Do the operators expressed as a finite sum provide the approximation properties? Furthermore, are they appropriate for numerical calculation? In this paper, in connection with these questions, we define a new family of linear positive operators including finite sum by using the Baskakov type operators. We also give some numerical results in order to compare Baskakov type operators with this new defined operator. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
