In recent paper,BedeandGalbyusingaverycomplicated methodtothisopenquestionananswerisgiven √ by obtaining an upper estimate of the approximation error of the form Cω1f;1/ n with an unexplicit absolute constant C 0 and the question of improving the order of approximation √ ω1f;1/ n is raised. The ?rst aim of this note is to obtain this order of approximation but by a simpler method, which in addition presents, at least, two advantages: it produces an explicit √ constant in front of ω1f;1/ n and it can easily be extended to other max-prod operators of Bernstein type. However, for subclasses of functions f including, for example, that of concave functions,we?ndtheorderofapproximation ω1f;1/n,whichformanyfunctionsfisessentially better than the order ofapproximation obtained by the linear Bernstein operators. Finally,some shape-preserving propertiesareobtained. Copyright q2009Barnab′asBedeetal.ThisisanopenaccessarticledistributedundertheCreative Commons Attribution License, wh
