STATISTICALLY CONVERGENT DOUBLE SEQUENCE SPACES DEFINED BY ORLICZ FUNCTIONS BY BINOD CHANDRA TRIPATHY AND BIPUL SARMA Abstract. In this article we define different type of statistically convergent, statistically null and statistically bounded double sequence spaces on a seminormed space by Orlicz functions. We study their different properties like solidness, denseness, symmetricity, completeness etc. We obtain some inclusion relations.
1. Introduction The notion of statistical convergence was introduced by Fast [7] and Schoenberg [17] independently. It is also found in Zygmund [21]. Later on it was studied by Fridy and Orhan [8], Maddox [10], Salat [16], Rath and Tripathy [15], Tripathy [19, 20] and many others. Throughout the article χE denotes the characteristic function of E. The notion of statistical convergence depends on the density of subsets of N . A subset E of N is said to have density δ(E) if ∞ 1X χE (k) exists. n→∞ n k=1
δ(E) = lim
A sequence (xn ) is said to be statistically convergent to L if for every > 0 δ({k ∈ N : |xk − L| ≥ }) = 0. Throughout a double sequence will be denoted by A =< a nk > i.e. a double infinite array of elements ank , for all n, k ∈ N .

convergence for double sequences was introduced by Tripathy [20]. For this he introduced the notion of density of subsets of N × N as follows: A subset E of N × N is said to have density ρ(E) if 1 X X χE (n, k) exists. p,q→∞ pq n≤p k≤q
ρ(E) = lim
Throughout (X, q) will represent a seminormed space seminormed by q. An Orlicz function M is a mapping M : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) such that it is continuous, non-decreasing and convex with M (0) = 0, M (x) > 0, for x > 0 and M (x) → ∞, as x → ∞. An Orlicz function M is said to satisfy ∆ 2 - condition if there exists a constant K > 0 such that M (2u) ≤ KM (u) for all values of u ≥ 0. 2. Definitions and Preliminaries A double sequence A =< ank > is said to converge in Pringsheim’s sense to L if lim ank = L, where n and k tend to ∞, independent of each other.

A double sequence < ank > is said to converge regularly if it converges in Pringsheim’s sense and in addition the following limits exist. lim ank = Lk

(k = 1, 2, 3, . . .)
and lim ank = Jn (n = 1, 2, 3 . . .).

Throughout the article 2 w(q), 2 `∞ (q), 2 c(q), 2 c0 (q), 2 cR (q), 2 cR 0 (q) will denote the spaces of all, bounded, convergent in Pringsheim’s sense, null in Pringsheim’s sense, regularly convergent, regularly null X-valued double sequence spaces respectively. An X-valued double sequence < ank > is said to be statistically convergent to L if for every > 0, ρ({(n, k) ∈ N × N : q(a nk − L) ≥ }) = 0.

An X-valued double sequence A is said to be statistically regularly convergent if it converges in Pringsheim’s sense and the following statistical limits exist. stat-lim ank = Lk n→∞
(k = 1, 2, 3, . . .)
and stat-lim ank = Jn (n = 1, 2, 3 . . .). k→∞
An X-valued double sequence A is said to be statistically bounded if there exists G > 0 such that ρ({(n, k) : q(ank ) > G}) = 0. For M an Orlicz function, we now introduce the following double sequence spaces: 2 `∞ (M, q)

A double sequence space E is said to be solid if < α nk ank >∈ E whenever < ank >∈ E for all sequences < αnk > of scalars with |αnk | ≤ 1 for all n, k ∈ N. A double sequence space E is said to be symmetric if < a nk >∈ E implies < aπ(n)π(k) >∈ E, where π is a permutations on N . A double sequence space E is said to be a sequence algebra if < a nk bnk >∈ E, whenever < ank >, < bnk >∈ E. A double sequence space E is said to be monotone if it contains the canonical preimages of all its step spaces.

A double sequence space E is said to be convergence free if < b nk >∈ E, whenever < ank >∈ E and ank = θ implies bnk = θ. Remark 1. A sequence space E is solid implies E is monotone. The zero single sequence will be denoted by θ¯ = (θ, θ, θ, θ, . . .) and the zero double sequence will be denoted by 2 θ¯ =< θ >. Throughout e = (1, 1, 1, . . .) and ek = (0, 0, . . . , 1, 0, 0, . . .), where the only 1 appears at the k-th place. Throughout the article (2 c¯)R (M, q), (2 c¯0 )R (M, q),

Main Results The proof of the following result is a routine verification in view of the existing technique. Theorem 1. The classes Z(M, q), where Z = (2 c¯0 )R , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR , 2 `¯∞ are linear spaces.

Theorem 2. The spaces Z(M, q), where Z = ( 2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and 2 `∞ are seminormed spaces, seminormed by f (< ank >) = inf{ρ > 0 : sup M (q( n,k
ank )) ≤ 1}. ρ
¯ = 0 and Proof. Since q is a seminorm, so we have f (A) ≥ 0 for all A; f ( 2 θ) f (λA) = |λ|f (A) for all scalars λ. Let < ank > and < bnk >∈ (2 c¯)B (M, q). There exist ρ1 , ρ2 > 0 such that sup M (q( n,k

Let ρ = ρ1 + ρ2 . Then we have, sup M (q( n,k
ρ1 ank ρ2 bnk ank + bnk )) ≤ ( ) sup M (q( )) + ( ) sup M (q( )) ≤ 1. ρ ρ1 + ρ2 n,k ρ1 ρ1 + ρ2 n,k ρ2
Since ρ1 , ρ2 > 0, so we have, f (< ank > + < bnk >) = inf{ρ = ρ1 + ρ2 > 0 : sup M (q( n,k

ank bnk )) ≤ 1} + inf{ρ2 > 0 : sup M (q( )) ≤ 1} ρ1 ρ2 n,k
= f (< ank >) + f (< bnk >). Hence f is a seminorm. Theorem 3. Let (X, q) be a complete seminormed space. Then the spaces Z(M, q), where Z = (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and 2 `∞ are complete seminormed spaces seminormed by f . Proof. We prove the theorem for the space ( 2 c¯)B (M, q) and the proof for the other cases can be established following similar technique. Let A i =< aink > be a Cauchy sequence in (2 c¯)B (M, q). We have to show the following: (i) aink → ank , as i → ∞, for each (n, k) ∈ N × N . (ii) ai → a, as i → ∞, where stat-lim aink = ai , for each i ∈ N. (iii) ank stat −→ a (relative to M ). Let > 0 be given. For a fixed x0 > 0, choose r > 0 such that M ( rx30 ) ≥ 1 and m0 ∈ N be such that f (< aink − ajnk >)

Hence < aink > is a Cauchy sequence in X for all (n, k) ∈ N × N. Since X is complete, so there exists ank ∈ X, such that aink → ank , as i → ∞, for each (n, k) ∈ N × N. (ii) We have stat-lim aink = ai for each i ∈ N . Thus there exists a subset Ei ⊂ N × N such that ρ(Ei ) = 1, for each i ∈ N and for a given > 0, aink −ai )) ≤ M ( ), for all (n, k) ∈ Ei , for each i ∈ N and some r > 0. r 3r i ⇒ q(ank −ai ) < , for all (n, k) ∈ Ei , for each i ∈ N and by continuity of M .

Let i, j ≥ m0 and (n, k) ∈ Ei ∩ Ej . Then we have q(ai − aj ) ≤ q(aink − ai ) + q(aink − ajnk ) + q(ajnk − aj ) < + + = , by (3) and (4). 3 3 3 Hence < ai > is a Cauchy sequence in X, which is complete. Thus < a i > converges in X and let limi→∞ ai = a. (iii) For 1 > 0 given, let i ≥ m0 and r > 0 be so chosen that M ( r ) < 1 and the following hold. From (ii) we have a subset E ⊂ N × N such that q(aink − ai ) < . 3 By (i) we have q(ank − aink ) < 3 , for all i ≥ m0 . By (ii) we have q(ai − a) < 3 , for all i ≥ m0 . Hence for all i ≥ m0 and for all (n, k) ∈ E with ρ(E) = 1, we have q(ank − a) ≤ q(ank − aink ) + q(aink − ai ) + q(ai − a)
0 and all (n, k) ∈ E with ρ(E) = 1. r r ⇒ stat-lim ank = a. ⇒ M (q(
Hence < ank >∈ (2 c¯)B (M, q). Thus (2 c¯)B (M, q) is a complete seminormed space. Proposition 4. The spaces 2 c¯0 (M, q), (2 c¯0 )BR (M, q), (2 c¯0 )B (M, q), (2 c¯0 )R (M, q), 2 `∞ (M, q) and 2 `¯∞ (M, q) are solid and hence are monotone. Proof. Let < αnk > be a double sequence of scalars such that |α nk | ≤ 1, for all n, k ∈ N .

Then the proof for 2 c¯0 (M, q), (2 c¯0 )BR (M, q), (2 c¯0 )B (M, q), (2 c¯0 )R (M, q), ¯ 2 `∞ (M, q) and 2 `∞ (M, q) are obvious in view of the following inequality, M (q(

The rest of the proof of first part follows from Remark 1. Proposition 5. The spaces Z(M, q), where Z = 2 c¯, 2 c¯0 , (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)R , (2 c¯0 )R , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR , 2 `¯∞ are not symmetric. The above result follows from the following examples:

Theorem 6. Let M and M1 be two Orlicz functions, then Z(M1 , q) ⊆ Z(M ◦ M1 , q), for Z = 2 c¯, 2 c¯0 , (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)R , (2 c¯0 )R , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and ¯ 2 `∞ (M, q). Proof. We prove it for the case Z = 2 c¯0 , the other cases can be proved following similar technique. Let > 0 be given. Since M is continuous, so there exists η > 0 such that M (η) = . Let < ank >∈ 2 c¯0 (M1 , q). Then there exists a subset K ⊂ N × N with ρ(K) = 1 such that ank )) < η, for all (n, k) ∈ K. r ank )) < . ⇒ M ◦ M1 (q( r M1 (q(
Hence < ank >∈ 2 c¯0 (M ◦ M1 , q). Thus 2 c¯0 (M1 , q) ⊂ 2 c¯0 (M ◦ M1 , q). Theorem 7. If M and M1 are two Orlicz functions then Z(M1 , q) ∩ Z(M2 , q) ⊆ Z(M1 + M2 , q), for Z = 2 c¯, 2 c¯0 , (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)R , (2 c¯0 )R , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR , 2 `¯∞ . Proof. We prove the result for 2 c¯(M, q). The other cases can be established following similar technique. Let < ank >∈ 2 c¯(M1 , q) ∩ 2 c¯(M2 , q). Let > 0 be given. Then there exist subsets K and D of N × N such that ρ(K) = ρ(D) = 1 and M1 (q(

and
Let r = max{r1 , r2 }. Then for all (n, k) ∈ K ∩ D we have (M1 + M2 )(q(

Hence < ank >∈ 2 c¯(M1 + M2 , q). This completes the proof. The proof of the following result is a consequence of Theorem 6.

Corollary 8. Let M be an Orlicz function then we have Z(q) ⊂ Z(M, q), for Z = 2 c¯, 2 c¯0 , (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)R , (2 c¯0 )R , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and 2 `¯∞ . The proof of the following result is a routine work. Theorem 9. Let M be an Orlicz function, q 1 and q2 be seminorms. Then (i) Z(M, q1 ) ∩ Z(M, q2 ) ⊆ Z(M, q1 + q2 ). (ii) If q1 is stronger than q2 , then Z(M, q1 ) ⊂ Z(M, q2 ), for Z = 2 c¯, 2 c¯0 , (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)R , (2 c¯0 )R , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and 2 `¯∞ . The following result can be proved by using standard technique. Theorem 10. Let M be an Orlicz function. Then Z(M, q) ⊂ for Z = (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and the inclusions are strict.
2 `∞ (M, q),
The following result is a consequence of the above Theorem and Theorem 3. Corollary 11. The spaces Z(M, q) for Z = ( 2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR are nowhere dense subset of 2 `∞ . Theorem 12. The spaces Z(M, q) where Z = 2 c¯, 2 c¯0 , (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)R , (2 c¯0 )R , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and 2 `¯∞ are not convergence free. The above result is clear from the following example. Example 3. Let M (x) = xp , for some 1 ≤ p < ∞, X = `∞ , q(x) = supi |xi |, for x = (xi ) ∈ `∞ . Then the double sequence < ank > defined as ank = (k −1 , k −1 , k −1 , . . .), for all n, k ∈ N belongs to all the spaces. Consider the sequence < bnk > defined as bnk = (k, k, k, . . .), for all n, k ∈ N . Then < b nk > does not belong to any of these spaces. Hence none of the spaces is convergence free. Proposition 13. The spaces Z(M, q), for Z = 2 c¯, (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯)R , (2 c¯)BR are not monotone and hence are not solid. Proof. The first part follows from the following example. The second part follows from Remark 1. Example 4. Let M (x) = x, X = C and q(x) = |x|. Then the double

sequence < ank >, defined by ank = 1, for all n, k ∈ N belong to Z(M, q), for Z = 2 c¯, (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯)R , (2 c¯)BR . Consider its pre-image < bnk > defined as bnk =
0,
1,
for k even, for all n ∈ N, for k odd, for all n ∈ N.
Then < bnk > does not belong to any of these spaces. Remark 2. Let (X, k.k) be a normed linear space. Then the spaces Z(M, k.k), for Z = (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and 2 `∞ will be normed linear spaces normed by f (< ank >) = inf{ρ > 0 : sup M (k( n,k
ank )k) ≤ 1}. ρ
Remark 3. If X is a Banach space then it is clear that the spaces Z(M, k.k), for Z = (2 c¯)B , (2 c¯0 )B , (2 c¯)BR , (2 c¯0 )BR and 2 `∞ are Banach spaces under the norm f. References [1] M.
