摘要
This paper concerns about the approximation by a class of positive exponential type multiplier operators on the unit sphere Sn of the （n ＋ 1）- dimensional Euclidean space for n ≥2. We prove that such operators form a strongly continuous contraction semigroup of class （l0） and show the equivalence between the approximation errors of these operators and the K-functionals. We also give the saturation order and the saturation class of these operators. As examples, the rth Boolean of the generalized spherical Abel-Poisson operator ＋Vt^γ and the rth Boolean of the generalized spherical Weierstrass operator ＋Wt^k for integer r ≥ 1 and reals γ, k∈ （0, 1] have errors ｜｜＋r Vt^γ- f｜｜X ω^rγ（f, t^1/γ）X and ｜｜＋rWt^kf - f｜｜X ω^2rk（f, t^1/（2k））X for all f ∈ X and 0 ≤t ≤2π, where X is the Banach space of all continuous functions or all L^p integrable functions, 1 ≤p ≤＋∞, on S^n with norm ｜｜·｜｜X, and ω^s（f,t）X is the modulus of smoothness of degree s 〉 0 for f ∈X. Moreover, ＋r^Vt^γ and ＋rWt^k have the same saturation class if γ= 2k.
