1 Introduction and preliminariesIn , Bernstein [] introduced the following sequence of operators Bn : C[, ] → C[, ]defined for any n ∈N and f ∈ C[, ]:

Bn(f ; x) =n∑

)xk( – x)n–kf

(kn

), x ∈ [, ]. (.)

By applying the idea of q-integers, the q-Bernstein operators were introduced by Lupaş[] and later by Philip []. Since then, many authors introduced q-generalization of variousoperators and investigated several approximation properties. For instance, the q-analog ofStancu-Beta operators in [] and []; the q-analog of Bernstein-Kantorovich operators in[]; the q-Baskakov-Kantorovich operators in []; the q-Szász-Mirakjan operators in [];the q-Bleimann-Butzer-Hahn operators in [] and in []; the q-analog of Baskakov andBaskakov-Kantorovich operators in []; the q-analog of Szász-Kantorovich operators in[]; and the q-analog of generalized Bernstein-Schurer operators in []. Besides this, wealso refer to some recent related work on this topic: e.g. [] and [].

First we give here some notations on the (p, q)-calculus.The (p, q)-integer was introduced in order to generalize or unify several forms of q-

oscillator algebras well known in the earlier physics literature related to the representation

theory of single parameter quantum algebras []. The (p, q)-integer [n]p,q is defined by

[n]p,q =pn – qn

p – q, n = , , , . . . , < q < p ≤ .

The (p, q)-binomial expansion is

(x + y)np,q := (x + y)(px + qy)

(px + qy

) · · · (pn–x + qn–y)

and the (p, q)-binomial coefficients are defined by

[nk

]

p,q

:=[n]p,q!

[k]p,q![n – k]p,q!.

Details on the (p, q)-calculus can be found in []. For p = , all the notions of the (p, q)-calculus are reduced to the q-calculus [].

In , Schurer [] introduced and studied the operators Sm,� : C[,� + ] → C[, ]defined by

Sm,�(f ; x) =m+�∑

k=

(m + �

k

)xk( – x)m+�–kf

(km

), x ∈ [, ], (.)

for any m ∈N and fixed � ∈N.The q-analog of the Bernstein-Schurer operators is defined as follows (cf. []):

Bm,�(f ; q; x) =m+�∑

k=

[m + �

k

]

q

xkm+�–k–∏

s=

( – qsx

)f(

[k]q

[m]q

), x ∈ [, ], (.)

for any m ∈N, f ∈ C[,� + ], and fixed �.Recently, Mursaleen et al. [] applied (p, q)-calculus in approximation theory and intro-

duced first (p, q)-analog of Bernstein operators. They have also introduced and studied theapproximation properties of the (p, q)-analog of the Bernstein-Stancu operators in [].

In this paper, we introduce the (p, q)-analog of these operators. We investigate someapproximation properties of these operators and obtain the rate of convergence by usingthe modulus of continuity. We also establish some direct theorems.

2 Construction of (p, q)-Bernstein-Schurer operatorsLet < q < p ≤ . We construct the class of generalized (p, q)-Bernstein-Schurer operatorsas follows:

Bp,qm,�(f ; x) =

m+�∑

k=

[m + �

k

]

p,q

xkm+�–k–∏

s=

(ps – qsx

)f(

[k]p,q

[m]p,q

), x ∈ [, ], (.)

for any m ∈N, f ∈ C[,� + ], and fixed �. Clearly, the operators defined by (.) are linearand positive. If we put p = in (.), then the (p, q)-Schurer operators are reduced to theq-Bernstein-Schurer operators.

Lemma . For Bp,qm,�(·; ·) given by (.), we have the following identities:

(i) Bp,qm,�(e; x) = ;

(ii) Bp,qm,�(e; x) = [m+�]p,q

[m]p,qx;

3 On the convergence of (p, q)-Bernstein-Schurer operatorsLet f ∈ C[,γ ]. The modulus of continuity of f , denoted by ω(f , δ), gives the maximumoscillation of f in any interval of length not exceeding δ > and it is given by the relation

ω(f , δ) = sup|y–x|≤δ

∣∣f (y) – f (x)∣∣, x, y ∈ [,γ ].

Page 6: link.springer.com...Mursaleenetal.JournalofInequalitiesandApplications20152015:249 DOI10.1186/s13660-015-0767-4 RESEARCH OpenAccess Someapproximationresultson Bernstein

Mursaleen et al. Journal of Inequalities and Applications (2015) 2015:249 Page 6 of 12

It is well known that limδ→+ ω(f , δ) = for f ∈ C[,γ ] and for any δ > one has

∣∣f (y) – f (x)∣∣ ≤

( |y – x|δ

+ )

ω(f , δ). (.)

For q ∈ (, ) and p ∈ (q, ] obviously we have limm→∞[m]p,q = p–q . In order to obtain the

convergence results of the operator Bp,qm,�, we take a sequence qm ∈ (, ) and pm ∈ (qm, ]

such that limm→∞ pm = and limm→∞ qm = , so we get limm→∞[m]pm ,qm = ∞.

Theorem . Let p = pm, q = qm satisfying < qm < pm ≤ such that limm→∞ pm = ,limm→∞ qm = . Then for each f ∈ C[,� + ],

limm→∞ Bpm ,qm

m,� (f ; x) = f , (.)

is uniformly on [, ].

Proof The proof is based on the well-known Korovkin theorem regarding the convergenceof a sequence of linear and positive operators, so it is enough to prove the conditions

Bpm ,qmm,� (ej; x) = xj, j = , , , {as m → ∞}

uniformly on [, ].Clearly we have

limm→∞ Bpm ,qm

m,� (e; x) = .

By making a simple calculation we get

limm→∞

[m + �]pm ,qm

[m]pm ,qm= , as < qm < pm ≤ .

Since < qm < pm ≤ , we get

limm→∞

[m + �]pm ,qm

[m]pm ,qm

= .

Hence we have

limm→∞ Bpm ,qm

m,� (e; x) = x,

limm→∞ Bpm ,qm

m,� (e; x) = x. �

Theorem . If f ∈ C[,� + ], then

∣∣Bp,qm,�(f ; x) – f (x)

∣∣ ≤ ωf (δm),

Since

we have∣∣∣∣B

Now taking the infimum on the right hand side over all g ∈W, we get

In view of the property of the K-functional, we get

Theorem . Let f ∈ C[,�+] be such that f ′, f ′′ ∈ C[,�+], and the sequence {pm}, {qm}satisfying < qm < pm ≤ such that pm → , qm → and pm

m → α, qmm → β as m → ∞,

where ≤ α,β < . Then

f ′′(x)

is uniform on [,� + ], where < λ ≤ .

Proof From the Taylor formula, we have

f (t) = f (x) + f ′(x)(t – x) +

f ′′(x)(t – x) + r(t, x)(e – x),

where r(t, x) is the remainder term and limt→x r(t, x) = , therefore we have

[m]pm ,qm

Now by applying the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, we have

(r(t, x)(t – x); x

) ≤√

Bpm ,qmm,�

(r(t, x); x

Bpm ,qmm,�

((t – x); x

Since r(x, x) = , and r(t, x) ∈ C[,� + ], from Theorem ., we have

Bpm ,qmm,�

(r(t, x); x

)= r(x, x) = ,

which implies that

limm→∞[m]pm ,qm

where λ ∈ (, ] depends on the sequence {pm}.Hence we have

limm→∞[m]pm ,qm

(Bpm ,qm

m,� (f ; x) – f (x))

=x(λ – αx)

f ′′(x).

This completes the proof. �

Now we give the rate of convergence of the operators Bp,qm,�(f ; x) in terms of the elements

of the usual Lipschitz class LipM(ν).Let f ∈ C[, m + �], M > and < ν ≤ . We recall that f belongs to the class LipM(ν) if

the inequality

∣∣f (t) – f (x)∣∣ ≤ M|t – x|ν (

t, x ∈ (, ])

is satisfied.

Theorem . Let < q < p ≤ . Then for each f ∈ LipM(ν) we have

∣∣Bp,qm,�(f ; x) – f (x)

∣∣ ≤ Mδνm(x),

where

δm(x) =

Proof By the monotonicity of the operators Bp,qm,�(f ; x), we can write

∣∣Bp,qm,�(f ; x) – f (x)

Choosing δ : δm(x) =√

Bp,qm,�((e – x); x), we obtain

∣∣Bp,qm,�(f ; x) – f (x)

∣∣ ≤ Mδνm(x).

Hence, the desired result is obtained. �

5 ConclusionBy using the notion of (p, q)-integers we introduced (p, q)-Bernstein-Schurer operatorsand investigated some approximation properties of these operators. We obtained the rateof convergence by using the modulus of continuity and also established some direct theo-rems. These results generalize the approximation results proved for q-Bernstein-Schureroperators, which are directly obtained by our results for p = .
