We introduce a generalization of the Jakimovski-Leviatan operators constructed by A.Jakimovski and D. Leviatan (1969) in [1] and the theorems on convergence and the degree of convergence are established. We also give a Voronovskaya-type theorem. Furthermore, we study the convergence of these operators in a weighted space of functions on a positive semi-axis and estimate the approximation by using a new type of weighted modulus of continuity introduced by A.D. Gadjiev and A. Aral (2007) in [9]. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
