The impact of the limit $q$-Durrmeyer operator on continuous functions

Abstract

The limit $q$-Durrmeyer operator, $D_{\infty ,q},$ was introduced and its approximation properties were investigated by V. Gupta in 2008 during a study of $q$-analogues for the Bernstein-Durrmeyer operator. In the present work, this operator is investigated from a different perspective. More precisely, the growth estimates are derived for the entire functions comprising the range of $D_{\infty ,q}$. The interrelation between the analytic properties of a function $f$ and the rate of growth for $D_{\infty ,q}f$ are established, and the sharpness of the obtained results are demonstrated.
