Introduction In [12, 13], Karl B¨ogel introduced the concepts of B-continuous and B-differentiable functions. The GBS (Generalized Boolean Sum) operators are used in the uniform approximation of B -continuous functions. The term GBS operators was introduced by Badea et al. in [6]. In recent years, several researchers have made significant contributions in this area of approximation theory [1, 3, 11, 18, 21-24, 27, 29]. In this paper we study the uniform approximation of B -continuous functions using GBS operators of Durrmeyer type based on q -integers. The notions like GBS operators, B -continuous functions, and mixed modulus of
