The present note discusses an interesting positive linear operator which was recently introduced by J.P. King. New estimates in terms of the first and second modulus of continuity are given, and iterates of the operators are considered as well. For general King operators the second moments are minimized.
We introduce and study a one-parameter class of positive linear operators constituting a link between the well-known operators of S. N. Bernstein and their genuine Bernstein-Durrmeyer variants. Several limiting cases are considered including one relating our operators to mappings investigated earlier by Mache and Zhou. A recursion formula for the moments is proved and estimates for simultaneous approximation of derivatives are given.
