Approximation of Functions by the Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich Operator

We characterize the approximation of functions in the L_p-norm by the Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operator. We prove a direct and a strong converse inequality of type B in terms of an appropriate K-functional.     

Some problems of approximation theory in the spacesL p on the line with power weight

In the spaces L _p on the line with power weight, we study approximation of functions by entire functions of exponential type. Using the Dunkl difference-differential operator and the Dunkl transform, we define the generalized shift operator, the modulus of smoothness, and the K-functional. We prove a direct and an inverse theorem of Jackson-Stechkin type and of Bernstein type. We establish the equivalence between the modulus of smoothness and the K-functional.     

Weighted approximation of functions by Szász--Mirakyan-type operators

Summary We give error estimates for the weighted approximation of functions with singularities at the endpoints on the semiaxis by some modifications of Sz\'asz--Mirakyan operators. To do so, we define a new weighted modulus of smoothness and prove its equivalence to the weighted K-functional. Also, the class of functions for which the modified Sz\'asz--Mirakyan operator can be defined will be extended to a much wider set than for the original operator.     

q-Moduli of Continuity in H( ), p>0, and an Inequality of Hardy and Littlewood

Some aspects of the interplay between approximation properties of analytic functions and the smoothness of its boundary values are discussed. One main result describes the equivalence of a special q-modulus of continuity and an intrinsic K-functional. Further, a generalization of a theorem due to G. H. Hardy and J. E. Littlewood (1932, Math. Z.34, 403–439) on the growth of fractional derivatives is deduced with the help of this K-functional.     

The Modulus of Smoothness in Metric Spaces and Related Problems

We define a general variant of the modulus of smoothness in metric spaces and show that under mild condition it is equivalent to the K-functional of a couple of Besov type spaces which in special cases coincide with spaces defined by Korevaar and Schoen. We prove various symmetrization inequalities which involve the modulus, the K-functional and the isoperimetric estimators. We also characterize the Hajłasz-type Sobolev spaces defined not necessarily on doubling measure spaces by means of generalized Poincaré inequalities. This require to study of some variants of the Fefferman–Stein sharp functions as well as the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operators.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript>∞</Superscript>-functional calculus and models of Nagy–Foiaş type for sectorial operators

We prove that a sectorial operator admits an H ^∞-functional calculus if and only if it has a functional model of Nagy–Foiaş type. Furthermore, we give a concrete formula for the characteristic function (in a generalized sense) of such an operator. More generally, this approach applies to any sectorial operator by passing to a different norm (the McIntosh square function norm). We also show that this quadratic norm is close to the original one, in the sense that there is only a logarithmic gap between them.     

On the best approximations and rate of convergence of decompositions in the root vectors of an operator

We establish upper bounds of the best approximations of elements of a Banach space B by the root vectors of an operator A that acts in B. The corresponding estimates of the best approximations are expressed in terms of a K-functional associated with the operator A. For the operator of differentiation with periodic boundary conditions, these estimates coincide with the classical Jackson inequalities for the best approximations of functions by trigonometric polynomials. In terms of K-functionals, we also prove the abstract Dini-Lipschitz criterion of convergence of partial sums of the decomposition of f from B in the root vectors of the operator A to f     

Strong converse inequalities for Baskakov operators

We give a strong converse inequality of type B in terms of unified K-functional K_λ^α( f,t²)(0λ1, 0<α<2) for Baskakov operators.     

Interpolation of Classical Lorentz Spaces1

We describe the K-functional and identify the real interpolated spaces of general quasi–Banach couples of classical Lorentz spaces. Applications are given which include interpolation of spaces of Lorentz–Zygmund type.     

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-saturation for linear combination of Bernstein-Kantorovich operators

We study the L _p -saturation for the linear combination of Bernstein-Kantorovich operators. As a result we obtain the saturation class by using K-functional as well as some modulus of smoothness.

On multivariate Baskakov operator

In this paper, we study multivariate Baskakov operator Bn,d(f,x). We first show that the operator can retain some properties of the original function f, such as monotony, semi-additivity and Lipschitz condition, etc. Secondly, we discuss the monotony on the sequence of multivariate Baskakov operator Bn,d(f,x) for n when the function f is convex. Then, we propose, for estimating the rate of approximation, a new modulus of smoothness and prove the modulus to be equivalent to certain K-functional. Finally, with the modulus of smoothness as metric, we establish a strong direct theorem by using a decomposition technique for the operator.     

Approximation properties of rth order generalized Bernstein polynomials based on <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-calculus

In this paper we introduce a generalization of Bernstein polynomials based on q calculus.With the help of Bohman-Korovkin type theorem,we obtain A-statistical approximation properties of these operators.Also,by using the Modulus of continuity and Lipschitz class,the statistical rate of convergence is established.We also gives the rate of A-statistical convergence by means of Peetre's type K-functional.At last,approximation properties of a rth order generalization of these operators is discussed.

The inflation class operator

We consider the inflation class operator, denoted by F, where for any class K of algebras, F(K) is the class of all inflations of algebras in K. We study the interaction of this operator with the usual algebraic operators H, S andP, and describe the partially-ordered monoid generated by H, S, P andF (with the isomorphism operator I as an identity).

Approximation by Kantorovich-Szász Type Operators Based on Brenke Type Polynomials

In this article, we give a generalization of the Kantorovich-Szász type operators defined by means of the Brenke type polynomials introduced in the literature and obtain convergence properties of these operators by using Korovkin’s theorem. Some graphical examples using the Maple program for this approximation are given. We also establish the order of convergence by using modulus of smoothness and Peetre’s K-functional and give a Voronoskaja type theorem. In addition, we deal with the convergence of these operators in a weighted space.     

Averages Using Translation Induced by Laguerre and Jacobi Expansions

Approximation by averages of the generalized translation induced by Laguerre and Jacobi expansions will be shown to satisfy a strong converse inequality of type B with the appropriate K -functional. April 9, 1998. Date revised: February 22, 1999. Date accepted: March 5, 1999.     

Interpolation of subcouples and quotient couples

We extend recent results by Pisier onK-subcouples, i.e. subcouples of an interpolation couple that preserve theK-functional (up to constants) and corresponding notions for quotient couples. Examples include interpolation (in the pointwise sense) and a reinterpretation of the Adamyan-Arov-Krein theorem for Hankel operators. This work was done at the Mittag-Leffler Institute. I am particularly grateful to Richard Rochberg for helpful discussions.     

Hyperbolic Wavelet Approximation

We study the multivariate approximation by certain partial sums (hyperbolic wavelet sums) of wavelet bases formed by tensor products of univariate wavelets. We characterize spaces of functions which have a prescribed approximation error by hyperbolic wavelet sums in terms of a K -functional and interpolation spaces. The results parallel those for hyperbolic trigonometric cross approximation of periodic functions [DPT]. October 16, 1995. Date revised: August 28, 1996.     

Degree of Lp-approximation by certain positive convolution operators

The degree of L_p-approximation for a class of positive convolution operators is investigated. Recent results of De Vore, Bojanic, and Shisha for the uniform approximation by these operators and the K-functional of Peetre are employed to obtain the degree of approximation in terms of the integral modulus of smoothness.     

An application of the Lovász–Schrijver <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>) operator to the stable set problem

Although the lift-and-project operators of Lovász and Schrijver have been the subject of intense study, their M(K, K) operator has received little attention. We consider an application of this operator to the stable set problem. We begin with an initial linear programming (LP) relaxation consisting of clique and non-negativity inequalities, and then apply the operator to obtain a stronger extended LP relaxation. We discuss theoretical properties of the resulting relaxation, describe the issues that must be overcome to obtain an effective practical implementation, and give extensive computational results. Remarkably, the upper bounds obtained are sometimes stronger than those obtained with semidefinite programming techniques.
