Abstract

The present paper describes a unified approach to quantitative approximation theorems for certain linear operators L including positive linear ones. It is shown for so-called almost lattice homomorphisms A that the difference \((L-A)(f,x)\) can be estimated in terms of a certain three parameter functional \(\Omega\). This functional is in turn bounded from above by various classical seminorms such as (modifications of) moduli of continuity of order 1 and 2. There is a large variety of opportunities to combine results of this paper in order to arrive at direct quantitative assertions. Several examples show that the general theory implies a number of results which improve those known so far.
