    On the Lupas q-analogue of the Bernstein Operator
    (Rocky Mt Math Consortium, 2006) Ostrovska, Sofiya
    Let 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.

    Functions Whose Smoothness Is Not Improved Under the Limit q-bernstein Operator
    (Springer, 2012) Ostrovska, Sofiya
    The limit q-Bernstein operator B-q emerges naturally as a modification of the Szasz-Mirakyan operator related to the Euler probability distribution. At the same time, this operator serves as the limit for a sequence of the q-Bernstein polynomials with 0 < q < 1. Over the past years, the limit q-Bernstein operator has been studied widely from different perspectives. Its approximation, spectral, and functional-analytic properties, probabilistic interpretation, the behavior of iterates, and the impact on the analytic characteristics of functions have been examined. It has been proved that under a certain regularity condition, B-q improves the smoothness of a function which does not satisfy the Holder condition. The purpose of this paper is to exhibit 'exceptional' functions whose smoothness is not improved under the limit q-Bernstein operator. MSC: 26A15; 26A16; 41A36

    q-bernstein Polynomials of the Cauchy Kernel
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2008) Ostrovska, Sofiya
    Due to the fact that in the case q > 1, q-Bernstein polynomials are not positive linear operators on C[0, 1], the study of their approximation properties is essentially more difficult than that for 0 < q < 1. Despite the intensive research conducted in the area lately, the problem of describing the class of functions in C[0, 1] uniformly approximated by their q-Bernstein polynomials (q > 1) is still open. In this paper, the q-Bernstein polynomials B-n,B-q(f(a); z) of the Cauchy kernel f(a) = 1/(z - a), a is an element of C \ [0, 1] are found explicitly and their properties are investigated. In particular, it is proved that if q > 1, then polynomials B-n,B-q(f(a); z) converge to f(a) uniformly on any compact set K subset of {z : vertical bar z vertical bar < vertical bar a vertical bar}. This result is sharp in the following sense: on any set with an accumulation point in {z : vertical bar z vertical bar > vertical bar a vertical bar}, the sequence {B-n,B-q(f(a); z) is not even uniformly bounded.

    The Convergence of q-bernstein Polynomials (0 < q < 1) in the Complex Plane
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2009) Ostrovska, Sofiya
    The 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.

    The Approximation of Logarithmic Function by q-bernstein Polynomials in the Case q > 1
    (Springer, 2007) Ostrovska, Sofiya
    Since in the case q > 1, q-Bernstein polynomials are not positive linear operators on C[ 0, 1], the study of their approximation properties is essentially more difficult than that for 0 < q < 1. Despite the intensive research conducted in the area lately, the problem of describing the class of functions in C[ 0, 1] uniformly approximated by their q-Bernstein polynomials ( q > 1) remains open. It is known that the approximation occurs for functions admitting an analytic continuation into a disc {z : | z| < R}, R > 1. For functions without such an assumption, no general results on approximation are available. In this paper, it is shown that the function f ( x) = ln( x + a), a > 0, is uniformly approximated by its q-Bernstein polynomials ( q > 1) on the interval [ 0, 1] if and only if a >= 1.

    Weak Uncorrelatedness of Random Variables
    (Springer, 2006) Ostrovska, S
    New measures of independence for n random variables, based on their moments, are studied. A scale of degrees of independence for random variables which starts with uncorrelatedness (for n = 2) and finishes at independence is constructed. The scale provides a countable linearly ordered set of measures of independence.

    A Survey of Results on the Limit q-bernstein Operator
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Ostrovska, Sofiya
    The 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.

    ON THE IMAGES OF ENTIRE FUNCTIONS UNDER THE LIMIT q-BERNSTEIN OPERATOR
    (indian Nat Sci Acad, 2017) Ostrovska, Sofiya
    The limit q-Bernstein operator B-q comes out naturally as the limit for the sequence of q-Bernstein operators in the case 0 < q < 1 : Alternatively, it can be viewed as a modification of the Szasz-Mirakyan operator related to the Euler distribution. In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for a function g to be an image of an entire function under B-q is presented.

    Sets of Random Variables With a Given Uncorrelation Structure
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2001) Ostrovska, S
    Let xi (1),...,xi (n) be random variables having finite expectations. Denote i(k) := # {(j(1),...,j(k)): 1 less than or equal to j(1) < ... < j(k) less than or equal to n and E (l=1)pi (k) xi (fi) = (l=1)pi (k) E xi (h)}, k = 2,...,n. The finite sequence (i(2),...,i(n)) is called the uncorrelation structure of xi (1),...,xi (n). It is proved that for any given sequence of nonnegative integers (i(2),...,i(n)) satisfying 0 less than or equal to i(k) less than or equal to ((n)(k))and any given nondegenerate probability distributions P-1,...,P-n there exist random variables eta (1),...,eta (n) with respective distributions P-1,...,P-n such that (i(2),...,i(n)) is their uncorrelation structure.

    Let B-n(f, q; x), n = 1, 2,... be the q-Bernstein polynomials of a function f is an element of C[0, 1]. In the case 0 < q < 1, a sequence {B-n(f, q; x)} generates a positive linear operator B-infinity = B-infinity,B-q on C[0, 1], which is called the limit q-Bernstein operator In this paper, a connection between the smoothness of a function f and the analytic properties of its image under Boo is studied.
