In sequence spaces, the theory of usual convergence is one of the most essential parts, and gradually it has been achieved a very high level of development. Subsequently, two eminent mathematicians Fast [
1] and Steinhaus [
2] independently introduced a new concept called statistical convergence in sequence space theory. Really, this nice concept is very useful for advanced study in pure and applied Mathematics. Moreover, it is more powerful than the usual convergence and has been an active area of research in the current days. Moreover, such notion is closely related with the study of Measure theory, Probability theory, Fibonacci sequence, and Real analysis, etc. For some recent research works in this direction, see [

In the year 2002, Móricz [
7] studied and introduced the notion of statistical Cesàro summability and after that Mohiuddine et al. [
8] proved some approximation of the Korovkin-type theorems via the concept of statistical Cesàro summability. Subsequently, Karakaya and Chishti [
9] first introduced and studied the idea of weighted statistical convergence, and later this definition was modified by Mursaleen et al. [
10]. Recently, Srivastava et al. [
11] introduced and studied the concepts of deferred weighted summability mean and proved the Korovkin-type theorems and in the same year Srivastava et al. [
12] also proved the Korovkin-type theorems via Nörlund summability mean based on equi-statistical convergence. Subsequently, Dutta et al. [
13] demonstrated some Korovkin-type approximation theorems via the usual deferred Cesàro summablity mean. Moreover, such concepts have been generalised in many aspects. In view of this, the interested readers may see, [

We now present the notions of statistically Riemann integrable and statistically Lebesgue integrable sequence of functions.

A sequence of functions is said to be statistically Riemann integrable to h (a function) on if, for each and every , ∃, and for any tagged partition of , the sethas zero natural density. That is, for every Definition 2. A sequence of measurable functions is said to be statistically Lebesgue integrable to a measurable function h on X if, for each has zero natural density. That is, for every Now, we establish a theorem (below) connecting the above two potential and useful concepts.
Theorem 1. If a sequence of measurable functions is statistically Riemann integrable to a function h over , then is statistically Lebesgue integrable to the same function h on X.

We setup here an example demonstrating the non-validity of converse statement of Theorem 1.
Example 1. Let be the functions defined by if, and if, .
It is easy to see that the sequence of functions is not statistically Riemann integrable, but it is statistically Lebesgue integrable to 1 over .
Motivated essentially by the aforementioned studies and investigations, we introduce and investigate the notions of statistical versions of Riemann integrability and Riemann summability as well as statistical versions of Lebesgue integrability and Lebesgue summability via deferred weighted mean. We first establish some fundamental limit theorems connecting these beautiful and potentially useful notions. Moreover, based upon our proposed techniques we establish the Korovkin-type approximation theorems with algebraic test functions. Finally, we consider two illustrative examples involving suitable positive linear operators associated with the Bernstein polynomials to justify the effectiveness of our findings.
2. Riemann Integrability via Deferred Weighted Mean
Let
and
be such that
with
, and let
be a sequence of real numbers (non-negative) such that
Then, we approach the Riemann sum of the functions
corresponding to a tagged partition
via the deferred weighted summability mean of the form
We now present the definitions of statistical Riemann integrability and statistical Riemann summability via deferred weighted summability mean.
Definition 3. Let and , and let be a sequence of real numbers (non-negative). A sequence of functions is said to be deferred weighted statistically Riemann integrable to h over if, for every , ∃, and for be any tagged partition of such that , the sethas zero natural density. This implies that, for each , Definition 4. Let and , and let be a sequence of non-negative real numbers. A sequence of functions is said to be statistically deferred weighted Riemann summable to h over if, for every , ∃, and for be any tagged partition of such that , the sethas zero natural density. This implies that, for all , Now, we establish an inclusion theorem connecting the above two new potentially useful concepts.
Theorem 2. Let and , and let be a sequence of non-negative real numbers. If a sequence of functions is deferred weighted statistically Riemann integrable to h over , then it is statistically deferred weighted Riemann summable to h on , but the converse is not true.
Proof. Since
is deferred weighted statistically Riemann integrable to a function
h over
, by Definition 3, we have
Now under the assumption of the following two sets:
and
we have
Thus, the functions is statistically deferred weighted Riemann summable to h on .
Next, in view of the converse statement (non-validity), we consider the following illustrative example.
Example 2. Let , and and let be the functions of the form , if with k is even and , if with k is odd.
The given sequence of functions trivially spcifies that, it is neither Riemann integrable nor deferred weighted Riemann integrable in statistical sense. However, according to Equation (1), Thus, the functions has deferred weighted Riemann sum corresponding to a tagged partition . Therefore, the functions is statistically deferred weighted Riemann summable to on but it is not deferred weighted statistically Riemann integrable. □
3. Lebesgue Integrability via Deferred Weighted Mean
Let
and
be such that
with
, and let
be a sequence of non-negative real numbers for which
Then, we define the Lebesgue sum via deferred weighted summability mean for the sequence of measurable functions
as
We now present below the definitions of statistical Lebesgue integrability and statistical Lebesgue summability of a sequence of measurable functions via deferred weighted mean.
Definition 5. Let and , and let be a sequence of non-negative real numbers. A sequence of measurable functions is said to be deferred weighted statistically Lebesgue integrable to a measurable function h on X if, for every , the sethas zero natural density. This implies that, for each , Definition 6. Let and , and let be a sequence of non-negative real numbers. A sequence of measurable functions is statistically deferred weighted Lebesgue summable to a measurable function h on X if, for all has zero natural density. This implies that, for all , We present below a theorem connecting these two potentially useful concepts.
Theorem 3. Let and , and let be a sequence of non-negative real numbers. If a sequence of measurable functions is deferred weighted statistically Lebesgue integrable to a measurable function h on X, then it is statistically deferred weighted Lebesgue summable to the same measurable function h on X, but the converse is not true.
Proof. Since
is deferred weighted statistically Lebesgue integrable to a measurable function
h on
X, by Definition 5, we obtain
Now under the assumption of the following two sets:
and
we have
Hence, the sequence of measurable functions is statistically deferred weighted Lebesgue summable to the measurable function h on X.
Next in view of the non-validity of the converse statement, the following example illustrates that, a statistically deferred weighted Lebesgue summable sequence of measurable functions is not deferred weighted statistically Lebesgue integrable.
Example 3. Let , and and let be the functions given by if, with k is even and if, with k is odd.
The given sequence of measurable functions clearly specifies that, it is neither Lebesgue integrable nor deferred weighted statistically Lebesgue integrable. However, according to our proposed mean (2), it is easy to see Thus, the sequence of measurable functions has deferred weighted Lebesgue sum . Therefore, the sequence of measurable functions is statistically deferred weighted Lebesgue summable to over but it is not deferred weighted statistically Lebesgue integrable. □
4. Korovkin-Type Approximation Theorems
Recently, several researchers have worked to extend (or generalize) the approximation aspects of Korovkin’s approximation theorems in various mathematical fields such as (for example) Soft computing, Machine learning, Probability theory, Measurable theory, and so on. This concept is extremely valuable in Real Analysis, Functional Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, and other related fields. Here, we choose to refer to recent works [
11,
13,
20] for interested readers.
Let
be the space of all real-valued continuous functions, and evidently it is a complete normed linear space (Banach space) under the sup norm. Then for
, the sup norm of
h is defined as
Let
such that
That is to say, is a sequence of positive linear operators over .
Now in view of our proposed mean (
1), we use the notion of statistical Riemann integrability (
) and statistical Riemann summability (
) for sequence of functions to establish and prove the following Korovkin-type approximation theorems.
Theorem 4. Letbe a sequence of positive linear operators. Then, for all if and only ifand Proof. Since each of the following functions:
belongs to
and is continuous, the implication given by (
3) obviously implies (
4) to (
6). Now for the completion of the proof of Theorem 4, we assume that, the conditions (
4) to (
6) hold true. If
, then there exists a constant
such that
Clearly, for given
, there exists
such that
whenever
From Equations (
8) and (
9), we get
which implies that
Now, since
is monotone and linear, by applying the operator
to this inequality, we have
We note that
is fixed and so
is a constant number. Therefore, we have
Using (
11) and (
12), we have
We now estimate
as follows:
Since
is arbitrary, we can write
where
Now, for a given
, there exists
such that
Furthermore, for
, we have
so that
Now, using the above assumption about the implications in (
4) to (
6) and by Definition 3, the right-hand side of (
15) tends to zero as
. Consequently, we get
Therefore, the implication (
3) holds true. This completes the proof of Theorem 4. □
Theorem 5. Letbe a sequence of positive linear operators. Then, for all ,if and only ifand Proof. Theorem 5 can be proved in the similar lines of the proof of Theorem 4. Therefore, we choose to skip the details involved. □
In view of Theorem 5, we consider here an example that, a sequence of positive linear operators which does not work via the statistical versions of the deferred weighted Riemann integrable functions (Theorem 4). Nevertheless, it fairly works on Theorem 5. In this sense we say, Theorem 5 is a non-trivial generalization of the statistical weighted Riemann integrable functions (Theorem 4).
We now think of the operator
that was used by Al-Salam [
21], and subsequently, by Viskov and Srivastava [
22].
Example 4. Consider the Bernstein polynomial on given by We now approach the positive linear operators on is given by (20) as follows:where is the sequence of functionds given in Example 2. We now determine the values of each of the testing functions 1, β and by using (22) as follows:and Consequently, we haveandthat is, the sequence satisfies the conditions (17) to (19). Therefore, by Theorem 5, we have The given sequence of functions mentioned as in Example 2 is statistically deferred weighted Riemann summable, but not deferred weighted statistically Riemann integrable. Therefore, our proposed operators defined by (22) satisfy Theorem 5. However, they do not satisfy for statistical versions of deferred weighted Riemann integrable functions (Theorem 4). Now in view of our proposed mean (
2), we use the notions of statistical Lebesgue integrability (
) and statistical Lebesgue summability (
) for sequence of measurable functions to establish the following Korovkin-type approximation theorems.
Theorem 6. Letbe a sequence of positive linear operators. Then, for all if and only ifand Proof. Theorem 6 can be proved in the similar lines of the proof of Theorem 4. Therefore, we choose to skip the details involved. □
Theorem 7. Letbe a sequence of positive linear operators. Then, for all ,if and only ifand Proof. Theorem 7 can be proved in the similar lines of the proof of Theorem 4. Therefore, we choose to skip the details involved. □
In view of Theorem 7, we consider here an example that, a sequence of positive linear operators which does not work via the statistical versions of the deferred weighted Lebesgue integrable sequence of measurable functions (Theorem 6). Nevertheless, it fairly works on Theorem 7. In this sense, we say Theorem 7 is a non-trivial generalization of the statistical deferred weighted Lebesgue integrable sequence of measurable functions (Theorem 6).
Example 5. Consider the Bernstein polynomial on given by (21). We now approach the positive linear operators on under the composition of (21) and (20) as follows:where is the same as mentioned in Example 3. In similar lines of Example 4, we determine the values of each of the testing functions 1, β and by using (34) as follows:and Consequently, we haveandthat is, the sequence satisfies the conditions (35) to (37). Therefore, by Theorem 7, we have The given sequence of the functions mentioned in Example 3 is statistically deferred weighted Lebesgue summable, but not deferred weighted statistically Lebesgue integrable. Therefore, our proposed operators defined by (34) satisfy Theorem 7. However, they do not satisfy for statistical versions of deferred weighted Lebesgue integrable sequence of functions (Theorem 6).
