In the present paper, we establish the Korovkin type theorems concerning positive linear operators defined for functions on [a, b] and also for functions on [0,∞)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$[0,\infty )$$\end{document}, via deferred statistical convergence of order α\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\alpha$$\end{document}, (0<α≤1)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$(0<\alpha \le 1)$$\end{document}. Further, we illustrate the application of our study to the generalized Bernstein polynomials introduced by Cao (J Math Anal Appl 209:140–146, 1997) and furnish an example to show that our Theorem 3 is a non-trivial generalization of the classical Korovkin type theorem.
