Let {Ln} be a sequence of positive linear operators defined on C[a, b] of the form where xnk ∈ [a, b] for each k = 0, 1,…, n = 1, 2,…. The convergence properties of the sequences {Ln(f)} to for each fC[a, b] have been the object of much recent research (see e.g. [4], [8], [11], [13]). In many cases positive linear operators of the form (1) give rise to interesting summability matrices A = (ank(x)) and vice- versa.
