Abstract

In this article, we introduce a new Durrmeyer-type generalization of -Szász-Mirakjan operators using the -gamma function of the second kind. The moments and central moments are obtained. Then, the Voronovskaja-type asymptotic formula is investigated and point-wise estimates of these operators are studied. Also, some local approximation properties of these operators are investigated by means of modulus of continuity and Peetre -functional. Finally, the rate of convergence and weighted approximation of these operators are presented.

1. Introduction

In recent years, -analogues of well-known positive operators have been widely constructed and researched since Mursaleen et al. first introduced -Berstein operators [1] and -Bernstein-Stancu operators [2]. In [3], Acar first introduced -Szász-Mirakjan operators and gave a recurrence relation for the moments of these operators. In [4], Mursaleen et al. proposed a Kantorovich variant of the -analogue of Szász-Mirakjan operators under the nondecreasing condition. In [5], Sharma and Gupta introduced -Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators and studied their approximation properties. In [6], Acar et al. constructed King’s type -Szász-Mirakjan operators preserving and discussed the order of approximation and weighted approximation properties of these operators. In [7], Aral and Gupta constructed -Szász-Mirakjan-Durrmeyer operators using -gamma function of the first kind and estimated moments and established some direct results of these operators. In [8], Mursaleen et al. introduced a new modification of Szász-Mirakjan operators based on the -calculus and investigated their approximation properties including weighted approximation and Voronovskaya-type theorem. In [9], Mursaleen et al. proposed two different Kantorovich-type -Szász-Mirakjan operators and discussed their error estimated. In [10], Kara and Mahmudov constructed a new -Szász-Mirakjan operators as

Definition 1. Let and . For , -Szász-Mirakjan operators can be defined as where .

Meantime, quantitative estimates for the convergence in the polynomial weighted spaces and Voronovskaya theorem for new -Szász-Mirakjan operators (1) were given. All these achievement motivates us to construct the Durrmeyer analogue of the -Szász-Mirakjan operators defined by (1).

Definition 2. Let and . For , we construct the -Szász-Mirakjan-Durrmeyer operators as Let us recall the basic notations of -calculus which can be found in [11]. For any fixed real number and , the -integers are defined as where denotes the -integers and . Also -factorial is defined as follows: Now, we introduce two types of -analogues of exponential function and (see [7]): Let be an arbitrary function. The improper -integral of on was defined as (see [12]) The -gamma function of the second kind was defined in [12] as follows: Meantime, the -gamma function fulfills the following relation: moreover, for any nonnegative integer , the following relation holds:

Let be arbitrary, we can choose to be so large that In view of Lemma 4, while , we can obtain Hence, we can choose and to be so large such that for any the inequality holds. Also, the first term of the above inequality tends to zero by Theorem 12, that is Thus, combining (68)–(71), we obtain the desired result.
