In this study, we introduce the Durrmeyer type Jakimoski-Leviatan operators and examine their approximation properties. We study the local approximation properties of these operators. Further, we investigate the convergence of these operators in a weighted space of functions and obtain the approximation properties. Furthermore, we give a Voronovskaja type theorem for the our new operators.1 n 2 n D 0, there exists a positive constant M such that k L n . ; x/ k x 2 Ä 1 C M.
