In the present paper, we introduce the Stancu type Jain operators, which
generalize the wellknown Sz?sz-Mirakyan operators via Lagrange expansion. We
investigate their weighted approximation properties and compute the error of
approximation by using the modulus of continuity. We also give an asymptotic
expansion of Voronovskaya type. Finally, we introduce a modified form of our
operators, which preserves linear functions, provides a better error
estimation than the Jain operators and allows us to give global results in a
certain subclass of C[0,?). Note that the usual Jain operators do not
preserve linear functions and the global results in a certain subspace of
C[0,?) can not be given for them.
