Introduction, preliminaries and motivation
In the interpretation of sequence spaces, the well-established traditional convergence has got innumerable applications where the convergence of a sequence demands that almost all elements are to assure the convergence condition, that is, every element of the sequence is required to be in some neighborhood of the limit. Nevertheless, there is such limitation in statistical convergence, where a set having a few elements that are not in the neighborhood of the limit is discarded. The preliminary idea of statistical convergence was presented and considered by Fast [2] and Steinhaus [3]. In the past few decades, statistical convergence has been an energetic area of research due essentially to the aspect that it is broader than customary (classical) convergence, and such hypothesis is talked about in the investigation in the fields of (for instance) Fourier analysis, functional analysis, number theory, and theory of approximation. In fact, see the current works [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and [19] for detailed study.
Let the set of natural numbers be N and suppose that K ⊆ N. Also, consider K n = {k : k n and k ∈ K} and suppose that |K n | is the cardinality of K n . Then the natural density of K is defined by {k : k n and k ∈ K} such that the limit exists. A sequence (x n ) is statistically convergent (or stat-convergent) to L if, for every > 0, K = k : k ∈ N and |x k -L| has zero natural (asymptotic) density (see [2,3]). That is, for every > 0, We present below an example to illustrate that every convergent sequence is statistically convergent but the converse is not true. Here, the sequence (x n ) is statistically convergent to 1 even if it is not classically convergent.
In 2009, Karakaya and Chishti [20], introduced the fundamental concept of weighted statistical convergence, and later the definition was modified by Mursaleen et al. (see [21]).
Suppose that (p k ) is a sequence of non-negative numbers such that P n = n k=0 p k (p 0 > 0; n → ∞).
Then, upon setting t n = 1 P n n k=0 p k x k n ∈ N 0 := N ∪ {0} , the given sequence (x n ) is weighted statistically convergent (or statN -convergent) to a number L if, for every > 0, k : k P n and p k |x k -L| has zero weighted density [21]. That is, for every > 0, lim n→∞ 1 P n k : k P n and p k |x k -L| = 0.
Similarly, we say the sequence (x n ) is statistically weighted summable to L if, for every > 0, k : k n and |t k -L| has zero weighted summable density (see [21]). That is, for every > 0, lim n→∞ 1 n k : k n and |t k -L| = 0.
In the year 2013, Belen and Mohiuddine [5] established a new technique for weighted statistical convergence in terms of the de la Vallée Poussin mean, and it was subsequently investigated further by Braha et al. [8] as the n -weighted statistical convergence. Very recently, a certain class of weighted statistical convergence and associated Korovkin-type approximation theorems involving trigonometric functions have been introduced by Srivastava et al. (see, for details, [22]).
Suppose that X and Y are two sequence spaces, and let A = (a n,k ) be a non-negative regular matrix. If for every x k ∈ X the series A n x = ∞ k=1 a n,k x k converges for all n ∈ N and the sequence (A n x) belongs to Y , then the matrix A : X → Y . Here, (X, Y ) denotes the set of all matrices that map X into Y .
Next, as regards the regularity condition, a matrix A is said to be regular if We recall here that the well-known Silverman-Toeplitz theorem (see details in [23]) asserts that A = (a n,k ) is regular if and only if the following conditions hold true: (i) sup n→∞ ∞ k=1 |a n,k | < ∞; (ii) lim n→∞ a n,k = 0 for each k; (iii) lim n→∞ ∞ k=1 a n,k = 1. Freedman and Sember [24] extended the definition of statistical convergence by considering the non-negative regular matrix A = (a n,k ), which they called A-statistical convergence. For any non-negative regular matrix A, we say that a sequence (x n ) is said to be A-statistically convergent (or stat A -convergent) to a number L if, for each > 0, We thus obtain that, for every > 0, lim n→∞ k:|x k -L| a n,k = 0.
In this case, we write In the year 1998, the concept of A-statistical convergence was extended by Kolk [25] to B-statistical convergence with reference to F B -convergence (or B-summable) due to Steiglitz (see [16]).
Suppose that B = (B i ) is a sequence of infinite matrices with B i = (b n,k (i)). Then a se- The method (B i ) is regular if and only if the following conditions hold true (see, for details, [26] and [27]): provided the limit exists.
Let R + be the set of all regular methods B with b n,k (i) 0 (∀n, k, i). Also, let B ∈ R + . We say that a sequence (x n ) is B-statistically convergent (or stat B -convergent) to a number L if, for every > 0, we have This implies that, for every > 0, In this case, we write Quite recently, Mohiuddine [28] introduced the notion of weighted A-summability by using a weighted regular summability matrix. He also gave the definitions of statistical weighted A-summability and weighted A-statistical convergence. In particular, he proved a Korovkin-type approximation theorem under the consideration of statistically weighted A-summable sequences of real or complex numbers. Subsequently, Kadak et al. [1] investigated the statistical weighted B-summability by using a weighted regular matrix to establish some approximation theorems.
Motivated essentially by the above-mentioned works, here we present the (presumably new) notions of deferred weighted B-statistical convergence and statistical deferred weighted B-summability.

Statistical deferred weighted B-summability
In the present context, here we introduce the notions of deferred weighted B-statistical convergence and statistical deferred weighted B-summability by using the deferred weighted regular matrices (methods).
Let (a n ) and (b n ) be the sequences of non-negative integers fulfilling the conditions: (i) a n < b n (n ∈ N) and (ii) lim n→∞ b n = ∞. Conditions (i) and (ii) as above are the regularity conditions of the proposed deferred weighted mean [29].
Let (p n ) be the sequence of non-negative real numbers such that In order to present the proposed deferred weighted mean σ n , we first set In this case, we write We denote by c D(N) the set of all sequences that are deferred weighted summable. Next, we present below the following definitions.
In this case, we write We denote by [D(N) B ; p n ] the set of all sequences that are deferred weighted B-summable.
Definition 1 generalizes various known definitions as analyzed in Remark 1.

Remark 1 If
then the B (a n ,b n ) n (x) mean is close to the B a,b n (x n ) mean [1], and if a n = 0, b n = n, and B = A, then the B (a n ,b n ) n (x) mean is the same as the AN m (x) mean [28]. Lastly, if a n = 0, b n = n, and B = I (identity matrix), then the B (a n ,b n ) n (x) mean is the same as the weighted mean (N, p n ) [21].
Definition 2 Let B = (b n,k (i)) and let (a n ) and (b n ) be sequences of non-negative integers. The matrix B = (B i ) is said to be a deferred weighted regular matrix (or deferred weighted regular method) if and let it be denoted by B ∈ (c : c D(N) ).
This means that B (a n ,b n ) n (x) exists for each n ∈ N, x n ∈ c and We denote by R + D(w) the set of all deferred weighted regular matrices (methods). As a characterization of the deferred weighted regular methods, we present the following theorem.

Theorem 1 Let B = (b n,k (i)) be a sequence of infinite matrices, and let (a n ) and (b n ) be sequences of non-negative integers. Then B ∈ (c : c D(N) ) if and only if
3) hold true and that x n → L (n → ∞). Then, for each > 0, Taking n → ∞ and using (2.2) and (2.3), we get ) and x n ∈ c. Then, since Bx exists, we have the inclusion Clearly, there exists a constant M such that and the corresponding series converges uniformly in i for each n. Therefore, (2.1) is valid. We now consider the sequence x (n) = (x (n) k ) ∈ c 0 defined by for all n ∈ N and y = (y n ) = (1, 1, 1, . . .) ∈ c. Then, since Bx (n) and By belong to c D(N) , thus (2.2) and (2.3) are fairly obvious.
Next, for statistical version, we present below the following definitions.
, and let (a n ) and (b n ) be sequences of non-negative integers, and also let provided that the limit exists. A sequence (x n ) is said to be deferred weighted B-statistically convergent to a number L if, for each > 0, we have Here, we write , and let (a n ) and (b n ) be sequences of non-negative integers. We say that the sequence (x n ) is statistically deferred weighted B-summable to a number L if, for each > 0, we have Here, we write We now prove the following theorem which determines the inclusion relation between the deferred weighted B-statistical convergence and the statistical deferred weighted Bsummability. Thus we have . This implies that the sequence (x n ) is deferred weighted B-summable to the number L, and hence the sequence (x n ) is statistically deferred weighted B-summable to the same number L.
In order to prove that the converse is not true, we present Example 2 (below).
Example 2 Let us consider the infinite matrices B = (B i ) with B i = (b n,k (i)) given by (see [1]) We also suppose that a n = 2n, b n = 4n, and p n = 1. It can be easily seen that B ∈ R + w . We also consider the sequence (x n ) by  Clearly, the sequence (x n ) is neither convergent nor statistically convergent and also the sequence (x n ) is not statistically weighted B-summable and weighted B-statistically convergent. However, the sequence (x n ) is deferred weighted B-summable to 1 2 , so it is statistically deferred weighted B-summable to 1 2 , but the sequence (x n ) is not deferred weighted B-statistically convergent.

A Korovkin-type theorem via statistical deferred weighted B-summability
In the last few decades, many researchers emphasized expanding or generalizing the Korovkin-type hypotheses from numerous points of view in light of a few distinct angles, containing (for instance) space of functions, Banach spaces summability theory, etc. Certainly, the change of Korovkin-type hypothesis is far from being finished till today. For additional points of interest and outcomes associated with the Korovkin-type hypothesis and other related advancements, we allude the reader to the current works [7][8][9][10]22], and [17]. The main objective of this paper is to extend the notion of statistical convergence by the help of the deferred weighted regular technique and to show how this technique leads to a number of results based upon an approximation of functions of two variables over the Banach space C B (D). Moreover, we establish some important approximation theorems related to the statistical deferred weighted B-summability and deferred weighted B-statistical convergence, which will effectively extend and improve most (if not all) of the existing results depending upon the choice of sequences of the deferred weighted B means. Based upon the proposed methodology and techniques, we intend to estimate the rate of convergence and investigate the Korovkin-type approximation results. In fact, we extend here the result of Kadak et al. [1] by using the notion of statistical deferred weighted B-summability and present the following theorem.
Let D be any compact subset of the real two-dimensional space. We denote by C B ( where f 0 (s, t) = 1, Proof Since each of the functions f j (s, t) ∈ C B (D), the following implication is fairly obvious. In order to complete the proof of Theorem 3, we first assume that (3.2) holds true. Let f ∈ C B (D), ∀(x, y) ∈ D. Since f (x, y) is bounded on D, then there exists a constant M > 0 such that which implies that Clearly, f is a continuous function on D, for given > 0, there exists δ = δ( ) > 0 such that for all s, t, x, y ∈ D.

From equations (3.3) and (3.4), we get
Since the function f ∈ C B (D), inequality (3.5) holds for s, t, x, y ∈ D. Now, since the operator T n (f (s, t); x, y) is linear and monotone, so inequality (3.5) under this operator becomes Next, taking sup x,y∈D on both sides of (3.6), we get We now replace T n (f (s, t); x, y) by in equation (3.7). Now, for given r > 0, we choose 0 < < r, and by setting K n = n : n N and L n f (s, t); x, yf (x, y) r and K j,n = n : n N and L n f j (s, t); x, yf j (x, y) r -4N (j = 0, 1, 2, 3), we easily find from (3.7) that Thus, we have Clearly, from the above supposition for the implication in (3.2) and Definition 4, the right-hand side of (3.8) tends to zero (n → ∞). Subsequently, we obtain stat D(N) lim n→∞ T n f j (s, t); x, yf j (x, y) C B (D) = 0 (j = 0, 1, 2, 3).
Hence, implication (3.1) is fairly true, which completes the proof of Theorem 3.

Remark 2 If
B = A, a n = 0, and b n = n (∀n) in our Theorem 3, then we obtain a statistical weighted A-summability version of Korovkin-type approximation theorem (see [28]). Furthermore, if we substitute a n + 1 = α(n) and b n = β(n) (∀n) in our Theorem 3, then we obtain a statistical weighted B-summability version of Korovkin-type approximation theorem (see [1]). Finally, B = I (identity matrix), a n = 0, and b n = n (∀n) in our Theorem 3, then we obtain a statistical weighted convergence version of Korovkintype approximation theorem (see [19]).
Now we recall the generating function type Meyer-König and Zeller operators of two variables (see [30] and [31]).
Let us take the following sequence of generalized linear positive operators: Because the nodes are given by s = a k,n a k,n + q n and t = c l,m c l,m + r m , the denominators of s 1s = a n,k q n and t 1t = c l,m r m are independent of k and l, respectively.
It is easy to see that L n (f (s, t); x, y) is positive linear operators. We also observe that However, since (x n ) is not statistically weighted B-summable, so the result of Kadak et al. [1], p. 85, Theorem 3, certainly does not hold for the operators defined by us in (3.10). Moreover, as (x n ) is statistically deferred weighted B-summable, therefore we conclude that our Theorem 3 works for the operators which we consider here.

Rate of deferred weighted B-statistical convergence
In this section, we compute the rate of deferred weighted B-statistical convergence of a sequence of positive linear operators of functions of two variables defined on C B (D) into itself by the help of modulus of continuity. We present the following definition.
, (a n ) and (b n ) be sequences of non-negative integers. Also let (u n ) be a positive non-decreasing sequence. We say that a sequence (x n ) is deferred weighted B-statistically convergent to a number L with the rate o(u n ) if, for every > 0, We write We now present and prove the following lemma.
Lemma 1 Let (u n ) and (v n ) be two positive non-decreasing sequences. Assume that B ∈ R + D(w) , (a n ) and (b n ) are sequences of non-negative integers, and let x = (x n ) and y = (y n ) be two sequences such that and y n - Then each of the following assertions holds true: Proof To prove assertion (i) of Lemma 1, we consider the following sets for > 0 and x ∈ D: N n = k : k P n and (x k + y k ) -(L 1 + L 2 ) , N 0;n = k : k P n and |x k -L 1 | 2 , and N 1,n = k : k P n and |y k -L 2 | 2 .
Clearly, we have N n ⊆ N 0,n ∪ N 1,n which implies, for n ∈ N, that Thus, assertion (i) of Lemma 1 is proved. As assertions (ii) to (iv) of Lemma 1 are quite similar to (i), so it can be proved along similar lines. Hence, the proof of Lemma 1 is completed.
We remind the modulus of continuity of a function of two variables f (x, y) ∈ C B (D) as (4.6) Now we present a theorem to get the rates of deferred weighted B-statistical convergence with the help of the modulus of continuity in (4.5).
Theorem 4 Let B ∈ R + D(w) , and (a n ) and (b n ) be sequences of non-negative integers. Let T n : C B (D) → C B (D) be sequences of positive linear operators. Also let (u n ) and (v n ) be positive non-decreasing sequences. We assume that the following conditions (i) and (ii) are satisfied: Then, for every f ∈ C B (D), the following assertion holds true: where (w n ) is given by (4.2).
Proof Let f ∈ C B (D) and (x, y) ∈ D. Using (4.6), we have so (5.1) holds. Now, by applying (5.1) and our Theorem 3, condition (5.2) holds. However, since (x n ) is not statistically weighted B-summable, so we can demand that the result of Kadak et al. [1], p. 85, Theorem 3, does not hold true for our operator defined in (3.10). Thus, our Theorem 3 is also a non-trivial extension of Kadak et al. [1], p. 85, Theorem 3, and [21]. Based upon the above results, it is concluded here that our proposed method has successfully worked for the operators defined in (3.10), and therefore it is stronger than the ordinary and statistical versions of the Korovkin-type approximation theorem (see [1,32], and [21]) established earlier.
