Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a valuable resource for Graduate students and researchers interested in current techniques and methods within the theory of moments in linear positive operators and approximation theory. Moments are essential to the convergence of a sequence of linear positive operators. Several methods are examined to determine moments including direct calculations, recurrence relations, and the application of hypergeometric series. A collection of operators in the theory of approximation are investigated through their moments and a variety of results are surveyed with fundamental theories and recent developments. Detailed examples are included to assist readers understand vital theories and potential applications.
