AbstractRecently, the notion of positive linear operators by means of basic (orq-) Lagrange polynomials and{\mathcal{A}}-statistical convergence was introduced and studied in [M. Mursaleen, A. Khan, H. M. Srivastava and K. S. Nisar, Operators constructed by means ofq-Lagrange polynomials andA-statistical approximation, Appl. Math. Comput. 219 2013, 12, 6911–6918]. In our present investigation, we introduce a certain deferred weighted{\mathcal{A}}-statistical convergence in order to establish some Korovkin-type approximation theorems associated with the functions 1,tand{t^{2}}defined on a Banach space{C[0,1]}for a sequence of (presumably new) positive linear operators based upon{(p,q)}-Lagrange polynomials. Furthermore, we investigate the deferred weighted{\mathcal{A}}-statistical rates for the same set of functions with the help of the modulus of continuity and the elements of the Lipschitz class. We also consider a number of interesting special cases and illustrative examples in support of our definitions and of the results which are presented in this paper.
