Pointwise Approximation Theorems for Combinations and Derivatives of Bernstein Polynomials

AbstractWe establish the pointwise approximation theorems for the combinations of Bernstein polynomials by the rth Ditzian–Totik modulus of smoothness $$ \omega ^{r}_{\Phi } (f,t) $$where Φ is an admissible step–weight function. An equivalence relation between the derivatives of these polynomials and the smoothness of functions is also obtained.
