The intention of this paper is to study a family of positive linear approximation operators relating to most of the well known Bernstein-type operators. These operators depend on a parameter. We give some characterization theorems to show that the operators corresponding to different parameters can be quite different. The direct and converse results make use of the Ditzian Totik modulus of smoothness.1996 Academic Press, Inc.
