Kantorovich-type operators associated with
a variant of Jain operators
Abstract.
This note focuses on a sequence of linear positive operators of integral type in the sense of Kantorovich. The construction is based on a class of discrete operators representing a new variant of Jain operators. By our statements, we prove that the integral family turns out to be useful in approximating continuous signals defined on unbounded intervals. The main tools in obtaining these results are moduli of smoothness of first and second order, K-functional and Bohman-Korovkin criterion.

The starting point of the paper is a class of operators introduced by G.C. Jain [8]. The construction is based on a Poisson-type distribution with two parameters given by
for and . With the help of Lagrange inversion, in [1, Lemma 1] was proved
(1.1) |
Considering , Kronecker’s delta symbol, Jain defined the operators
(1.2) |
where and whenever the above series is convergent. Here stands for the space of real-valued continuous functions defined on . Clearly, , , are linear and positive operators.
In recent years, the investigation of these operators have been invigorated obtaining new properties as well as various generalizations. For a brief synthesis, [2] can be consulted.
Set . We consider the functions , , . The first three monomials represent the so-called Korovkin test functions, having an essential role in the study of the convergence of any sequence of linear positive operators towards the identity operator. For the operators defined by (1.2), the following identities
(1.3) |
take place, see [8, Eqs. (2.13)-(2.14)]. We mention that using the Stirling numbers of the second kind, all moments were explicitly calculated in [1, Proposition 1].
Many classical linear positive operators preserve and , which implies that they have affine functions as fixed points. Such operators are also called Markov type. This property becomes useful in the study of the approximation properties which the operators enjoy. Pursuing this goal, in [7] the authors introduced and investigated the following variant of Jain operators
(1.4) |
where , . The following identities
(1.5) |
hold, see [7, Lemma 2.1].
The aim of this paper is to define an integral Kantorovich-type generalization of , , operators and to establish some approximation properties. These will be achieved in the next two sections.
We specify that we wished the presentation to be self-contained to be accessible to a wide audience.
2. Integral type construction
Kantorovich-type constructions are based on replacing the values of the function on the nodes , , with average values of the function obtained by integrals on intervals of the form , . The utility of this type of operators is given by the fact that such classes can approximate functions belonging to larger spaces.
The first approach in Kantorovich sense of , , operators was achieved by Umar and Razi [15]. They defined and analyzed the operators given by the formula
(2.1) |
where is locally integrable function and the right hand side of relation (2.1) is finite.
Our proposal for an integral extension of the operators defined by (1.4) has the following form
(2.2) |
where
(i) is a sequence of strictly decreasing positive numbers such that ,
(ii) belongs to the space of integrable functions defined on such that the series in (2.2) is absolutely convergent.
In the above construction we used a flexible net on namely . The operators also admit the integral representation
with the kernel
where is the characteristic function of the interval with respect to , .
For particular case and , we reobtain the operators defined at (2.1). Further, if we choose in (2.1), the operators turn into Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators introduced by Butzer [4, Eq. (5)]. Clearly, for each , is a linear positive operator. In what follows we establish some computational results.
Lemma 2.1
Let , , be the operators defined by (2.2). For each the following identities
(2.3) |
(2.4) |
(2.5) |
take place.
Proof.
We indicate the first two central moments of the operators. Set , .
(2.6) |
We recall the Bohman-Korovkin criterion. Briefly speaking, this theorem says: if a sequence of linear and positive operators approximates uniformly the test functions , , then it approximates all continuous functions defined on a compact interval.
Remark 2.2.
Based on Bohman-Korovkin theorem, studying relations (1.3) it can be observed that the sequence does not tend to the identity operator. To turn it into an approximation process we will proceed as follows. For each , the constant will be replaced by a number . If , then
uniformly on any compact interval . Consequently,
What is important to point out is that for the Kantorovich variant defined at (2.2) we no longer have to make this change on the parameter, as will be seen in the next paragraph.
3. Approximation properties of operators
We establish sufficient conditions for the sequence to become an approximation process in a certain specified space.
Throughout the paragraph we use standard notations. Set the Banach space of all real-valued bounded functions defined on , endowed with the norm of the uniform convergence (briefly, sup-norm) defined by for every . Also, set , endowed with the sup-norm.
We mention that the operators , , are non expansive in the space , this means
(3.1) |
for any local integrable function belonging to . As a consequence, for each , maps continuously into itself.
Theorem 3.1
Let the operators , , be defined by (2.2) such that the following condition
(3.2) |
is fulfilled. For any compact interval , the following relation
occurs, provided is continuous and bounded on .
Proof.
A direct way to prove this result is to use a general result established by Altomare [3, Theorem 4.1] which says
Let be a locally compact subset of , . Consider a lattice subspace of containing the set and let be a sequence of positive linear operators from into such that for every ,
Then, for every ,
In the above stands for the linear space of all real-valued functions defined on and the function indicates the -th coordinate function,
In order to obtain the error of approximation we use the modulus of continuity defined as follows
where and .
Theorem 3.2
Let the operators , , be defined by (2.2). For any local integrable function defined on belonging to , we get
(3.3) |
where
(3.4) |
Proof.
To achieve the statement, we appeal to an old result established by Shisha and Mond [13]: if is a linear and positive operator, then one has
for every bounded function . Using this inequality for operators, we take into account relation (2.3). Based on (2.6), we can write
(3.5) |
Choosing we arrive at (3.3) and the proof is over. ∎
Remark 3.3.
Let us suppose that is uniformly continuous on . In this case it is known that , see, e.g., the monograph [5, page 40]. If we request that the condition (3.2) to be fulfilled, then relation (3.3) leads to the fact that is pointwise convergent to for any . Also, (3.2) guarantees that the upper-bound for the error of approximation has the magnitude .
As a special case we indicate the rate of convergence of our operators by means of the elements of -Hölder continuous class
(3.6) |
where and is a nonnegative constant independent of .
Theorem 3.4
Proof.
We can also consider functions satisfying another Lipschitz type condition defined by Szász [14, Eq. (8)]. Set
where and is a nonnegative constant independent of .
Since for and , following a demonstration path similar to that indicated in Theorem 3.4, we can state
Remark 3.5.
We focus on establishing the degree of approximation in terms of the second modulus of smoothness of a function . It is given as follows
Also, a subtle measurement of the error of approximation is provided by K-functional introduced by Peetre [12]. If are two Banach spaces with continuously embedded in , , the K-functional is defined for each by the formula
This quantity describes properties of approximation of . More detailed, the inequality for implies that can be approximated with the error in by an element whose norm is not too large, namely . For our purpose, we choose
both spaces being endowed with the sup-norm . Thus, we will use
Based for example on [10, Proposition 6.1], between and K-functional the following relations hold: the positive constants and exist such that
(3.9) |
Theorem 3.6
Let the operators , , be defined by (2.2).
For every the following inequality
(3.10) |
holds, where is a constant independent of and
The quantities and are defined by (3.4).
Proof.
Our approach follows a route similar to the proof that appears in [6, Theorem 3.2] aiming at a Kantorovich modification for Szász-Mirakjan operators based on Jain and Pethe operators [9].
At first we define the operators ,
(3.11) |
Using relations (2.3) and (2.4), obviously for . Therefore, the first central moment is null. Since verifies (3.1), we have
(3.12) |
for any . Let be arbitrarily chosen. By Taylor’s expansion with integral form of the remainder, we get
for and . Applying on both sides, we can write successively
In the above we used (3.11). Considering the increase
it allows us to write
Returning at (3.11), with the help of (3.12), definition of modulus of continuity and (3.5), we get
Taking infimum with respect to all and using (3.9) we arrive at (3.10) which concludes the proof. ∎
Remark 3.7.
Based on the fact that and relation (3.2) takes place, we deduce for any .
Conclusion.
In this article we propose an integral version in Kantorovich sense of a family of discrete operators recently obtained from genuine Jain operators. The proposed construction involves sub-intervals of the form , , these being used in several previous studies. A notable aspect in the fact that the proposed integral variant is an approximation process for any fixed parameter belonging to the interval . In order to have the same quality, in the discrete operators has to be replaced with a sequence of parameters such that . For the newly created sequence of linear positive operators, the highlighted approximation properties involve locally integrable functions in different functions spaces. Upper bounds of approximation error have been established using the first and second order modulus of smoothness.
