In this paper, we deal with Stancu operators which depend on a non-negative
integer parameter. Firstly, we define Kantorovich extension of the
operators. For functions belonging to the space Lp [0, 1] , 1 ? p < ?, we
obtain convergence in the norm of Lp by the sequence of Stancu-Kantorovich
operators, and we give an estimate for the rate of the convergence via first
order averaged modulus of smoothness. Moreover, for the Stancu operators; we
search variation detracting property and convergence in the space of
functions of bounded variation in the variation seminorm.
