1. Introduction
A strongly rooted part of Approximation Theory is the approximation of various signals by linear and positive operators. Over time, many mathematicians have begun to generalize and modify classic processes of this type, thus providing a deeper study of them. This note follows this path, investigating a generalization of Landau operators. In [11, Eq. (2)], Edmund Landau proved the following relation
the convergence being uniform over an interval , where . However, as is stated in the paper, the function can be extended by continuity on a larger interval. Further we point out some results obtained about Landauβs operators without claiming to include all important achievements related to these operators.
In [10], Jackson obtained their order of approximation. Sikkema [17, p.Β 44] proved a qualitative Voronovskaja result. A discrete version of this class of operators was studied by Gao [8]. Pendina [14] investigated iterations of Landauβs operators. Generalizations of operators in different forms have been introduced. Approximation by Landau operators relative to the Hausdorff metric appeared in [18]. Mamedov [12] presented the following generalization
where is fixed and stands for Gamma function. The deeper investigation of , , operators was continued by the same author in [13]. Two other generalizations were constructed by Chen and Shih [4]. Gal and Iancu [7] replaced in the classical operators, the usual integral by the nonlinear Choquet integral.
Another generalization of Landau operators was proposed in [1]. These new operators reproduce the affine functions, a less common feature of integral type operators. The approximation properties were studied in two spaces, namely in , the space of real valued continuous functions on , and in the weighted space , where
with the polynomial weight , fixed.
In this paper we pursue two aims.
The first purpose is to continue the investigation of the operators introduced in [1] by their study in , , normed spaces which play a central role in many questions in analysis. The special importance of them derive from the fact that they offer a partial but useful generalization of the fundamental space of square integrable functions. The second purpose is to extend the operators for vector functions, this assuming new challenges for error evaluation.
The architecture of this article still includes three paragraphs, in the first we present the class of operators and in the other two we investigate the aspects depicted above.
2. Preliminaries
Trying to realize a self-contained exposure, we present the operators introduced in [1], specifing the meaning of the notations as well as some formulas.
Let be fixed and . For each we set
(2.1) |
where stands for Beta function. Using elementary calculations we get
The sequences and for , are strictly decreasing. Moreover, for ,
(2.2) |
We consider the linear and positive operators defined as follows
(2.3) | ||||
where is Lebesgue measurable on the domain.
The behavior of the operators on the Korovkin type test functions , for , is described by the following relations
(2.4) |
Further, we focus on the study of approximation properties in unweighted and weighted spaces, .
3. Approximation in spaces
As usual, we denote the norm of the space, , by .
Lemma 3.1.
Let , , be defined by (2.3). If , where , then we get
The above property says that our operators are non-expansive on the spaces .
A subtle measurement of the error of approximation is provided by modulus of smoothness. Let , , denote the translation operator, , and the difference operator, where is the identity operator. The first modulus of smoothness of is defined by
Among its properties, see, e.g., the monograph [5, Chapter 2, Β§7], we recall: it is a continuous and increasing function of with . It also takes place
(3.1) |
Actually, meets the conditions that ensure it is a seminorm on , .
Theorem 3.1.
Proof. Since the operators reproduce the constants, see (2.4), we have
(3.2) |
We deduce
The first increase represents Minkowskiβs integral inequality for two measure spaces, see [9, Problem 202]. The inversions of the order of integration are justified by Fubiniβs Theorem.
Based on (3.1), for any we can write
Taking in view the relations (2.2), the choice of is appropriate and the conclusion of the theorem is completed.
Next, we explore the approximation properties of the operators in some weighted spaces . For a given , we consider the weight
where is a fixed integer. We denote by the linear space of -absolutely integrable functions on with respect to the weight , i.e., for ,
endowed with the norm defined as follows
Lemma 3.2.
Each operator defined by (2.3) maps into .
Proof. Let be fixed. It is enough to show that
(3.3) |
where is a positive constant.
Using again Minkowskiβs inequality, we can write
Appealing to the inequality
true for any , we can continue to write
Considering the relations (2.1), we deduce and choosing in (3.3) the constant , the proof of our lemma is finished.Β
Theorem 3.2.
Proof. The demonstration is based on a Korovkin type theorem for a general weighted space established in [6, Theorem 1]. The proved theorem says: Let be a uniformly bounded sequence of positive linear operators from into , . We assume that
(3.5) |
where the weight is a positive continuous function on satisfying the condition
(3.6) |
Then, for every , we have
We consider a particular case of the weight , namely . Since and , this weight function satisfies condition (3.6). Also, Lemma 3.2 ensures that our operators , , are uniformly bounded. Using (2.4), the conditions of (3.5) are obviously fulfilled for and . Knowing the expression of the function, we get
Taking in view the relation (2.2), condition (3.5) also takes place for . The proof of the identity (3.4) is ended.
Moduli of smoothness have become standard instrument to estimate errors of approximation. Yuksel and Ispir [20] proposed a weighted modulus of the following form
for any function satisfying a polynomial growth, more precisely
being a positive constant depending only on . Starting from this construction, we define a weighted modulus of smoothness as follows
(3.7) |
for any function . We show that this modulus satisfies some classical properties of -modulus. Clearly, and it is a monotone increasing function with respect to .
Also, for any and any positive integer ,
takes place. The proof is simple, based on Minkowskiβs inequality and on the following increase
(3.8) |
Lemma 3.3.
Proof. For or the statement is evident. Further, we consider and .
At first step, for any positive integer we can write
(3.10) |
In the above we replaced with . Further, for an arbitrary , using both the monotonicity of and inequality established at (3), we get
where indicates the integer part of . We arrived at (3.9).
Lemma 3.4.
Let be defined by (3.7). It takes place
(3.11) |
Proof. For a positive real number , let , , be the characteristic functions of the intervals , , , respectively.
Since , for each there exists large enough such that
This inequality can be written
For , this relation implies
Considering , the above inequality involves
We used again inequalities shown in (3.8).
Taking we can write
Thus, we have
(3.12) |
By the Weierstrass theorem, there exists a sequence , where , such that
That is, for a given , there exists a rank such that
(3.13) |
whenever and . Thus, we get
(3.14) |
for .
Applying the Minkowskiβs inequality yields
Since , , are continuous functions on a compact interval, based on Cantorβs theorem, they are uniformly continuous. Consequently, for and we can write
where . Rhus, we obtain
and, from (3.15) we get
Theorem 3.3.
Proof. Starting from relation (3.2), we have
From this point the proof runs similarly to that of Theorem 3.1.
In the final part of this section we make a stop over global smoothness preservation property.
Proof. By identity (3.2) we get
Using the inequality
we have
4. Multidimensional Landau type operators
For a positive integer we consider the Euclidean space . During this section we use the following notations: , , . According to the model offered by the relation (2.1) we consider the real numbers , , and the vector . Set
where is defined as in formula (2.1). A variant of the Landau -dimensional operators which generalize those introduced by (2.3), can be described as follows
(4.1) |
where is a real-valued function defined on such that the right hand side exists and is finite. We turn our attention to establishing approximation properties of these operators for the class of continuous functions. To achieve this, we introduce the following reference functions. Let . The constant function on of constant value 1 is denoted by . For each we shall denote by the -th canonical projection which is defined by
Set , representing the Euclidean inner product of with itself.
stands for the space of all real-valued continuous functions on endowed with the norm of the uniform convergence ,
(4.2) |
Theorem 4.1.
Proof. Clearly, the operators are linear and positive. We use the multivariate Korovkin theorem. In this line we recall that
(4.6) |
is a Korovkin system of test functions in , see, e.g., [2, Eq. (4.4.22)]. For two dimensional case this result was first established by Volkov [19]. The -dimensional analogue of Korovkinβs theorem was proved by Shashkin [15]. Based on the definition of our operators, we have
consequently the identity (4.3) takes place. Further, using (4.1) along with the formulas (2.3) and (2.4), for each , we obtain
which ensures the fulfillment of the conditions required at (4.4).
Following a similar route to the one presented above, we can write
We deduce . The result established at (2.2) guarantees that relation (4.5) is achieved. The proof is completed.Β
We present an estimate of the error of approximation in terms of the corresponding quantities for the test functions referred to in (4.6). For linear positive operators univariate case, a general result was establishing by Shisha and Mond [16]. For -dimensional case, the general result was obtained by Censor [3]. Such estimates involve moduli of smoothness. For real multivariate functions we consider the following type of modulus [3, Eq. (1)]
(4.7) |
where is a convex compact, stands for the Euclidean distance in and is a real valued function continuous on .
