Here we consider the ordinary and fractional approximation of functions by
sublinear positive operators with applications to generalized convolution
type operators expressed by sublinear integrals such as of Choquet and
Shilkret ones. The fractional approximation is under fractional
differentiability of Caputo, Canavati and Iterated-Caputo types. We produce
Jackson type inequalities under basic initial conditions. So our way is
quantitative by producing inequalities with their right hand sides involving
the modulus of continuity of ordinary and fractional derivatives of the
function under approximation. We give also an application related to Picard
singular integral operators.
