1 Introduction

The fuzziness is used to deal with imprecise or uncertain information. It measures the imperfection of an example. As a result, the computing by Fuzzy logic approach is based on “degrees of truth” rather than the usual “true or false” (1 or 0) Boolean logic used by the present day computers. Fuzzy logic is used by various types of AI systems and technologies, for instance vehicle intelligence, consumer electronics, medical diagnosis, software, chemicals, aerospace and environment control systems etc. The concept of fuzzy logic was put forward by Zadeh [ 38 ] in 1965, while working on the computer understanding of natural languages. A modified definition of fuzzy numbers was given by Goetschel Jr. and Voxman [ 20 ] . The concept of a sequence of fuzzy numbers was proposed by Matloka [ 25 ] . Nanda [ 27 ] established that the set of convergent sequences of fuzzy numbers is complete. Subrahmanyam [ 34 ] introduced the Cesáro summability of fuzzy numbers. Gal [ 19 ] generalized the classical results of approximation theory to the fuzzy setting. Motivated by this work, Anastassiou [ 6 ] established the fuzzy analogues of many approximation theorems.

Anastassiou [ 8 ] established the basic fuzzy Korovkin type theorem for fuzzy positive linear operators by means of fuzzy Shisha–Mond inequality and also presented the rate of convergence with the aid of fuzzy modulus of continuity. Anastassiou et al. [ 9 ] investigated a Korovkin-type theorem in the fuzzy setting by using a matrix summability method and also examined the rate of convergence with the aid of fuzzy modulus of continuity. Yavuz [ 36 ] presented a fuzzy trigonometric Korovkin type theorem via power series summability method and also established another related approximation theorem with the aid of fuzzy modulus of continuity for functions belonging to $C_{2 π}^{F} (R)$ , the space of $2 π$ -periodic fuzzy continuous functions on $R$ . Baxhaku et al. [ 12 ] derived fuzzy Korovkin type theorem by means of power series method for $C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ , the space of fuzzy continuous functions on $J_{a}^{b}$ and also examined the fuzzy rate of convergence via fuzzy modulus of continuity. Yavuz [ 37 ] investigated a trigonometric Korovkin type result for fuzzy valued functions of two variables.

In the past two decades, statistical convergence and its various generalizations have been an active area of research in approximation theory. In the year 1951, Steinhaus [ 33 ] and Fast [ 16 ] independently introduced the notion of statistical convergence to assign a limit to the sequences which are not convergent in the usual sense. Gadjiev and Orhan [ 18 ] established a Korovkin-type approximation theorem for the first time via statistical convergence. Duman and Orhan [ 15 ] derived the Korovkin-type result using the concept of $A$ -statistical convergence defined by Freedman and Sember [ 17 ] , where $A$ is a non-negative regular infinite summability matrix. Karakaya and Chishti [ 23 ] introduced the concept of weighted statistical convergence. Mohiuddine [ 26 ] discussed the relationship of statistical weighted $A$ -summability with the weighted $A$ -statistical convergence of a sequence and derived a Korovkin type result via statistical weighted $A$ -summability. Agrawal et al. [ 2 ] studied the weighted $A$ -statistical convergence for an exponential type operator defined by Ismail and May [ 22 ] . Srivastava et al. [ 32 ] introduced the notion of deferred weighted $A$ -statistical convergence and established a Korovkin type approximation theorem for continuous functions on $J_{0}^{1}$ . Patro et al. [ 29 ] defined the notions of deferred Euler statistical convergence and statistical deferred Euler summability means and derived some inclusion relations between them. Furthermore, the authors [ 29 ] proved a Korovokin-type approximation theorem based on the proposed mean. Agrawal et al. [ 3 ] derived a Korovkin type theorem for a sequence of bivariate generalized Bernstein-Kantorovich type operators on a triangle by means of deferred weighted $A$ -statistical convergence. Later, Agrawal et al. [ 4 ] established a general Korovkin type theorem for the deferred weighted $A$ -statistical convergence of a sequence of positive linear operators. Demirci et al. [ 14 ] proved a Korovkin type theorem by using equi-statistical convergence in the sense of power series method. Saini et al. [ 31 ] presented the notions of equi-statistical convergence, pointwise statistical convergence and uniform statistical convergence for a sequence of real-valued functions by using deferred Cesáro and deferred Euler statistical convergence. Furthermore, the authors [ 31 ] established a Korovkin type theorem and the rate of convergence by using the notion of deferred Cesáro and deferred Euler equi-statistical convergence.

Nuray and Savaş [ 28 ] proposed the fuzzy analogue of statistical convergence of a fuzzy number valued sequence. Anastassiou and Duman [ 10 ] extended the results obtained in [ 8 ] by using the notion of $A$ -statistical convergence. Dass et al. [ 13 ] investigated a fuzzy Korovkin type theorem by using statistical $(C, 1) (E, μ)$ product summability method and also determined the associated fuzzy rate of convergence. Aiyub et al. [ 5 ] proved Korovkin type theorem via lacunary equi-statistical convergence in the fuzzy space $C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ and also determined the associated rate of convergence via fuzzy modulus of continuity. Very recently, by using fractional difference operator Raj et al. [ 30 ] presented a fuzzy Korovkin type result via statistical Euler summability and also studied the corresponding fuzzy convergence rate.

The purpose of the present paper is to extend the study carried out in [ 31 ] in the fuzzy environment. We establish the fuzzy Korovkin type approximation theorem for functions in $C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ by means of $e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}$ convergence and also determine the associated order of convergence via fuzzy modulus of continuity.

2 Preliminaries

In our study, we shall need the following definitions.

A fuzzy real number is a function $ν : R \to J_{0}^{1}$ satisfying:

$ν$ is normal, i.e., we can find a number $z_{0} \in R$ such that $ν (z_{0}) = 1$ ;
$ν$ is a fuzzy convex subset, i.e., $ν (ξ z_{1} + (1 - ξ) z_{2}) \geq min (ν (z_{1}), ν (z_{2}))$ , $\forall$ $z_{1}, z_{2} \in R$ and $ξ \in J_{0}^{1}$ ;
for a given $ϵ > 0$ and for any $z_{0} \in R$ $\exists$ a neighbourhood W of $z_{0}$ such that $ν (z) \leq ν (z_{0}) + ϵ$ , $\forall z \in W$ , i.e., $ν$ is upper semi-continuous on $R$ ;
the closure of $supp (ν)$ is compact, where $supp (ν) := {z \in R : ν (z) > 0}$ .

Let $C^{F} (R) := {φ : φ is fuzzy continuous over R}$ , then an operator $M : C^{F} (R) \to C^{F} (R)$ is called fuzzy linear if

M (α ⨀ ϕ_{1} ⨁ β ⨀ ϕ_{2}) = α ⨀ M (ϕ_{1}) ⨁ β ⨀ M (ϕ_{2}),

for all $α, β \in R$ and $ϕ_{1}, ϕ_{2} \in C^{F} (R)$ . In addition, the fuzzy linear operator $M$ is said to be positive if for any $ϕ_{1}, ϕ_{2} \in C_{F} (R)$ , with $ϕ_{1} (z) ⪯ ϕ_{2} (z)$ , $\forall z \in R$ , we have $M (ϕ_{1}; z) ⪯ M (ϕ_{2}; z),$ $\forall z \in R$ .

A sequence $⟨ {\tilde{w}}_{ν} \in R_{F} ⟩_{ν \in N}$ is called statistically convergent (see [ 28 ] ) to ${\tilde{w}}_{0} \in R_{F}$ , if for a given $ϵ > 0$ , the natural density

δ ({ν \leq n : D ({\tilde{w}}_{ν}, {\tilde{w}}_{0}) \geq ϵ}) = 0

We denote this convergence by writing $s t a t_{F} - lim_{ν \to \infty} {\tilde{w}}_{ν} = {\tilde{w}}_{0} .$

Following [ 1 ] , let $p = ⟨ p_{n} ⟩$ and $q = ⟨ q_{n} ⟩$ be sequences in $N^{0} = N \cup {0}$ satisfying

(i) $p_{n} < q_{n}, \forall n \in N$ ;

(ii) $lim_{n \to \infty} q_{n} = \infty$ .

Then the deferred Cesáro mean of $⟨ {\tilde{w}}_{ν} \in R_{F} ⟩$ is defined as

σ_{n} = \frac{1}{q_{n} - p_{n}} \sum_{ν = p_{n} + 1}^{q_{n}} {\tilde{w}}_{ν}, n \in N .

The deferred Euler mean of order $μ$ [ 29 ] is given by

ξ_{n} = \frac{1}{(μ + 1)^{q_{n}}} \sum_{ν = p_{n} + 1}^{q_{n}} (\binom{q_{n}}{m}) μ^{q_{n} - m} {\tilde{w}}_{ν}, f o r μ > 0.

Following [ 31 ] , we call the sequence $⟨ {\tilde{w}}_{m} ⟩$ to be deferred Euler statistically convergent to ${\tilde{w}}_{0}$ , if for each $ϵ > 0$ ,

G_{n} (ϵ) = {m \in N; m \leq (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} D ({\tilde{w}}_{m}, {\tilde{w}}_{0}) \geq ϵ},

has asymptotic density $0$ , i.e.,

lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{| G_{n} (ϵ) |}{(μ + 1)^{q_{n}}} = 0.

The sequence $⟨ {\tilde{w}}_{m} ⟩$ is called $s t a t_{C E}^{D}$ (deferred Cesáro and deferred Euler statistical) convergent to ${\tilde{w}}_{0} \in R_{F}$ (see [ 31 ] ), if for any $ϵ > 0$ ,

V_{n} (ϵ) = {m \in N; m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} D ({\tilde{w}}_{m}, {\tilde{w}}_{0}) \geq ϵ},

has natural density $0$ , i.e.,

lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{| V_{n} (ϵ) |}{(q_{n} - p_{n}) (μ + 1)^{q_{n}}} = 0.

Let $X \subset R$ be a compact set. Then $C (X) := {φ : X \to R | φ is continuous on X}$ is a Banach space with the sup-norm $‖ . ‖_{C (X)}$ . Following [ 31 ] , a sequence $g_{n} \in C (X)$ , $n \in N$ is said to be $e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}$ convergent to $g$ , if for any $ϵ > 0$ , we have

lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{{‖ U_{n} (z, ϵ) ‖}_{C (X)}}{(q_{n} - p_{n}) (μ + 1)^{q_{n}}} = 0,

where

U_{n} (z, ϵ) = | {m; m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} D (g_{m} (z), g (z)) \geq ϵ} | .

We denote this convergence by $g_{n} ↠ g$ $(e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D})$ .

3 Fuzzy Korovkin Theorem

Let $C (J_{a}^{b}) := {φ : φ is a continuous function on J_{a}^{b}}$ with the sup-norm $‖ \cdot ‖ .$ Further, let $w_{ζ} (z) = z^{ζ},$ $ζ = 0, 1, 2$ , $\forall z \in J_{a}^{b}$ . Anastassiou and Gal [ 11 ] extended the Korovkin theorem (algebraic case) [ 24 ] to the fuzzy setting as given below:

Theorem 1 [ 11 ] , Th. 4

Let $K_{n} : C^{F} (J_{a}^{b}) \to C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ be a sequence of fuzzy p.l.o. (positive linear operators). Suppose that $\exists$ a sequence ${\tilde{K}}_{n} : C (J_{a}^{b}) \to C (J_{a}^{b})$ of p.l.o. such that

{K_{n} (φ; z)}_{\pm}^{(t)} = {\tilde{K}}_{n} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)}; z)

for all $t \in J_{0}^{1},$ $n \in N$ , and $φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ . Further, let

lim_{n \to \infty} ‖ {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{ζ}) - w_{ζ} ‖ = 0,

for $ζ = 0, 1, 2$ . Then, for all $φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ , we have

lim_{n \to \infty} D^{*} (K_{n} (φ), φ) = 0.

In the following result, we prove the fuzzy Korovkin Theorem via $e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}$ convergence.

Theorem 2

Let $K_{n} : C^{F} (J_{a}^{b}) \to C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ be a sequence of fuzzy p.l.o. Suppose that $\exists$ a sequence ${\tilde{K}}_{n} : C (J_{a}^{b}) \to C (J_{a}^{b})$ of p.l.o. satisfying 2. Further, let

lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{‖ W_{n, k} (z, ϵ) ‖}{(q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}}} = 0,

where

\begin{aligned} W_{n, k} (z, ϵ) & = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} \\ and μ^{q_{n} - m} | {\tilde{K}}_{m} (w_{k}; z) - w_{k} (z) | \geq \frac{ϵ^{'} - ϵ}{3 K (ϵ)}}; \end{aligned}

i.e., ${\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{k}) ↠ w_{k}$ $(e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D})$ , for all $k = 0, 1, 2$ . Then, for every $φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ , we have

lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{‖ W_{n} (z . ϵ) ‖}{(q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}}} = 0,

i.e., where,

W_{n} (z, ϵ) = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} D (K_{m} (φ; z), φ (z)) \geq ϵ},

i.e., $K_{n} (φ) ↠ φ$ $(e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D})$ .

Proof â–¼

Let

φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})

t \in J_{0}^{1}

and

z \in J_{a}^{b}

. Then,

φ_{\pm}^{(t)} \in C (J_{a}^{b})

. Hence for any

ϵ > 0

, we can find

δ > 0

such that

| φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (v) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) | < ϵ

, holds for

\forall v \in J_{a}^{b}

with

| v - z | < δ .

Then, for all

v \in J_{a}^{b},

it follows that

| φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (v) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) | < ϵ + 2 M_{\pm}^{(t)} \frac{(v - z)^{2}}{δ^{2}},

where $M_{\pm}^{(t)} = ‖ φ_{\pm}^{(t)} ‖$ (see [ 24 ] ). Due to the positivity and linearity of the operator ${\tilde{K}}_{n}$ , and using (5) one may write

\begin{aligned} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)}; z) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) | \leq \\ \leq {\tilde{K}}_{n} (| φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (v) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) |; z) + M_{\pm}^{(t)} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \\ < {\tilde{K}}_{n} (ϵ + 2 M_{\pm}^{(t)} \frac{(v - z)^{2}}{δ^{2}}; z) + M_{\pm}^{(t)} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \\ < ϵ {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) + M_{\pm}^{(t)} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | + \frac{2 M_{\pm}^{(t)}}{δ^{2}} {\tilde{K}}_{n} ({(v - z)}^{2}; z), \end{aligned}

which yields

\begin{aligned} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)}; z) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) | & < ϵ + (M_{\pm}^{(t)} + ϵ) | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \\ + \frac{2 M_{\pm}^{(t)}}{δ^{2}} [z^{2} {{\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z)} \\ + 2 | z | {{\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{1}; z) - w_{1} (z)} + {{\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{2}; z) - w_{2} (z)}] \\ < ϵ + K_{\pm}^{(t)} (ϵ) [| {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \\ + | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (ω_{1}; z) - ω_{1} (z) | + | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (ω_{2}; z) - ω_{2} (z) |], \end{aligned}

where $K_{\pm}^{(t)} (ϵ) = {\frac{2 M_{\pm}^{(t)}}{δ^{2}}, \frac{4 η M_{\pm}^{(t)}}{δ^{2}}, ϵ + M_{\pm}^{(t)} + \frac{2 η^{2} M_{\pm}^{(t)}}{δ^{2}}}$ , with $η = max {| a |, | b |}$ . Hence using (2), we get

D (K_{n} (φ; z), φ (z)) < ϵ + K {\sum_{k = 0}^{2} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{k}; z) - w_{k} (z) |},

where $K = K (ϵ) = sup_{t \in [0, 1]} max {K_{+}^{(t)} (ϵ), K_{-}^{(t)} (ϵ)} .$
For any $ϵ^{'} > 0$ , take $ϵ$ , satisfying $0 < ϵ < ϵ^{'}$ , and define:

\begin{aligned} W_{n} (z, ϵ) = \\ = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} D (K_{m} (φ; z), φ (z)) \geq ϵ}; \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} W_{n, 0} (z, ϵ) = \\ = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} | {\tilde{K}}_{m} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \geq \frac{ϵ^{'} - ϵ}{3 K (ϵ)}}; \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} W_{n, 1} (z, ϵ) = \\ = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} | {\tilde{K}}_{m} (w_{1}; z) - w_{1} (z) | \geq \frac{ϵ^{'} - ϵ}{3 K (ϵ)}}; \end{aligned}

and

\begin{aligned} W_{n, 2} (z, ϵ) = \\ = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} | {\tilde{K}}_{m} (w_{2}; z) - w_{2} (z) | \geq \frac{ϵ^{'} - ϵ}{3 K (ϵ)}} . \end{aligned}

Then,

\frac{‖ W_{n} (z, ϵ) ‖}{(q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}}} \leq \sum_{k = 0}^{2} \frac{‖ W_{n, k} (z, ϵ) ‖}{(q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}}} .

Hence using hypothesis (3), the proof is completed.

4 Statistical fuzzy convergence rate

We discuss fuzzy rate of approximation by the operators $K_{n}$ for any function $φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ by means of the fuzzy modulus of continuity via $e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}$ convergence.

Let $⟨ ϕ_{n} ⟩_{n \in N}$ be a monotonically decreasing positive sequence. Then, we call a sequence $⟨ g_{n} \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b}) ⟩_{n \in N}$ to be $e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}$ convergent to $g$ with the fuzzy rate $o (ϕ_{n})$ , provided for any $ϵ > 0$ ,

lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{‖ U_{n} (z, ϵ) ‖}{ϕ_{n} (q_{n} - p_{n}) (μ + 1)^{q_{n}}} = 0,

-1

where $U_{n} (z, ϵ)$ is same as defined by (1). Symbolically, we write it as $g_{n} - g = o (ϕ_{n}) (e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}) .$

From [ 8 ] , the fuzzy modulus of continuity is given by:

ω_{1}^{F} (φ; δ) = sup_{v, z \in J_{a}^{b}; | v - z | \leq δ} D (φ (v), φ (z)), for any δ > 0, φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b}) .

Lemma 3 [ 7 ]

Let $φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ . Then,

\begin{array}{r} ω_{1}^{F} (φ; δ) = sup_{t \in J_{0}^{1}} max {ω_{1} (φ_{-}^{(t)}; δ), ω_{1} (φ_{+}^{(t)}; δ)}, δ > 0. \end{array}

Theorem 4

Let $K_{n} : C^{F} (J_{a}^{b}) \to C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ be any sequence of fuzzy p.l.o. Suppose that $\exists$ a sequence ${\tilde{K}}_{n} : C (J_{a}^{b}) \to C (J_{a}^{b})$ of p.l.o. satisfying the property (2). Further, let $⟨ ϕ_{n} ⟩_{n \in N}$ and $⟨ ψ_{n} ⟩_{n \in N}$ be the monotonically decreasing positive sequences such that the following conditions hold:

(i) $| {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | = o (ϕ_{n}), (e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}), \forall z \in J_{a}^{b}$ ;

(ii) $ω_{1}^{F} (φ; γ_{n}) = o (ψ_{n}), (e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}), w h e r e γ_{n} = \sqrt{‖ {\tilde{K}}_{n} (ψ) ‖}$ with $ψ (v) = (v - z)^{2}, \forall z \in J_{a}^{b} .$

Then, for all $φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})$ , the sequence $K_{n} (φ) - φ = o (ξ_{n}), (e q - s t a t_{C E}^{D}),$ where $ξ_{n} = max {ϕ_{n}, ψ_{n}}$ , $\forall n \in N$ .

Proof â–¼

Let

φ \in C^{F} (J_{a}^{b})

and

z \in J_{a}^{b}

. Since

φ_{\pm}^{(t)} \in C (J_{a}^{b})

, for a given

ϵ > 0,

\exists

δ > 0

such that

| φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (v) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) | < ϵ

, whenever

| v - z | < δ .

Hence from [ 24 ] , for all

v \in J_{a}^{b},

we obtain

| φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (v) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) | \leq (1 + \frac{(v - z)^{2}}{δ^{2}}) ω_{1} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)}; δ)

and hence we obtain

\begin{aligned} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (v); z) / - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z | \leq \\ {\tilde{\leq K}}_{n} (| φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (v) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) |; z) + M_{\pm}^{(t)} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \\ \leq ω_{1} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)}; δ) {\tilde{K}}_{n} (1 + \frac{(v - z)^{2}}{δ^{2}}; z) + M_{\pm}^{(t)} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \\ \leq ω_{1} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)}; δ) | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | + ω_{1} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)}; δ) + M_{\pm}^{(t)} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \\ + \frac{ω_{1} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)}; δ)}{δ^{2}} {\tilde{K}}_{n} (ϕ (v); z), \end{aligned}

where $M_{\pm}^{(t)} = ‖ φ_{\pm}^{(t)} ‖ .$ Then using (2) and lemma 3, we obtain

\begin{aligned} sup_{t \in J_{0}^{1}} | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (v); z) - φ_{\pm}^{(t)} (z) | \leq ω_{1}^{F} (φ; δ) | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | + ω_{1}^{F} (φ; δ) \\ + M | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | + \frac{ω_{1}^{F} (φ; δ)}{δ^{2}} {{\tilde{K}}_{n} (ϕ (v); z)}, \end{aligned}

where $M := sup_{t \in J_{0}^{1}} max {M_{+}^{(t)}, M_{-}^{(t)}} .$ Now, choosing $δ = γ_{n},$ $\forall z \in J_{a}^{b}$ we have

\begin{aligned} D (K_{n} (φ; z), φ (z)) \leq \\ \leq ω_{1}^{F} (φ; γ_{n}) | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | + 2 ω_{1}^{F} (f; γ_{n}) + M | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \\ \leq K {| {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | ω_{1}^{F} (φ; γ_{n}) + ω_{1}^{F} (φ; γ_{n}) + | {\tilde{K}}_{n} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) |}, \end{aligned}

where $K = max {M, 2} .$
For any $ϵ > 0$ , define:

U_{n} (z, ϵ) = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} D (K_{m} (φ; z), φ (z)) \geq ϵ};

\begin{aligned} U_{n, 1} (z, ϵ) = \\ = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} | {\tilde{K}}_{m} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | ω_{1}^{F} (φ; γ_{m}) \geq \frac{ϵ}{3 K}} \end{aligned}

U_{n, 2} (z, ϵ) = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} ω_{1}^{F} (φ; γ_{m}) \geq \frac{ϵ}{3 K}};

and

U_{n, 3} (z, ϵ) = {m \in N : m \leq (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}} and μ^{q_{n} - m} | {\tilde{K}}_{m} (w_{0}; z) - w_{0} (z) | \geq \frac{ϵ}{3 K}} .

Then,

\begin{aligned} \frac{‖ U_{n} (z, ϵ) ‖}{ξ_{n} (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}}} \leq \frac{‖ U_{n, 1} (z, ϵ) ‖}{ϕ_{n} ψ_{n} (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}}} + \frac{‖ U_{n, 2} (z, ϵ) ‖}{ψ_{n} (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}}} + \frac{‖ U_{n, 3} (z, ϵ) ‖}{ϕ_{n} (q_{n} - p_{n}) (1 + μ)^{q_{n}}} . \end{aligned}

Finally, using (-1) and the assumptions (i) and (ii), we reach the desired assertion.
