Abstract

Using the equivalence relation between -functional and modulus of smoothness, we establish a strong direct theorem and an inverse theorem of weak type for multivariate Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators with Jacobi weights on a simplex in this paper. We also obtain a characterization for multivariate Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators with Jacobi weights on a simplex. The obtained results not only generalize the corresponding ones for Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators, but also give approximation order of Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators.

1. Introduction

Let be a simplex in defined by For , we denote by the space of -order Lebesgue integrable functions on with where denote the space of continuous functions on . For , the multivariate Bernstein-Durrmeyer Operators with variables on are given by where and , , with the convention

For multivariate Jacobi weights , (, , , , , . We give some further notations, for , and we write , , ( and

For , the weighted Sobolev space is given by where is the interior of . To characterize the approximation capability of multivariate Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators, we introduce the weighted -functional and a measure of smoothness of

Since 1967, Durrmeyer introduced Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators, and there are many papers which studied theirproperties [1–7]. In 1991, Zhang studied the characterization of convergence for with Jacobi weights. In 1992, Zhou [5] considered multivariate Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators and obtained a characterization of convergence. In 2002, Xuan et al. studied the equivalent characterization of convergence for with Jacobi weights and obtained the following result.

Theorem 1.1. For , , the following results are equivalent:(i); (ii).

In this paper, using the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness, we will give the upper bound and lower bound of approximation function by on simplex. The main results are as follows.

Theorem 1.2. If , then And there exists a positive number such that the following inequality is satisfied:

Throughout the paper, the letter , appearing in various formulas, denotes a positive constant independent of , , and . Its value may be different at different occurrences, even within the same formula.

From Theorem 1.2, we can easily obtain the following corollary.

Corollary 1.3. If , , we has the following equivalent results:(i);(ii);(iii).

2. Some Lemmas

To prove Theorem 1.2, we will show some lemmas in this section. For the simplex , the transformation : defined by satisfies , and is the identity operator. So we have where .

Noticing formula (2.4), we have where . When , from the inductive assumption of , we have When , we have where . From the inductive assumption, the Cauchy-Swartz inequality, Holder inequality, and Lemma 2.4, we get By Riesz interpolation theorem, we get Similarly, the other cases for = can be proved. For , by the transformation , we have Lemma 2.5 is completed.

Lemma 2.6 (see [9]). Let , be nonnegative sequences (, . For , if the sequences , satisfy one has If , then . If , then .

3. The Proof of Theorems
