1. Introduction
The systematic development of operator theory began in the late 19th century. An important aspect of approximation in operator theory is to find simple, computationally tractable approximations that capture the essential properties of more complex functions. These approximations can then be used for analysis, simulation, or computation in various applications, such as quantum mechanics, signal processing, and control theory. It provides powerful tools for solving problems and analyzing systems involving operators. In the last decade, there has been continued research and development in approximation theory in operator theory, with a focus on more advanced techniques having applications in data science and machine learning. In approximation theory, Weierstrass (1885) [
1] formulated an elegant result known as the Weierstrass approximation theorem. Proving this theorem in a more straightforward and comprehensible manner has been the focus of several prominent mathematicians.
Bernstein (1912) [
2] developed a sequence of polynomials called Bernstein polynomials to give a concise demonstration of Weierstrass approximation theorem using binomial distribution as:
where

. The operators in (
1) restrict the approximation for continuous functions on bounded interval
. In order to discuss approximation properties on unbounded interval
, Szász [
3] provided the modification to the operators in (
1), which has played a significant role in the evolution of operator theory, as follows:
where real valued function
. As given in (
2), the linear positive operators are solely limited to continuous functional space. Many integral variants of these sequences of operators are obtained in order to approximate the longer class of functions, i.e., Lebesgue measurable functional space, Szász–Durremeyer and Szász–Kantorovich type operators, etc. ([
4,
5]). Many researchers, e.g., Acu et al. ([
6,
7]), Mohiuddine et al. ([
8,
9]), Mursaleen et al. ([
10,
11]), Khan et al. [
12], Nasiruzzaman [
13], and Rao et al. ([
14,
15,
16,
17]), have provided a number of generalizations for these kinds of sequences to investigate flexibility in approximation properties across several functional spaces.
In 2021, Simsek defined Frobenius–Euler–Simsek-type polynomials and numbers. He investigated the relations and identities between these special polynomials and numbers, such as Fubini polynomials and numbers and Bernoulli polynomials and numbers [
18]. The Frobenius–Euler–Simsek-type polynomial
has a generating function given as:

19,
20].
2. Construction of Operators

6. Numerical Observations
To confirm the theoretical approximation outcomes, numerical experiments are conducted. This section includes a series of simulations showcasing the proposed operators’ precision and effectiveness. We analyze their behavior across multiple benchmark functions and draw comparisons. The experimental data validate the theoretical developments and demonstrate the practical strength of the suggested method. In the graphical representation, we consider .
Example 1. Consider the function . Using MATLAB R2015a on a standard HP laptop equipped with an Intel Core i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM, we compute the operator for values of v ranging from 5 to 15, and for distinct values of the parameter s, namely . In Figure 1, we present the approximation behavior of the operator for the function , which demonstrates how the operator acts on this specific test function. Additionally, we calculated the absolute error between the exact function and its approximation using the same parameters, , and the results are depicted in Figure 2 and also provided in Table 1 for the same. This helps illustrate the convergence behavior and accuracy of the operator with respect to the increase in parameter s. Example 2. Consider the function .

In Figure 3, we present the approximation behavior of the operator for the function , which demonstrates how the operator acts on this specific test function. This helps illustrate the convergence behavior and accuracy of the operator with respect to the increase in parameter s. 7. Conclusions
In this paper, we introduce a sequence of positive linear operators formulated using Frobenius–Euler–Şimşek-type polynomials in integral form. These operators, referred to as Szász–Beta type operators and defined in (
4), are constructed to approximate functions defined on Lebesgue measurable spaces. We establish essential estimates to analyze the rate of convergence and the accuracy of approximation. Furthermore, we investigate various aspects of approximation theory, including both local and global results, as well as A-statistical convergence properties. To demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed operators, we present several illustrative examples and visualize the results graphically. These examples highlight the practical behavior and confirm the validity of our theoretical findings across different functional settings.
