Onesided Korovkin approximation

In this paper we study in detail some characterizations of Korovkin closures and we also introduce the notions of onesided upper and lower Korovkin closures. We provide some complete characterizations of these new closures which separate the roles of approximating functions in a Korovkin system. We also present some new characterizations of the classical Korovkin closure in spaces of integrable functions. Again we can introduce and characterize the upper and lower Korovkin closures. Finally, we provide some examples which justify the interest in these new closures.
