Abstract
The goal of this manuscript is to introduce a new Stancu generalization of the modified Szász–Kantorovich operator connecting Riemann–Liouville fractional operators via Charlier polynomials. Further, some estimates are calculated as test functions and central moments. In the next section, we investigate some convergence analysis along with the rate of approximations. Moreover, we discuss the order of approximation of a higher-order modulus of smoothness with the help of some moments and establish some convergence results concerning Peetre’s K-functional, Lipschitz-type functions for a newly developed operator . We estimate some results related to Korovkin-, Voronovskaya-, and Grüss–Voronovskaya-type theorems.

1. Introduction
In 1912, Bernstein [1] introduced a sequence of polynomials, now known as Bernstein polynomials, to provide a constructive proof of the Weierstrass approximation theorem using the binomial distribution. These polynomials are defined as
where f stands for a continuous and bounded function which is presented on and Bernstein basis functions . The sequences of operators in (1) restrict the approximation for continuous functions on . In order to discuss approximation properties on the unbounded interval , Szász [2] provided modifications to the operators in (1), which has played a significant role in the evolution of operator theory, as follows:
The operators introduced in (2) are positive linear and are limited to approximation results in . We discuss approximation results in a super class of continuous functions, i.e., the Lebesgue class of measurable functions. Several mathematicians, e.g., Özger et al. [3,4], Ayman Mursaleen et al. [5,6], Braha et al. [7], and Khursheed et al. [8,9], have explored various modifications to improve approximation properties in different functional spaces. Further advancements have been made by researchers such as Khan et al. [10], Acar [11,12], Aslan [13], Mohiuddine et al. [14,15], Mursaleen et al. [16,17], Malik et al. [18], Nasiruzzaman et al. [19,20], and Rao et al. [21,22], among others. These studies have significantly contributed to generalizing Korovkin’s theorem across various domains. Their investigation included the generalization of certain positive linear operators like Phillips-type q-Bernstein, Bernstein–Durrmeyer, and -Schurer–Kantorovich-type operators via various polynomials, the Stancu variant [23,24,25,26], the Summability method (see [27]), and a fractional operator (see [28,29]). Furthermore, they estimated some interesting results concerning a Korovkin-type theorem, Voronoskaya- and Grüss-type theorems, and Grüss inequalities and also performed fine convergence analysis (in both a classical and statistical sense) for the rate of approximations with respect to the modulus of smoothness, etc.
The present work deals with the Stancu generalization of a modified Szász–Kantorovich operator along with Riemann–Liouville fractional operators including Charlier polynomials. Some convergence analysis along with the rate of approximations is discussed. Our investigations mainly focus on the higher-order modulus of smoothness with the help of some moments and establish some convergence results concerning Peetre’s K-functional, Lipschitz-type functions for a newly developed operator . We estimate some results related to Korovkin-, Voronovskaya-, and Grüss–Voronovskaya-type theorems.
Significantly, various generalizations of this operator have been introduced and studied via various polynomials and other operators (see [30,31]). In 2012, Varma and Taşdelen [32] introduced and defined a modified Szász operator by using the Charlier polynomial as follows:
where , , wherever the generating function is
and is the Pochhammer symbol or shifted factorial defined by
where . In particular, we are motivated by the recent monograph of Ansari et al. [33], where the authors had introduced the Kantorovich generalization of Equation (2), defined as below:
where and are the sequence of increasing and unbounded positive numbers such that
Motivated by all the above work, we introduce a new positive linear operator on , via the Stancu–Shurer variant ,
We can further generalize the above operator with the help of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator for order as follows:
where .
In particular, this operator includes the operators as in Equations (2), (3), and (5).
- For , and , this operator reduces to the operator defined in [33].
- For , the operator is generalized to the operator defined in [30].
Remark 1.
For any and , we have
This implies that the given sequences of operators are a linear operator. Also, for any , we must have , which shows that the sequence of operators is positive.
In the following sections, we examine the convergence rate of operators and their approximation order. Specifically, we discuss the order of approximation of a higher-order modulus of smoothness with the help of some moments and establish some convergence results concerning Peetre’s K functional, Lipschitz-type functions. In the final section, we explore some results related to Korovkin-, Voronovskaya-, and Grüss–Voronovskaya-type theorems.
2. Main Results
In the current section, we estimate some fundamental moments. Before moving towards our main results, we require the following Lemma from [33]:

Now, we need to evaluate
In order to do this, we consider the Taylor series expansion of functions and . Then, we get the following
Furthermore,
But it can be observed that, for and ,
Now,
Now, from Equation (10),
After applying Lemma 3.1. of [39], we get
This completes the proof. □

6. Conclusions
In this work, we have introduced a new generalization of a fractional integral-type Szász–Kantorovich–Stancu operator connecting via Charlier polynomials. Several fundamental properties of the operators have been studied, including estimates for test functions and central moments. We have examined their convergence behavior and derived results for the rate of approximation. Furthermore, the order of approximation has been analyzed using the higher-order modulus of smoothness, supported by moment calculations. Convergence results concerning Peetre’s K-functional, Lipschitz-type functions have also been established. Finally, we derived results related to Korovkin’s theorem, Voronovskaya-type approximation, and Grüss–Voronovskaya-type theorems, thereby demonstrating the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed operators.
