We consider positive linear operators of probabilistic type L1f acting on real functions f defined on the positive semi-axis. We deal with the problem of uniform convergence of L1f to f, both in the usual sup-norm and in a uniform Lp type of norm. In both cases, we obtain direct and converse inequalities in terms of a suitable weighted first modulus of smoothness of f. These results are applied to the Baskakov operator and to a gamma operator connected with real Laplace transforms, Poisson mixtures and Weyl fractional derivatives of Laplace transforms.

Let F be the gamma distribution function with parameters a > 0 and α > 0 and let Gs be the negative binomial distribution function with parameters α and a/s, s > 0. By combining both probabilistic and approximation-theoretic methods, we obtain sharp upper and lower bounds for . In particular, we show that the exact order of uniform convergence is s–p, where p = min(1, α). Various kinds of applications concerning charged multiplicity distributions, the Yule birth process and Bernstein-type operators are also given.
