Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Personal Response Systems Through the Prism of Students' Experiences(Wiley, 2020) Mishra, Deepti; Chew, Esyin; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Wong, JojoPersonal response systems (PRSs) today offer an opportunity to the field of education in terms of improving teaching and learning outcomes through active engagement in classrooms. The present paper investigates students' attitudes to different types of PRSs, namely, Socrative and Clickers. Both qualitative and quantitative data are gathered and classified. The performed thematic analysis reveals major categories within the framework of this study, namely educational efficacy, psychological aspects, technology-related issues, and administrative issues. It has been found that Socrative fares better in the "educational efficacy" and "administrative issues," whereas Clickers outperforms Socrative in the "technological-related issues." It is worth pointing out that both Socrative and Clickers are tantamount in "psychological aspects" yielding no negative experiences. The results of this study reveal that two main factors, cost and technological infrastructure, are determinative in the incorporation and appreciation of such systems in an educational setting.Article On the Lupas q-transform of Unbounded Functions(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2023) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, MehmetThe Lupa , s q-transform comes out naturally in the study of the Lupa , s q-analogue of the Bernstein operator. It is closely related to the Heine q-distribution which has a numerous application in q-boson operator calculus and to the Valiron method of summation for divergent series. In this paper, the Lupa , s q-transform (lambda(q)f)(z), q is an element of (0, 1), of unbounded functions is considered in distinction to the previous researches, where only the case f is an element of C[0, 1] have been investigated. First, the condition for a function to possess the Lupa , s q-transform is presented. Also, results concerning the connection between growth rate of the function f (t) as t -> 1(-) and the growth of its Lupa , s q-transform (lambda(q)f)(z) as z -> infinity are established.

Lately, various features of this operator have been investigated from several angles. It has been proved that the smoothness of f is an element of C[0, 1] affects the possibility for an analytic continuation of its image B-q f. This work aims to investigate the reciprocal: to what extent the smoothness of f can be retrieved from the analytical properties of B-q f.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2On the q-bernstein Polynomials of the Logarithmic Function in the Case q > 1(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2016) Ostrovska, SofiyaThe q-Bernstein basis used to construct the q-Bernstein polynomials is an extension of the Bernstein basis related to the q-binomial probability distribution. This distribution plays a profound role in the q-boson operator calculus. In the case q > 1, q-Bernstein basic polynomials on [0, 1] combine the fast increase in magnitude with sign oscillations. This seriously complicates the study of q-Bernstein polynomials in the case of q > 1. The aim of this paper is to present new results related to the q-Bernstein polynomials B-n,B- q of discontinuous functions in the case q > 1. The behavior of polynomials B-n,B- q(f; x) for functions f possessing a logarithmic singularity at 0 has been examined. (C) 2016 Mathematical Institute Slovak Academy of SciencesArticle Citation - WoS: 7On the Approximation of Analytic Functions by the q-bernstein Polynomials in the Case q > 1(Kent State University, 2010) Ostrovska, SofiyaSince for q > 1, the q-Bernstein polynomials B(n,q) are not positive linear operators on C[0, 1], the investigation of their convergence properties turns out to be much more difficult than that in the case 0 < q < 1. In this paper, new results on the approximation of continuous functions by the q-Bernstein polynomials in the case q > 1 are presented. It is shown that if f is an element of C[0, 1] and admits an analytic continuation f(z) into {z : |z| < a}, then B(n,q) (f; z) -> f (z) as n -> infinity, uniformly on any compact set in {z : |z| < a}.Article Fedja’s Proof of Deepti’s Inequality(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2018) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, MehmetThe paper aims to present, in a systematic way, an elegant proof of Deepti’s inequality. Both the inequalityand various ideas concerning the issue were discussed on the Mathoverflow website by a number of users, but none haveappeared in the literature thus far. In this work, suggestions pertaining to users ‘Deepti’ and ‘fedja’ are traced, whencethe title. The results or the paper are new, and the proof is divided into a series of statements, many of which are ofinterest in themselves.Article Citation - WoS: 71Citation - Scopus: 74On the Lupas q-analogue of the Bernstein Operator(Rocky Mt Math Consortium, 2006) Ostrovska, SofiyaLet R-n(f,q;x) : C[0, 1] -> C[0, 1] be q-analogues of the Bernstein operators defined by Lupas in 1987. If q = 1, then R-n (f, 1; x) are classical Bernstein polynomials. For q not equal 1, the operators R-n (f, q; x) are rational functions rather than polynomials. The paper deals with convergence properties of the sequence {R-n (f, q; x)}. It is proved that {R-n (f, q(n); x)} converges uniformly to f(x) for any f(x) is an element of C[0, 1] if and only if q(n) -> 1. In the case q > 0, q not equal 1 being fixed the sequence I R. (f, q; x) I converges uniformly to f(x) is an element of C[0, 1] if and only if f(x) is linear.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Distance Between Two Limit q-bernstein Operators(Rocky Mt Math Consortium, 2020) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, MehmetFor q is an element of (0, 1), let B-q denote the limit q-Bernstein operator. The distance between B-q and B-r for distinct q and r in the operator norm on C[0, 1] is estimated, and it is proved that 1 <= parallel to B-q - B-r parallel to <= 2, where both of the equalities can be attained. Furthermore, the distance depends on whether or not r and q are rational powers of each other. For example, if r(j) not equal q(m) for all j, m is an element of N, then parallel to B-q - B-r parallel to = 2, and if r = q(m) for some m is an element of N, then parallel to B-q - B-r parallel to = 2(m - 1)/m.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13The Convergence of q-bernstein Polynomials (0 < q < 1) in the Complex Plane(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2009) Ostrovska, SofiyaThe paper focuses at the estimates for the rate of convergence of the q-Bernstein polynomials (0 < q < 1) in the complex plane. In particular, a generalization of previously known results on the possibility of analytic continuation of the limit function and an elaboration of the theorem by Wang and Meng is presented. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, WeinheimReview Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5A Survey of Results on the Limit q-bernstein Operator(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Ostrovska, SofiyaThe limit q-Bernstein operator B-q emerges naturally as a modification of the Szasz-Mirakyan operator related to the Euler distribution, which is used in the q-boson theory to describe the energy distribution in a q-analogue of the coherent state. At the same time, this operator bears a significant role in the approximation theory as an exemplary model for the study of the convergence of the q-operators. Over the past years, the limit q-Bernstein operator has been studied widely from different perspectives. It has been shown that. is a positive shape-preserving linear operator on C[0, 1] with parallel to B-q parallel to = 1. Its approximation properties, probabilistic interpretation, the behavior of iterates, and the impact on the smoothness of a function have already been examined. In this paper, we present a review of the results on the limit q-Bernstein operator related to the approximation theory. A complete bibliography is supplied.
