ASYMPTOTIC FORMULAS FOR CONVOLUTION-OPERATORS WITH SPLINE KERNELS

We derive asymptotic formulas for convolution operators with spline ke rnels for differentiable functions. These formulas are analogous to Be rnstein's extension of Voronovskaya's results on Bernstein polynomials for functions with higher order derivatives. Two classes of operators are considered, viz., the de la Vallee Poussin-Schoenberg operators w ith trigonometric spline kernels and the singular integrals of Riemann -Lebesgue with periodic polynomial spline kernels. The former includes the de la Vallee means as a special case. (C) 1995 Academic Press. In c.
