Abstract

The concept of statistical summability <a onClick="popup('http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/172/mathml/M1','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/172/mathml/M1">View MathML</a> has recently been introduced by Móricz [Jour. Math. Anal. Appl. 275, 277-287 (2002)]. In this paper, we use this notion of summability to prove the Korovkin type approximation theorem by using the test functions 1, <a onClick="popup('http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/172/mathml/M3','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/172/mathml/M3">View MathML</a>, <a onClick="popup('http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/172/mathml/M4','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/172/mathml/M4">View MathML</a>. We also give here the rate of statistical summability <a onClick="popup('http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/172/mathml/M1','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/172/mathml/M1">View MathML</a> and apply the classical Baskakov operator to construct an example in support of our main result.
