    HOW DO SINGULARITIES OF FUNCTIONS AFFECT THE CONVERGENCE OF q-BERNSTEIN POLYNOMIALS?
    (Element, 2015) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Ozban, Ahmet Yasar; Turan, Mehmet
    In this article, the approximation of functions with a singularity at alpha is an element of (0, 1) by the q-Bernstein polynomials for q > 1 has been studied. Unlike the situation when alpha is an element of (0, 1) \ {q(-j)} j is an element of N, in the case when alpha = q(-m), m is an element of N, the type of singularity has a decisive effect on the set where a function can be approximated. In the latter event, depending on the types of singularities, three classes of functions have been examined, and it has been found that the possibility of approximation varies considerably for these classes.

    Uncorrelatedness Sets of Discrete Random Variables Via Vandermonde-Type Determinants
    (Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2019) Turan, Mehmet; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Ozban, Ahmet Yasar
    Given random variables X and Y having finite moments of all orders, their uncorrelatedness set is defined as the set of all pairs (j, k) is an element of N-2; for which X-j and Y-kappa are uncorrelated. It is known that, broadly put, any subset of N-2 can serve as an uncorrelatedness set. This claim is no longer valid for random variables with prescribed distributions, in which case the need arises so as to identify the possible uncorrelatedness sets. This paper studies the uncorrelatedness sets for positive random variables uniformly distributed on three points. Some general features of these sets are derived. Two related Vandermonde-type determinants are examined and applied to describe uncorrelatedness sets in some special cases. (C) 2019 Mathematical Institute Slovak Academy of Sciences
