This paper deals with approximating properties of the q-generalization of the Szász-Mirakjan operators in the case q > 1. Quantitative estimates of the convergence in the polynomial-weighted spaces and the Voronovskaja's theorem are given. In particular, it is proved that the rate of approximation by the q-Szász-Mirakjan operators (q > 1) is of order q- n versus 1/n for the classical Szász-Mirakjan operators. Copyright © 2012 N. I.
