Convergence results in Orlicz spaces for sequences of max-product Kantorovich sampling operators (2305.18783v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we provide a unifying theory concerning the convergence properties of the so-called max-product Kantorovich sampling operators based upon generalized kernels in the setting of Orlicz spaces. The approximation of functions defined on both bounded intervals and on the whole real axis has been considered. Here, under suitable assumptions on the kernels, considered in order to define the operators, we are able to establish a modular convergence theorem for these sampling-type operators. As a direct consequence of the main theorem of this paper, we obtain that the involved operators can be successfully used for approximation processes in a wide variety of functional spaces, including the well-known interpolation and exponential spaces. This makes the Kantorovich variant of max-product sampling operators suitable for reconstructing not necessarily continuous functions (signals) belonging to a wide range of functional spaces. Finally, several examples of Orlicz spaces and of kernels for which the above theory can be applied are presented.
