ON AN APPROXIMATING LINEAR POSITIVE OPERATOR OF CHENEY-SHARMA
1. INTRODUCTION
It is known that by starting from two combinatorial identities of Abel-Jensen
(1.1) ,
(1.2) ,
(1.1)
(1.2)
Cheney and Sharma [1] have introduced and investigated two linear polynomial positive operators, of Bernstein type, and , defined - for any function - by the following formulas
where
It is obvious that for these operators reduce to the classical operator of Bernstein.
In this paper we prove that the second operator preserves the linear functions and we establish several expressions for the remainder term in the corresponding approximation formula.
2. THE VALUE OF THE OPERATOR FOR THE MONOMIAL
In [1] it was pointed out that the operator preserves only the constant functions, after calculation of some integrals involved. But we shall prove that preserves the linear functions.
It is easy to see that the following theorem is true.
THEOREM 2.1. The approximating polynomial is interpolatory at both sides of the interval , for any nonnegative value of the parameter .
THEOREM 2.1. The approximating polynomial
Proof. In order to prove this result, we have only to observe that we can write
Let us consider next the monomials for any . We shall now state and prove
Theorem 2.2. The operator reproduces the linear functions.
Proof. As it has been observed in [1], if we replace in the identity (1.2) and , we find that , that is, the operator reproduces the constants.
Proof. As it has been observed in [1], if we replace in the identity (1.2)
We shall prove that we also have .
Indeed, one can see that we can write
Indeed, one can see that we can write
because
If we change and then denote again the index of summation by , we have
since
In order to find the first sum, we replace in the identity (1.2) by and .
We get
If we multiply by and divide by , we obtain
which represents the first sum.
For finding the second sum we shall use the identity (1.2). We replace by and and we find
.
It follows that we can write
For finding the second sum we shall use the identity (1.2). We replace
It follows that we can write
Consequently, we have
Therefore we have
as in the case of the classical Bernstein operator .
3. THE REMAINDER
Since the operator reproduces the linear functions, it is clear that the approximation formula
has the degree of exactness .
First we shall give an integral representation of the remainder.
THEOREM 3.1. If the function has a continuous second derivative on the interval , then we can represent the remainder of the approximation formula (3.1) under the following integral form
First we shall give an integral representation of the remainder.
THEOREM 3.1. If the function
where
and operates on as a function of .
Proof. The representation (3.2) can be obtained at once if we apply the wellknown theorem of Peano.
Proof. The representation (3.2) can be obtained at once if we apply the wellknown theorem of Peano.
For the Peano kernel associated to the operator we have
In order to find explicit expressions of this kernel, we assume that and we can write
for , where .
If we assume that , then we obtain
If we assume that
while for we get
For we have
Because the degree of exactness of formula (3.1) is one, by replacing , the corresponding remainder vanishes and we obtain
.
Therefore we can write
Therefore we can write
Consequently, the representation (3.4) can be replaced by
if and , while (3.5) can be replaced by
when .
THEOREM 3.2. If , then the remainder of the Cheney-Sharma approximation formula (3.1) can be represented under the following form
THEOREM 3.2. If
Proof. From (3.6)-(3.9) it is easy to see that on the square the function represents a polygonal continuous line situated beneath the -axis.
By applying the first law of the mean to the integral (3.2), we get
and formula (3.1) becomes
If we replace here , we obtain
Consequently, we can write
Formulas (3.11) and (3.12) lead us to the desired approximation formula with the expression (3.10) for the remainder term.
In the special case , when , the formulas corresponding to (3.2)-(3.3) and (3.10) were first established in our old paper [3].
Remark. Since the polynomial is interpolatory at both sides of the interval , it is clear that contains the factor .
Since and for any convex function of the first order, we can apply a criterion of T . Popoviciu [2] and we can find that the remainder is of a simple form.
Consequently, we can state
THEOREM 3.3. If the second-order divided differences of the function are bounded on the interval , then there exist three points and from which might depend on , such that the remainder of the approximation formula (3.1) can be represented under the form
THEOREM 3.3. If the second-order divided differences of the function
It is clear that, if and we apply the mean-value theorem of divided differences, we can obtain formula (3.10) from formula (3.13).
