n =st- lim n β n =st- lim n γ n =0,
(4.2)

by (1.3). Now, given ε>0, we define the following four sets:

P = { k : V n ( t 2 ; q k ; x ) x 2 x 2 ε } , P 1 = { k : α k ε 3 } , P 2 = { k : β k ε 3 } , P 3 = { k : γ k ε 3 } .

It is obvious that P P 1 P 2 P 3 . So, we get

δ { k n : V n ( t ; q k ; x ) x x 2 ε } δ { k n : α k ε 3 } + δ { k n : β k ε 3 } + δ { k n : γ k ε 3 } .

So, the right-hand side of the inequalities is zero by (4.2), then

st- lim n V n ( t 2 ; q n ; x ) x 2 x 2 =0.

So, the proof is completed. □

5 Rates of statistical convergence

In this part, rates of statistical convergence of operator (1.6) by means of modulusof continuity and Lipschitz functions are introduced.

Lemma 2[15]

Let0<q<1anda[0,bq], b>0. The inequality

a b |tx| d q t ( a b | t x | 2 d q t ) 1 / 2 ( a b d q t ) 1 / 2

is satisfied.

Let C B [0,), the space of all bounded and continuous functions on[0,), and x0. Then, for δ>0, the modulus of continuity of f denoted byω(f;δ) is defined to be

ω(f;δ)= sup x δ t x + δ ; t [ 0 , ) | f ( t ) f ( x ) | .

Then it is known that lim δ 0 ω(f;δ)=0 for f C B [0,), and also, for any δ>0 and each t,x0, we have

| f ( t ) f ( x ) | ω(f;δ) ( 1 + | t x | δ ) .
(5.1)

Theorem 4 Let( q n )be a sequence satisfying (1.3). For every non-decreasingf C B [0,), x0andnN, we have

| V n ( f ; q n ; x ) f ( x ) | 2ω ( f ; δ n ( x ) ) ,

where

δ n ( x ) = ( q n n 2 [ n + 2 ] q n [ n + 1 ] q n 1 ) x 2 + ( q n n 1 [ n + 1 ] q n + ( 2 q n + 1 ) [ n + 1 ] q n [ 3 ] q n 2 q n [ n + 1 ] q n [ 2 ] q n ) x + q n [ n + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n .
(5.2)

Proof Let non-decreasing f C B [0,) and x0. Using linearity and positivity of the operators V n (f; q n ;x) and then applying (5.1), we get forδ>0 and nN that

| V n ( f ; q n ; x ) f ( x ) | V n ( | f ( t ) f ( x ) | ; q n ; x ) ω ( f ; δ ) { V n ( 1 ; q n ; x ) + 1 δ V n ( | t x | ; q n ; x ) } .

Taking into account V n (1; q n ;x)=1 and then applying Lemma 2 witha= [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q and b= [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q , we may write

| V n ( f ; q n ; x ) f ( x ) | ω ( f ; δ ) { 1 + 1 δ [ n + 1 ] q [ n ] q k = 0 p n , k ( q ; x ) q 2 k 1 ( [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q ( t x ) 2 d q t ) 1 / 2 × ( [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q d q t ) 1 / 2 } .

By using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we have

| V n ( f ; q n ; x ) f ( x ) | = ω ( f ; δ ) { 1 + 1 δ ( [ n + 1 ] q [ n ] q k = 0 p n , k ( q ; x ) q 2 k 1 [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q ( t x ) 2 d q t ) 1 / 2 × ( [ n + 1 ] q [ n ] q k = 0 p n , k ( q ; x ) q 2 k 1 [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q d q t ) 1 / 2 } ω ( f ; δ ) { 1 + 1 δ ( V n ( ( t x ) 2 ; q n ; x ) ) 1 / 2 ( V n ( 1 ; q n ; x ) ) 1 / 2 } .

Taking q= q n , a sequence satisfying (1.3), and using δ n (x)= V n ( ( t x ) 2 ; q n ;x) and then choosing δ= δ n (x) as in (5.2), the theorem is proved. □

Notice that by the conditions in (1.3), st- lim n δ n =0. By (5.1), we have

st- lim n ω(f; δ n )=0.

This gives us the pointwise rate of statistical convergence of the operators V n (f; q n ;x) to f(x).

Now we will study the rate of convergence of the operator V n (f; q n ;x) with the help of functions of the Lipschitz class Lip M (α), where M>0 and 0<α1. Recall that a function f C B [0,) belongs to Lip M (α) if the inequality

| f ( t ) f ( x ) | M | t x | α ;t,x[0,).

We have the following theorem.

Theorem 5 Let the sequenceq=( q n )satisfy the conditions given in (1.3), and letf Lip M (α), x0with0<α1. Then

| V n ( f ; q n ; x ) f ( x ) | M δ n α / 2 (x),
(5.3)

where δ n (x)is given as in (5.2).

Proof Since V n (f; q n ;x) are linear positive operators andf Lip M (α), on x0 with 0<α1, we can write

| V n ( f ; q n ; x ) f ( x ) | V n ( | f ( t ) f ( x ) | ; q n ; x ) M V n ( | t x | α ; q n ; x ) .

If we take p= 2 α , q= 2 2 α , applying Lemma 2 and Hölder’s inequality,we obtain

| V n ( f ; q n ; x ) f ( x ) | M [ n + 1 ] q [ n ] q k = 0 p n , k ( q ; x ) q 2 k 1 ( [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q ( t x ) 2 d q t ) α / 2 × ( [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q d q t ) ( 2 α ) / 2 } , | V n ( f ; q n ; x ) f ( x ) | = M ( [ n + 1 ] q [ n ] q k = 0 p n , k ( q ; x ) q 2 k 1 [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q ( t x ) 2 d q t ) α / 2 × ( [ n + 1 ] q [ n ] q k = 0 p n , k ( q ; x ) q 2 k 1 [ k ] q / [ n + 1 ] q [ k + 1 ] q / [ n + 1 ] q d q t ) ( 2 α ) / 2 M ( V n ( ( t x ) 2 ; q n ; x ) ) α / 2 ( V n ( 1 ; q n ; x ) ) ( 2 α ) / 2 M ( V n ( ( t x ) 2 ; q n ; x ) ) α / 2 .

Taking δ n (x)=( V n ( ( t x ) 2 ; q n ;x)), as in (5.2), we get the desiredresult. □

6 The construct of the bivariate operators of Kantorovich type

The purpose of this part is to give a representation for the bivariate operators ofKantorovich type (1.6), introduce the statistical convergence of the operators tothe function f and show the rate of statistical convergence of theseoperators.

For f:C([0,)×[0,))C([0,)×[0,)) and 0< q n 1 , q n 2 1, let us define the bivariate case of operators (1.6)as follows:

V n 1 , n 2 ( f ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) = [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 [ n 1 ] q n 1 [ n 2 ] q n 2 × k 1 = 0 k 2 = 0 ( [ k 1 ] q n 1 / [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 [ k 1 + 1 ] q n 1 / [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 [ k 2 ] q n 2 / [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 [ k 2 + 1 ] q n 2 / [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 f ( s , t ) d q n 1 s d q n 2 t ) × p n 1 , n 2 ( q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) q n 1 2 k 1 1 q n 2 2 k 2 1 ,
(6.1)

where

p n 1 , n 2 , k 1 , k 2 ( q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y)= q n 1 k 1 ( k 1 1 ) / 2 q n 2 k 2 ( k 2 1 ) / 2 B q n 1 ( k 1 + 1 , n 1 ) B q n 2 ( k 2 + 1 , n 2 ) x k 1 y k 2 ( 1 + x ) q n 1 n 1 + k 1 + 1 ( 1 + y ) q n 2 n 2 + k 2 + 1 .

In [18], Erkuş and Duman proved the statistical Korovkin-type approximationtheorem for the bivariate linear positive operators to the functions in space H ω 2 .

In 2006, Doğru and Gupta [19] introduced a bivariate generalization of the q-MKZ operators andinvestigated its Korovkin-type approximation properties.

Recently, Ersan and Doğru [8] obtained the statistical Korovkin-type theorem and lemma for thebivariate linear positive operators defined in the space H ω 2 as follows.

Theorem 6[8]

Let L n 1 , n 2 be the sequence of linear positive operators acting from H ω 2 ( R + 2 )into C B ( R + ), where R + =[0,). Then, for anyf H ω 2 ,

st- lim n 1 , n 2 L n 1 , n 2 ( f ) f =0.

Lemma 3[8]

The bivariate operators defined in[8]satisfy the following items:

  1. (i)

    L n 1 , n 2 ( f 0 ; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y)= q n 1 q n 2 ,

  2. (ii)

    L n 1 , n 2 ( f 1 ; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y)= q n 1 q n 2 [ n 1 ] q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 x 1 + x ,

  3. (iii)

    L n 1 , n 2 ( f 2 ; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y)= q n 1 q n 2 [ n 2 ] q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 y 1 + y ,

    L n 1 , n 2 ( f 3 ; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y) = q n 1 3 q n 2 [ n 1 ] q n 1 [ n 1 1 ] q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 2 x 2 ( 1 + x ) ( 1 + q n 1 x ) + q n 1 q n 2 [ n 1 ] q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 2 x 1 + x + q n 1 q n 2 3 [ n 2 ] q n 2 [ n 2 1 ] q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 2 y 2 ( 1 + y ) ( 1 + q n 2 y ) + q n 1 q n 2 [ n 2 ] q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 2 y 1 + y .

In order to obtain the statistical convergence of operator (6.1), we need thefollowing lemma.

Lemma 4 The bivariate operators defined in (6.1) satisfy the followingequalities:

  1. (i)

    V n 1 , n 2 ( f 0 ; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y)=1,

  2. (ii)

    V n 1 , n 2 ( f 1 ; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y)=x+ q n 1 [ 2 ] q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 ,

  3. (iii)

    V n 1 , n 2 ( f 2 ; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y)=y+ q n 2 [ 2 ] q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 ,

  4. (iv)

    V n 1 , n 2 ( f 3 ; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y) = q n 1 n 1 2 [ n 1 + 2 ] q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 x 2 + ( q n 1 n 1 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 + ( 2 q n 1 + 1 ) [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 [ 3 ] q n 1 )x + q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 2 [ 3 ] q n 1 + q n 2 n 2 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 y 2 + ( q n 2 n 2 1 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 + ( 2 q n 2 + 1 ) [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n 2 )y + q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 2 [ 3 ] q n 2 .

Proof By the help of the proofs for the bivariate operator in [20], the conditions may be easily obtained. So, the proof can be omitted.

Let q=( q n 1 ) and q=( q n 2 ) be the sequence that converges statistically to 1 butdoes not converge in ordinary sense, so for 0< q n 1 , q n 2 1, it can be written as

st- lim n 1 q n 1 =st- lim n 2 q n 2 =1.
(6.2)

Now, under the condition in (6.2), let us show the statistical convergence ofbivariate operator (6.1) with the help of the proof of Theorem 2. □

Theorem 7 Letq=( q n 1 )andq=( q n 2 )be a sequence satisfying (6.2) for0< q n 1 , q n 2 1, and let V n 1 , n 2 be a sequence of linear positive operators fromC(K)intoC(K)given by (1.6). Then, for any functionfC( K 1 × K 1 )C(K×K)andx K 1 × K 1 K×K, whereK=[0,)×[0,), K 1 =[0,μ]×[0,μ], we have

st- lim n 1 , n 2 V n 1 , n 2 ( f ) f C ( K 1 × K 1 ) =0.

Proof Using Lemma 4, the proof can be obtained similar to the proof ofTheorem 2. So, we shall omit this proof. □

7 Rates of convergence of bivariate operators

Let K=[0,)×[0,). Then the sup norm on C B (K) is given by

f= sup ( x , y ) K | f ( x , y ) | ,f C B (K).

We consider the modulus of continuity ω 2 (f; δ 1 , δ 2 ) for bivariate case given by δ 1 , δ 2 >0,

ω 2 (f; δ 1 , δ 2 )= { sup | f ( x , y ) f ( x , y ) | : ( x , y ) , ( x , y ) K  and  | x x | δ 1 , | y y | δ 2 } .

It is clear that a necessary and sufficient condition for a functionf C B (K) is

lim δ 1 , δ 2 0 ω(f; δ 1 , δ 2 )=0,

and ω(f; δ 1 , δ 2 ) satisfy the following condition:

| f ( x , y ) f ( x , y ) | ω(f; δ 1 , δ 2 ) ( 1 + | x x | δ 1 ) ( 1 + | y y | δ 2 )
(7.1)

for each f C B (K). Then observe that any function in C B (K) is continuous and bounded on K. Details ofthe modulus of continuity for bivariate case can be found in [21].

Now, the rate of statistical convergence of bivariate operator (6.1) by means ofmodulus of continuity in f C B (K) will be given in the following theorem.

Theorem 8 Letq=( q n 1 )andq=( q n 2 )be a sequence satisfying the condition in (6.2). So, wehave

| V n 1 , n 2 ( f ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) f ( x , y ) | 4ω(f; δ n 1 ( x ) , δ n 2 ( x ) ),

where

δ n 1 ( x ) = ( q n 1 n 1 2 [ n 1 + 2 ] q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 1 ) x 2 + ( q n 1 n 1 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 + ( 2 q n 1 + 1 ) [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 [ 3 ] q n 1 2 q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 [ 2 ] q n 1 ) x + q n 1 [ n 1 + 1 ] q n 1 2 [ 3 ] q n 1 ,
(7.2)
δ n 2 ( y ) = ( q n 2 n 2 2 [ n 2 + 2 ] q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 1 ) y 2 + ( q n 2 n 2 1 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 + ( 2 q n 2 + 1 ) [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 [ 3 ] q n 2 2 q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 [ 2 ] q n 2 ) y + q n 2 [ n 2 + 1 ] q n 2 2 [ 3 ] q n 2 .
(7.3)

Proof By using the condition in (7.1), we get for δ n 1 , δ n 2 >0 and nN that

| V n 1 , n 2 ( f ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) f ( x , y ) | V n 1 , n 2 ( | f ( x , y ) f ( x , y ) | ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) ω ( f ; δ n 1 ( x ) , δ n 2 ( x ) ) { V n 1 , n 2 ( f 0 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) + 1 δ n 1 V n ( | x x | ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) } × { V n 1 , n 2 ( f 0 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) + 1 δ n 2 V n ( | y y | ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) } .

If the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is applied, we have

V n ( | x x | ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) ( V n ( ( x x ) 2 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) ) 1 / 2 ( V n 1 , n 2 ( f 0 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) ) 1 / 2 .

So, if it is substituted in the above equation, the proof iscompleted. □

At last, the following theorem represents the rate of statistical convergence ofbivariate operator (6.1) by means of Lipschitz Lip M ( α 1 , α 2 ) functions for the bivariate case, wheref C B [0,) and M>0 and 0< α 1 1, 0< α 2 1, then let us define Lip M ( α 1 , α 2 ) as

| f ( x , y ) f ( x , y ) | M | x x | α 1 | y y | α 2 ;x, x ,y, y [0,).

We have the following theorem.

Theorem 9 Let the sequenceq=( q n 1 )andq=( q n 2 )satisfy the conditions given in (6.2), and letf Lip M ( α 1 , α 2 ), x0and0< α 1 1, 0< α 2 1. Then

| V n 1 , n 2 ( f ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) f ( x , y ) | M δ n 1 α 1 / 2 (x) δ n 2 α 2 / 2 (x),

where δ n 1 (x)and δ n 2 (x)are defined in (7.2), (7.3).

Proof Since V n 1 , n 2 (f; q n 1 , q n 2 ,x,y) are linear positive operators andf Lip M ( α 1 , α 2 ), x0 and 0< α 1 1, 0< α 2 1, we can write

| V n 1 , n 2 ( f ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) f ( x , y ) | V n 1 , n 2 ( | f ( x , y ) f ( x , y ) | ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) M V n 1 , n 2 ( | x x | α 1 | y y | α 2 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) = M V n 1 , n 2 ( | x x | α 1 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) × V n 1 , n 2 ( | y y | α 2 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) .

If we take p 1 = 2 α 1 , p 2 = 2 α 2 , q 1 = 2 2 α 1 , q 2 = 2 2 α 2 , applying Hölder’s inequality, we obtain

| V n 1 , n 2 ( f ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) f ( x , y ) | M ( V n 1 , n 2 ( x x ) 2 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) α 1 / 2 × ( V n 1 , n 2 ( f 0 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) ) 2 α 1 / 2 × ( V n 1 , n 2 ( ( y y ) α 2 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) α 2 / 2 × ( V n 1 , n 2 ( f 0 ; q n 1 , q n 2 , x , y ) ) 2 α 2 / 2 = M δ n 1 α 1 / 2 ( x ) δ n 2 α 2 / 2 ( x ) .

So, the proof is completed. □
