The new operator so obtained is a discrete operator. We give three examples by considering composition of Szász-Durrmeyer operator, exponential-type operator related to 2x 3/2 and the Phillips operator, respectively, with Szász-Mirakyan operators. In all cases we obtain positive linear, discretely defined operators which are based on Laguerre polynomials and approximate functions on the positive real half-axis.

We prove that this sequence enjoys the variation detracting property. The convergence in variation of {{{(R_{n}f)}_{n\geqq1}}}$$(Rnf)n≧1 to f is also proved. A generalization in Kantorovich sense is constructed and boundedness with respect to BV-norm is revealed.

Moreover, we derive the corresponding results for Mirakyan–Favard–Szasz operators and Baskakov operators.

Mathematical Inequalities & Applications, 2019

Recently, Su [5] confirmed a monotonicity conjecture of Bennett which is related to the generalized Schur's theorem and Haber's inequality. In this paper we present a short proof of this result which is based on a combinatorial identity. Moreover, we show that the function in Bennett's conjecture is not only monotonically decreasing but completely monotonic. Furthermore, we give its explicit representation as a Laplace integral which implies the complete monotonicity. Finally, we prove a multivariate version of the above-mentioned combinatorial identity.

In the special case of the hyperplanes {x ∈ R d | x 1 + • • • + x d = b}, b ∈ Z, these numbers can be written as a finite sum involving products of certain binomial coefficients. Furthermore, we consider the limit as n tends to infinity which can be expressed in terms of Euler-Frobenius numbers. Finally, we state a conjecture on the asymptotic behaviour of this limit as the dimension d tends to infinity.
