In this paper, we introduce a family of bivariate α , q -Bernstein–Kantorovich operators and a family of G B S (Generalized Boolean Sum) operators of bivariate α , q -Bernstein–Kantorovich type. For the former, we obtain the estimate of moments and central moments, investigate the degree of approximation for these bivariate operators in terms of the partial moduli of continuity and Peetre’s K-functional. For the latter, we estimate the rate of convergence of these G B S operators for B-continuous and B-differentiable functions by using the mixed modulus of smoothness.
