The Approximation of All Continuous Functions on [0,1] by <i>q</I>-bernstein Polynomials in the Case <i>q</I> → 1<sup>+</Sup>

Abstract

Since for q > 1, the q-Bernstein polynomials B-n,B-q(f;.) are not positive linear operators on C[0, 1], their convergence properties are not similar to those in the case 0 < q = 1. It has been known that, in general, B-n,B-qn(f;.) does not approximate f is an element of C[0, 1] if q(n) -> 1(+), n ->infinity, unlike in the case q(n) -> 1(-). In this paper, it is shown that if 0 <= q(n) - 1 = o(n(-1)3(-n)), n -> infinity, then for any f is an element of C[0, 1], we have: B-n,B-qn(f; x) -> f(x) as n -> infinity, uniformly on [ 0,1].
