By using the&nbsp;theory of polynomials of binomial type \((p_m)\) he has associated to a&nbsp;function \(f\in C[0,1]\) a linear operator defined by the formula<br>\[<br>\left( T_m f\right) (x) = \tfrac{1}{p_m(1)} \textstyle\sum\limits _{k=0} ^m \tbinom{m}{k}<br>p_k (x) p_{m-k} (1-x) f\big(\tfrac{k}{m}\big).<br>\]<br>Examples of such operators were considered in several subsequent papers.</p><p>In this paper we present a convergence theorem corresponding to the sequence&nbsp;\(\left( T_mf\right)\) and we also present a more general sequence of operators&nbsp;of approximation \(S_{m,r,s}\), where \(r\) and \(s\) are nonnegative integers&nbsp;such that \(2sr\leq m\).</p><p>We give an integral expression for the remainders, as well as a representation&nbsp;by using divided differences of second order.</p> ER -
