On Generalized Paranormed Statistically Convergent Sequence Spaces Defined by Orlicz Function

Abstract

We define generalized paranormed sequence spaces , , , and defined over a seminormed sequence space . We establish some inclusion relations between these spaces under some conditions.

1. Introduction

will represent the spaces of all, convergent, null, statistically convergent, statistically null, bounded, bounded statistically convergent, and bounded statistically null -valued sequence spaces throughout the paper, where is a seminormed space, seminormed by For the space of complex numbers, these spaces represent the which are the spaces of all, convergent, null, statistically convergent, statistically null, bounded, bounded statistically convergent, and bounded statistically null sequences, respectively. The zero sequence is denoted by , where is the zero element of .

The idea of statistical convergence was introduced by Fast [1] and studied by various authors (see [24]). The notion depends on the density of subsets of the set of natural numbers. A subset of is said to have density if

(1.1)

where is the characteristic function of .

A sequence is said to be statistically convergent to the number (i.e., ) if for every

(1.2)

In this case, we write or stat lim

Let be a mapping of the set of positive integers into itself. A continuous linear functional on , the space of real bounded sequences, is said to be an invariant mean or -mean if and only if

(1) when the sequence has for all ,

(2), where

(3) for all

The mappings are one to one and such that for all positive integers and where denotes the th iterate of the mapping at . Thus extends the limit functional on , the space of convergent sequences, in the sense that for all . In that case is translation mapping , a -mean is often called a Banach limit, and , the set of bounded sequences all of whose invariant means are equal, is the set of almost convergent sequences [5].

If , set It can be shown [6] that

(1.3)

where

Several authors including Schaefer [7], Mursaleen [6], Sava [8], and others have studied invariant convergent sequences.

An Orlicz function is a function , which is continuous, nondecreasing, and convex with for and as . If the convexity of an Orlicz function is replaced by

(1.4)

then this function is called modulus function, introduced and investigated by Nakano [9] and followed by Ruckle [10], Maddox [11], and many others.

Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri [12] used the idea of Orlicz function to construct the sequence space

(1.5)

which is called an Orlicz sequence space.

The space becomes a Banach space with the norm

(1.6)

The space is closely related to the space which is an Orlicz sequence space with for . Orlicz sequence spaces were introduced and studied by Parashar and Choudhary [13], Bhardwaj and Singh [14], and many others.

It is well known that since is a convex function and then for all with .

An Orlicz funtion is said to satisfy -condition for all values of , if there exists constant , such that . The -condition is equivalent to the inequality for all values of and for being satisfied [15].

The notion of paranormed space was introduced by Nakano [16] and Simons [17]. Later on it was investigated by Maddox [18], Lascarides [19], Rath and Tripathy [20], Tripathy and Sen [21], Tripathy [22], and many others.

The following inequality will be used throughout this paper. Let be a sequence of positive real numbers with and let . Then for , the set of complex numbers for all , we have [23]

(1.7)

2. Definitions and Notations

A sequence space is said to be solid (or normal) if , whenever and for all sequences of scalars with for all .

A sequence space is said to be symmetric if implies , where is a permutation of .

A sequence space is said to be monotone if it contains the canonical preimages of its step spaces.

Throughout the paper will represent a sequence of positive real numbers and a seminormed space over the field of complex numbers with the seminorm . We define the following sequence spaces:

(2.1)

We write

(2.2)

If , for each and then these spaces reduce to the spaces

(2.3)

defined by Tripathy and Sen [21].

Firstly, we give some results; those will help in establishing the results of this paper.
