Abstract:
The rate of pointwise convergence for a sequence of positive linear operators Ln approximating continuous functions on a finite interval is considered. The complete asymptotic expansion for the operators Ln as n tends to infinity is presented. It turns out that the central factorial numbers of first and second kind play an important role in the asymptotic expansion. The present work is an extension to that reported by Ivan and Raa.
