1 Introduction In view of the Bézier basis function, which was introduced by Bézier [], in , [] defined the generalized Bernstein-Bézier polynomials for any α >,andafunctionf defined on [, ] as follows:   n   k α α B α(f ; x)= f J (x)–J (x) ,() n, n n,k n,k+ k=   n n i n–i where Jn,n+(x)=,andJn,k(x)= i=k Pn,i(x), k =,,...,n, Pn,i(x)= i x ( – x) . Jn,k(x)is the Bézier basis function of degree n.

Obviously, when α =,Bn,α(f ; x) become the well-known Bernstein polynomials Bn(f ; x), n and for any x ∈ [, ], we have  = Jn,(x)>Jn,(x)>··· > Jn,n(x)=x , Jn,k(x)–Jn,k+(x)=

Pn,k(x). During the last ten years, the Bézier basis function was extensively used for constructing various generalizations of many classical approximation processes. Some Bézier type op- erators, which are based on the Bézier basis function, have been introduced and studied (e.g.,see[–]). In , Ren [] introduced Bernstein type operators as follows:

n– Ln(f ; x)=f ()Pn,(x)+ Pn,k(x)Bn,k(f )+f ()Pn,n(x), () k=  ∈ ∈ n k n–k where f C[, ], x [, ], Pn,k(x)= k x ( – x) , k = ,,...,n,andBn,k(f )=   nk– n(n–k)– · · B(nk,n(n–k))  t ( – t) f (t) dt, k =,...,n –,B( , ) is the beta function.

The moments of the operators Ln(f ; x) were obtained as follows (see []).

j Remark  For Ln(t ; x), j =,,,wehave

(i) Ln(; x)=;

(ii) Ln(t; x)=x;  n(n –) n + (iii) L t; x = x + x. n n + n +

In the present paper, we will study the Bézier variant of the Bernstein type operators

Ln(f ; x), which have been given by (). We introduce a new type of Bézier operators as follows:

n– (α) (α) (α) Ln,α(f ; x)=f ()Qn,(x)+ Qn,k(x)Bn,k(f )+f ()Qn,n(x), () k=

∈ ∈ α (α) α α where f C[, ], x [, ], >, Q n,k(x)=Jn,k(x)–Jn,k+(x), Jn,n+(x)=, Jn,k(x)= n n i n–i   nk– i=k Pn,i(x), k = ,,...,n, Pn,i(x)= i x ( – x) ,andBn,k(f )= B(nk,n(n–k))  t ( – t)n(n–k)–f (t) dt, k =,...,n –,B(·, ·) is the beta function.

It is clear that Ln,α(f ; x) are linear and positive on C[, ]. When α =,Ln,α(f ; x)become

the operators Ln(f ; x). The goal of this paper is to study the approximation properties of these operators with the help of the Korovkin type approximation theorem. We also estimate the rates of con- vergence of these operators by using a modulus of continuity. Then we obtain the direct theorem concerned with an approximation for these operators by means of the Ditzian- Totik modulus of smoothness. In the paper, for f ∈ C[, ], we denote f  = max{|f (x)| : x ∈ [, ]}. ω(f , δ)(δ >)de- notes the usual modulus of continuity of f ∈ C[, ].

2 Some lemmas Now, we give some lemmas, which are necessary to prove our results.

Lemma  (see []) Let α >.We have

thus, by Lemma (i), we have limn→∞ Ln,α(t; x)=x uniformly on [, ]. (iii) By (), we have    n–   (α)  k (α) L α t ; x = Q (x) k + + Q (x) n, n + n,k n n,n k=    n  = k –+ Jα (x) n + n n,k k=

Lemma  (see []) For x ∈ [, ], k =,,...,n, we have

thus, we get    α  L α |t – x|; x ≤ · .  n,  n

  n α ≤ –α n α | k Using the Hölder inequality, we have k= Pn,k(x) (n +) [ k= Pn,k(x)] ,and n – k |≤ x n + x , so we have

thus, we get   – α Ln,α |t – x|; x ≤ Mα · n  . 

Lemma  For f ∈ C[, ], x ∈ [, ] and α >,we have     Ln,α(f ; x) ≤f .

Proof By () and Lemma (i), we have     Ln,α(f ; x) ≤f Ln,α(; x)=f . 

3 Main results

First of all we give the following convergence theorem for the sequence {Ln,α(f ; x)}.

Theorem  Let α >.Then the sequence {Ln,α(f ; x)} converges to f uniformly on [, ] for any f ∈ C[, ].

Proof Since Ln,α(f ; x) is bounded and positive on C[, ], and by Lemma ,wehave j limn→∞ Ln,α(ej; ·)–ej =forej(t)=t , j = , , . So, according to the well-known

Bohman-Korovkin theorem ([], p., Theorem .), we see that the sequence {Ln,α(f ; x)} converges to f uniformly on [, ] for any f ∈ C[, ]. 

Next we estimate the rates of convergence of the sequence {Ln,α} by means of the mod- ulus of continuity.

Here the constant Mα only depends on α. Ren and Zeng Journal of Inequalities and Applications (2015)2015:412 Page 6 of 10

Proof (i) When α ≥ , by Lemma (i), we have     Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x)   n–     ≤   (α) (α)     (α) f () – f (x) Qn,(x)+ Qn,k(x)Bn,k f (t)–f (x) + f () – f (x) Qn,n(x) k=  n–    ≤ | | (α) (α) | | | | (α) ω f , –x Qn,(x)+ Qn,k(x)Bn,k ω f , t – x + ω f , –x Qn,n(x) k=    √  ≤ + n|–x| ω f , √ Q(α) (x) n n,    n–  √ (α)  + Q (x)Bn,k + n|t – x| ω f , √ n,k n k=    √  + + n|–x| ω f , √ Q(α)(x) n n,n      √   ≤ ω f , √ + nω f , √ Ln,α |t – x|; x , n n  | |≤ α ω √ so, by Lemma (ii), we obtain Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x) ( +  ) (f , n ). The desired result fol- lows immediately. (ii) When  < α < , by Lemma (i), we have     Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x)  n–    ≤ | | (α) (α) | | | | (α) ω f , –x Qn,(x)+ Qn,k(x)Bn,k ω f , t – x + ω f , –x Qn,n(x) k=   n–   α α (α) (α) α α ≤  | | –   | | –  +n –x ω f , n Qn,(x)+ Qn,k(x)Bn,k +n t – x ω f , n k=  α  α  | | –  (α) + +n –x ω f , n Qn,n(x)    – α α – α = ω f , n  + n  ω f , n  Ln,α |t – x|; x , √ – α so, by Lemma (ii), we obtain |Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x)|≤( + Mα)ω(f , n  ). The desired result follows immediately. 

Theorem  Letf ∈ C[, ], x ∈ [, ]. Then (i) when α ≥ , we have              α  α α Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x) ≤ f + ω f , √ + ; n n  n

(ii) when <α <, we have         α     –α – –α Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x) ≤ f Mαn + ω f , n  ( + Mα) Mαn ,

where the constant Mα only depends on α. Ren and Zeng Journal of Inequalities and Applications (2015)2015:412 Page 7 of 10

Proof Let f ∈ C[, ]. For any t, x ∈ [, ], δ >,wehave      t         f (t)–f (x)–f (x)(t – x) ≤  f (u)–f (x)  x

≤ ω f , |t – x| |t – x|  

≤ ω f , δ |t – x| + δ–(t – x) ,

hence, by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we have      Ln,α f (t)–f (x)–f (x)(t – x); x     –  ≤ ω f , δ Ln,α |t – x|; x + δ Ln,α (t – x) ; x  

≤ ω f , δ Ln,α(; x)     –   + δ Ln,α (t – x) ; x Ln,α (t – x) ; x .

So we get     Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x)      ≤ f Ln,α |t – x|; x       –   + ω f , δ +δ Ln,α (t – x) ; x Ln,α (t – x) ; x .()

α ≥ δ √ (i) When ,taking = n in (), by Lemma  and inequality (), we obtain the desired result. α (ii) When <α <,takingδ = n–  in (), by Lemma  and inequality (), we obtain the desired result. 

Finally we study the direct theorem concerned with an approximation for the sequence

{Ln,α} by means of the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness. For the next theorem we shall use some notations.√ For f ∈ C[, ], ϕ(x)= x( – x),  ≤ λ ≤ , x ∈ [, ], let       λ λ   hϕ (x) hϕ (x)  ωϕλ (f , t)= sup sup f x + – f x –  ≤ λ   

be the Ditzian-Totik modulus of first order, and let       λ  Kϕλ (f , t)= inf f – g + t ϕ g () g∈Wλ

λ be the corresponding K-functional, where Wλ = {f |f ∈ ACloc[, ], ϕ f  < ∞, f  < ∞}. It is well known that (see [])

≤ Kϕλ (f , t) Cωϕλ (f , t), ()

for some absolute constant C >. Now we state our next main result. Ren and Zeng Journal of Inequalities and Applications (2015)2015:412 Page 8 of 10

√ Theorem  Let f ∈ C[, ], α ≥ , ϕ(x)= x( – x), x ∈ [, ],  ≤ λ ≤ . Then there exists an absolute constant C >such that     –λ   ϕ (x) Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x) ≤ Cω λ f , √ . ϕ n

Proof Let g ∈ Wλ, by Lemma (i) and Lemma ,wehave     Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x)             ≤ Ln,α(f – g; x) + f (x)–g(x) + Ln,α(g; x)–g(x)     ≤ f – g + Ln,α(g; x)–g(x) .()

t Since g(t)= x g (u) du + g(x), Ln,α(; x)=,so,wehave       t         Ln,α(g; x)–g(x) ≤ Ln,α g (u) du; x  x       t   λ   –λ  ≤ ϕ g Ln,α  ϕ (u) du; x .() x

By the Hölder inequality, we get

     t   t λ  λ     λ  ϕ– (u) du ≤  √ du |t – x|– ,() x x u( – u) √ √ also, in view of  ≤ u + –u <,≤ u ≤ , we have        t   t          √ du ≤  √ + √ du x u( – u) x u –u  √ √ √ √ ≤  | t – x| + | –x – –t|   |t – x| |t – x| ≤  √ √ + √ √ t + x –t + –x     ≤ |t – x| √ + √ x –x ≤ |t – x|ϕ–(x), ()

thus, by ()and(), we obtain    t   λ  λ  ϕ– (u) du ≤ Cϕ– (x)|t – x|,() x

also, by ()and(), we have

        λ  –λ Ln,α(g; x)–g(x) ≤ C ϕ g Ln,α ϕ (x)|t – x|; x     λ  –λ = C ϕ g ϕ (x)Ln,α |t – x|; x . () Ren and Zeng Journal of Inequalities and Applications (2015)2015:412 Page 9 of 10

In view of () and Lemma (i), by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we have      Ln,α |t – x|; x ≤ Ln,α(; x) Ln,α (t – x) ; x  (n +)α ≤ x( – x) n + ϕ(x) ≤ C √ ,() n

so, by ()and(), we obtain

    –λ    λ ϕ (x) Ln,α(g; x)–g(x) ≤ C ϕ g √ , () n

thus, by ()and(), we have

    –λ    λ ϕ (x) Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x) ≤ f – g + C ϕ g √ .() n

Then, in view of (), (), and (), we obtain       –λ –λ   ϕ (x) ϕ (x) Ln,α(f ; x)–f (x) ≤ CK λ f , √ ≤ Cω λ f , √ , ϕ n ϕ n

where C is a positive constant, in different places the value of C may be different. 

4Conclusions In this paper, a new kind of type Bézier operators is introduced. The Korovkin type approx- imation theorem of these operators is investigated. The rates of convergence of these oper- ators are studied by means of the modulus of continuity. Then, by using the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness, a direct theorem concerned with an approximation for these op- erators is obtained. Further, we can also study the inverse theorem and an equivalent the- orem concerned with an approximation for these operators.
