A Voronoskaja-type theorem is proved. The convergence properties of these operators in a weighted space of functions defined on [0, ∞) are studied. The theoretical results are exemplified choosing the special cases of Boas–Buck polynomials, namely Appell-type polynomials, Laguerre polynomials, and Charlier polynomials. Key words: Szász operators, modulus of continuity, rate of convergence, weighted space, Boas–Buck-type polynomials 1. Introduction and preliminaries In recent years, there is an increasing interest to study linear positive operators based on certain polynomials, such as Appell polynomials, Laguerre polynomials, Charlier polynomials, Sheffer polynomials, and Hermite polynomials. In 1969, Jakimovski and Leviatan [16] introduced Szász-type operators by using Appell polynomials, as follows: Pn (f ; x) = ( ) ∞ e−nx ∑ k pk (nx)f , g(1) n () k=0 ∑∞ k where pk (x) , k ≥ 0, are the Appell polynomials defined by g(u)eux = and k=0 pk (x)u ∑∞ k g(u) = k=0 ak u is an analytic function in the disk | u | 1 and g(1) ̸= 0 . If g(u) = 1 , then pk (x) = xk (see [9]) and we obtain Szász–Mirakjan operators: k! Sn (f ; x) = e −nx ( ) ∞ ∑ (nx)k k f . k! n k=0 Very recently, the .
