This paper deals with approximating properties of the q-generalization of the Szasz-Mirakjanoperators in the case q > 1. Quantitative estimates of the convergence in the polynomial-weightedspaces and the Voronovskaja’s theorem are given. In particular, it is proved that the rate ofapproximation by the q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators (q > 1 ) is of order q−n versus 1/n for the classicalSzasz-Mirakjan operators.
1. Introduction
The approximation of functions by using linear positive operators introduced via q-Calculusis currently under intensive research. The pioneer work has been made by Lupas [1] andPhillips [2] who proposed generalizations of Bernstein polynomials based on the q-integers.The q-Bernstein polynomials quickly gained the popularity, see [3–11]. Other importantclasses of discrete operators have been investigated by using q-Calculus in the case 0 < q < 1,for example, q-Meyer-Konig operators [12–14], q-Bleimann, Butzer and Hahn operators [15–17], q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators [18–21], and q-Baskakov operators [22, 23].
In the present paper, we introduce a q-generalization of the Szasz operators in the caseq > 1. Notice that different q-generalizations of Szasz-Mirakjan operators were introducedand studied by Aral and Gupta [18, 19], by Radu [20], and by Mahmudov [21] in the case0 < q < 1. Since we define q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators for q > 1, the rate of approximationby the q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators (q > 1) is of order q−n, which is essentially better than 1/n(rate of approximation for the classical Szasz-Mirakjan operators). Thus our q-Szasz-Mirakjanoperators have better approximation properties than the classical Szasz-Mirakjan operatorsand the other q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators.
2 Abstract and Applied Analysis
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give standard notations that will beused throughout the paper, introduce q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators, and evaluate the momentsof Mn,q. In Section 3 we study convergence properties of the q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators inthe polynomial-weighted spaces. In Section 4, we give the quantitative Voronovskaja-typeasymptotic formula.
2. Construction of Mn,q and Estimation of Moments
Throughout the paper we employ the standard notations of q-calculus, see [24, 25].q-integer and q-factorial are defined by
[n]q :=
⎧⎪⎨
⎪⎩
1 − qn
1 − q, if q ∈ R+ \ {1},
n, if q = 1,for n ∈ N, [0] = 0,
[n]q! := [1]q[2]q . . . [n]q, for n ∈ N, [0]! = 1.
(2.1)
For integers 0 ≤ k ≤ n q-binomial is defined by
[nk
]
q
:=[n]q!
[k]q![n − k]q!. (2.2)
The q-derivative of a function f(x), denoted by Dqf , is defined by
(Dqf)(x) :=
f(qx) − f(x)
(q − 1
)x
, x /= 0,(Dqf)(0) := lim
x→ 0
(Dqf)(x). (2.3)
The formula for the q-derivative of a product and quotient are
Dq(u(x)v(x)) = Dq(u(x))v(x) + u(qx)Dq(v(x)). (2.4)
Also, it is known that
Dqxn = [n]qx
n−1, DqE(ax) = aE(qax). (2.5)
If |q| > 1, or 0 < |q| < 1 and |z| < 1/(1 − q), the q-exponential function eq(x) was defined byJackson
eq(z) :=∞∑
k=0
zk
[k]q!. (2.6)
Abstract and Applied Analysis 3
If |q| > 1, eq(z) is an entire function and
eq(z) =∞∏
j=0
(
1 +(q − 1
) z
qj+1
)
,∣∣q∣∣ > 1. (2.7)
There is another q-exponential function which is entire when 0 < |q| < 1 and which convergeswhen |z| < 1/|1 − q| if |q| > 1. To obtain it we must invert the base in (2.6), that is, q → 1/q:
Eq(z) := e1/q(z) =∞∑
k=0
qk(k−1)/2zk
[k]q!. (2.8)
We immediately obtain from (2.7) that
Eq(z) =∞∏
j=0
(1 +(1 − q
)zqj), 0 <
∣∣q∣∣ < 1. (2.9)
The q-difference equations corresponding to eq(z) and Eq(z) are
Dqeq(az) = aeq(qz), DqEq(az) = aEq
(qaz),
D1/qeq(z) = D1/qE1/q(z) = E1/q
(q−1z)= eq(q−1z), q /= 0.
(2.10)
Let Cp be the set of all real valued functions f , continuous on [0,∞), such that wpf isuniformly continuous and bounded on [0,∞) endowed with the norm
∥∥f∥∥p := sup
x∈[0,∞)wp(x)
∣∣f(x)
∣∣. (2.11)
Here
w0(x) := 1, wp(x) := (1 + xp)−1, if p ∈ N. (2.12)
The corresponding Lipschitz classes are given for 0 < α ≤ 2 by
Δ2hf(x) := f(x + 2h) − 2f(x + h) + f(x),

Now we introduce the q-parametric Szasz-Mirakjan operator.

Definition 2.1. Let q > 1 and n ∈ N. For f : [0,∞) → R one defines the Szasz-Mirakjanoperator based on the q-integers
Mn,q

k
[k]q!eq(−[n]qq−kx
). (2.14)
Similarly as a classical Szasz-Mirakjan operator Sn, the operator Mn,q is linear andpositive. Furthermore, in the case of q → 1+ we obtain classical Szasz-Mirakjan operators.
Moments Mn,q(tm;x) are of particular importance in the theory of approximationby positive operators. From (2.14) one easily derives the following recurrence formula andexplicit formulas for moments Mn,q(tm;x), m = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Lemma 2.2. Let q > 1. The following recurrence formula holds

Lemma 2.3. The following identities hold for all q > 1, x ∈ [0,∞), n ∈ N, and k ≥ 0:
xDqsnk(q;x)= [n]q

(2.17)
where snk(q;x) := (1/qk(k−1)/2)([n]kqxk/[k]q!)eq(−[n]qq−kx).
Proof. The first identitiy follows from the following simple calculations

(2.18)
The second one follows from the first:

Proof. For a fixed x ∈ R+, by the q-Taylor theorem [24], we obtain
ϕn(t) =∞∑

Choosing t = 0 and taking into account

Lemma 2.5. Assume that q > 1. For every x ∈ [0,∞) there hold

Now we prove explicit formula for the momentsMn,q(tm;x), which is a q-analogue ofa result of Becker, see [26, Lemma 3].
Lemma 2.6. For q > 1, m ∈ N there holds
Mn,q(tm;x) =m∑

where
Sq

(m, j − 1
), m ≥ 0, j ≥ 1,
Sq(0, 0) = 1, Sq(m, 0) = 0, m > 0, Sq
(m, j)= 0, m < j.
(2.30)
In particularMn,q(tm;x) is a polynomial of degreem without a constant term.
Proof. Because ofMn,q(t;x) = x,Mn,q(t2;x) = x2+x/[n]q, the representation (2.29) holds truefor m = 1, 2 with Sq(2, 1) = 1, Sq(1, 1) = 1.
Now assume (2.29) to be valued form then by Lemma 2.3 we have

Remark 2.7. Notice that Sq(m, j) are Stirling numbers of the second kind introduced byGoodman et al. in [8]. For q = 1 the formulae (2.30) become recurrence formulas satisfiedby Stirling numbers of the second type.
3. Mn,q in Polynomial-Weighted Spaces
Lemma 3.1. Let p ∈ N ∪ {0} and q ∈ (1,∞) be fixed. Then there exists a positive constant K1(q, p)such that
∥∥Mn,q
(1/wp;x
)∥∥p≤ K1
(q, p), n ∈ N. (3.1)
Moreover for every f ∈ Cp one has
∥∥Mn,q
(f)∥∥p≤ K1
(q, p)∥∥f∥∥p, n ∈ N. (3.2)
Thus Mn,q is a linear positive operator from Cp into Cp for any p ∈ N ∪ {0}.
Abstract and Applied Analysis 9
Proof. The inequality (3.1) is obvious for p = 0. Let p ≥ 1. Then by (2.29)we have

K1(q, p) is a positive constant depending on p and q. From this follows (3.1). On the otherhand

for every f ∈ Cp. By applying (3.1), we obtain (3.2).
Lemma 3.2. Let p ∈ N ∪ {0} and q ∈ (1,∞) be fixed. Then there exists a positive constant K2(q, p)such that
∥∥∥∥∥Mn,q

[n]q, n ∈ N. (3.5)
Proof. The formula (2.25) imply (3.5) for p = 0. We have

for p, n ∈ N. If p = 1 then we get

Corollary 3.5. If p ∈ N ∪ {0}, f ∈ Cp, q > 1 and x ∈ [0,∞), then
limn→∞
Mn,q
(f ;x)= f(x). (3.21)
This converegnce is uniform on every [a, b], 0 ≤ a < b.
Remark 3.6. Theorem 3.4 shows the rate of approximation by the q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators(q > 1) is of order q−n versus 1/n for the classical Szasz-Mirakjan operators.
4. Convergence of q-Szasz-Mirakjan Operators
An interesting problem is to determine the class of all continuous functions f such thatMn,q(f) converges to f uniformly on the whole interval [0,∞) as n → ∞. This problemwas investigated by Totik [27, Theorem 1] and de la Cal and Carcamo [28, Theorem 1]. Thefollowing result is a q-analogue of Theorem 1 [28].
Theorem 4.1. Assume that f : [0,∞) → R is bounded or uniformly continuous. Let
f∗(z) = f(z2), z ∈ [0,∞). (4.1)
One has, for all t > 0 and x ≥ 0,
∣∣Mn,q
(f ;x) − f(x)
∣∣ ≤ 2ω
(
f∗;
√1
[n]q
)
. (4.2)
Therefore, Mn,q(f ;x) converges to f uniformly on [0,∞) as n → ∞, whenever f∗ is uniformlycontinuous.
Proof. By the definition of f∗ we have
Mn,q
(f ;x)= Mn,q
(f∗(√·);x). (4.3)
Abstract and Applied Analysis 13
Thus we can write
∣∣Mn,q
(f ;x) − f(x)

showing (4.2), and completing the proof.
Next we prove Voronovskaja type result for q-Szasz-Mirakjan operators.
Theorem 4.2. Assume that q ∈ (1,∞). For any f ∈ C2p the following equality holds
limn→∞
[n]q(Mn,q
(f ;x) − f(x)
)=
12f ′′(x)x, (4.9)
for every x ∈ [0,∞).
Proof. Let x ∈ [0,∞) be fixed. By the Taylor formula we may write
f(t) = f(x) + f ′(x)(t − x) +12f ′′(x)(t − x)2 + r(t;x)(t − x)2, (4.10)
where r(t;x) is the Peano form of the remainder, r(·;x) ∈ Cp, and limt→xr(t;x) = 0. ApplyingMn,q to (4.10) we obtain
[n](Mn,q
(f ;x) − f(x)
)= f ′(x)[n]qMn,q(t − x;x)
+12f ′′(x)[n]qMn,q
((t − x)2;x
)+ [n]qMn,q
(r(t;x)(t − x)2;x
).
(4.11)
By the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, we have
Mn,q
(r(t;x)(t − x)2;x
)≤√
Mn,q(r2(t;x);x)√
Mn,q
((t − x)4;x
). (4.12)
Abstract and Applied Analysis 15
Observe that r2(x;x) = 0. Then it follows from Corollary 3.5 that
limn→∞
Mn,q
(r2(t;x);x
)= r2(x;x) = 0. (4.13)
Now from (4.12), (4.13), and Lemma 2.5 we get immediately
limn→∞
[n]qMn,q
(r(t;x)(t − x)2;x
)= 0. (4.14)
The proof is completed.
