Introduction q-Bernstein polynomials B n,q fx : n  k0 f  k n  n k  x k n−k−1  s0 1 − q s x1.1 were introduced by Phillips in 1. q-Bernstein polynomials form an area of an intensive research in the approximation theory, see survey paper 2 and references therein. Nowadays, there are new studies on the q-parametric operators. Two parametric generalizations of q- Bernstein polynomials have been considered by Lewanowicz and Wo ´ zny cf. 3,ananalog of the Bernstein-Durrmeyer operator and Bernstein-Chlodowsky operator related to the q- Bernstein basis has been studied by Derriennic 4,Gupta5 and Karsli and Gupta 6, respectively, a q-version of the Szasz-Mirakjan operator has been investigated by Aral and Gupta in 7. Also, some results on q-parametric Meyer-K ¨ onig and Zeller operators can be found in 8–11. In 12, Bleimann et al. introduced the following operators: H n fx 1 1  x n n  k0 f  k n − k  1  n k  x k ,x>0,n∈ N. 1.2 2 Journal of Inequalities and Applications There are several studies related to approximation properties of Bleimann, Butzer, and Hahn operators or, b riefly, BBH, see, for example, 12–18. Recently, Aral and Do ˘ gru 19 introduced a q-analog of Bleimann, Butzer, and Hahn operators and they have established some approximation properties of their q-Bleimann, Butzer, and Hahn operators in the subspace of C B 0, ∞. Also, they showed that these operators are more flexible than classical BBH operators, that is, depending on the selection of q, rate of convergence of the q-BBH operators is better than the classical one. Voronovskaja-type asymptotic estimate and the monotonicity properties for q-BBH operators are studied in 20. In this paper, we propose a different q-analog of the Bleimann, Butzer, and Hahn operators in C ∗ 1x 0, ∞. We use the connection between classical BBH and Bernstein operators suggested in 16 to define new q-BBH operators as follows: H n,q fx :Φ −1 B n1,q Φfx, 1.3 where B n1,q is a q-Bernstein operator, Φ and Φ −1 will be defined later. Thanks to 1.3, different properties of B n1,q can be transferred to H n,q with a little extra effort. Thus the limiting behavior of H n,q can be immediately derived from 1.3 and the well-known properties of B n1,q . It is natural that even in the classical case, when q  1, to define H n in the space C ∗ 1x 0, ∞, the limit l f of fx/1  x as x→∞ has to appear in the definition of H n . Thus in C ∗ 1x 0, ∞ the classical BBH operator has to be modified as follows: H n fx 1 1  x n n  k0 f  k n − k  1  n k  x k  l f x n1 1  x n ,x>0,n∈ N. 1.4 The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give construction of q-BBH operators and study some elementary properties. In Section 3, we investigate convergence properties of q-BBH, Voronovskaja-type theorem and saturation of convergence for q-BBH operators for arbitrary fixed 0 <q<1, and also we study convergence of the derivative of q-BBH operators. 2. Construction and some properties of q-BBH operators Before introducing the operators, we mention some basic definitions of q calculus. Let q>0. For any n ∈ N ∪{0},theq-integer nn q is defined by n : 1  q  ··· q n−1 , 0 : 0; 2.1 and the q-factorial n! n q !by n!:12 ···n, 0!: 1. 2.2 For integers 0 ≤ k ≤ n,theq-binomial is defined by  n k  : n! k!n − k! . 2.3 Also, we use the following standard notations: z; q 0 : 1, z; q n : n−1  j0 1 − q j z, z; q ∞ : ∞  j0 1 − q j z, p n,k q; x :  n k  x k n−k−1  s0 1 − q s x,p ∞k q; x : x k 1 − q k k! ∞  s0 1 − q s x. 2.4 N.
