Application of f-lacunary statistical convergence to approximation theorems

The concept of f-lacunary statistical convergence which is, in fact, a generalization of lacunary statistical convergence, has been introduced recently by Bhardwaj and Dhawan (Abstr. Appl. Anal. 2016:9365037, 2016). The main object of this paper is to prove Korovkin type approximation theorems using the notion of f-lacunary statistical convergence. A relationship between the newly established Korovkin type approximation theorems via f-lacunary statistical convergence, the classical Korovkin theorems and their lacunary statistical analogs has been studied. A new concept of f-lacunary statistical convergence of degree β ([Formula: see text] ) has also been introduced, and as an application a corresponding Korovkin type theorem is established.
