Primary g6AgO, 06F20; Secondary INTRODUCTION. In the direction of generalizing the K6the theory of perfect sequence spaces [13], [16], the concept of a vector valued sequence space (VVSS) or a generalized sequence space defined with the help of a scalar valued sequence space (SVSS) was introduced by P ietsch [21], who also used these spaces in the study of absolutely summing operators and nuclear spaces, cf. [20], [22]. Moreover, the topological properties of VVSS which are defined by using the seminorms generating the topology of a locally convex space and a SVSS and have been found useful in the study of ,-nuclearity, X-bases, operators of ,-type, absolutely x-summing operators, [], ,[5], (see also [i] and [15] for bases theory and its applications related to nuclearity etc. in 1ocally convex spaces) and completeness of the space via their mixed structure [9], are sufficiently explored now [], [8], [18], [2]. However, if the underlying locally convex space and M. GUPTA AND K. KAUSHAL 342 the SVSS have additional structure of ordering, it is natural to inquire the mixed impact of the topology and the order structure on the VVSS. This study when X has an order structure, was taken up by Walsh [27] for certain type of VVSS, who applied these spaces to study K-absolutely summing and majorizing operators introduced for Banach lattices in [25]. In the present paper, we carry out investigations related to this mixed impact of ordering and topological structure of the locally convex solid Riesz spaces and the SVSS on the VVSS and vice-versa. Besides, we also our of o-matrix transformations initiated in [10] for partistudy co.ntinue cular ordered VVSS introduced in 2. [11]. PREREQUISITES. In this section, we mention the salient features of Riesz spaces, locally convex solid Riesz spaces, scalar and vector valued sequence spaces required for our present work. However for unexplained terms in these theories, the reader is urged to look into [1], [17], [i9], [26]. Throughout the sequel, X denotes a Riesz space ordered by the cone K. The notations x (resp. x +) are used for an increasing (resp. x) provided x ’/ and in X and x decreasing) net {x x (resp. x x). x (resp. x sup x and inf x (o) A net {x a in X’ order converges to X, written as x, if there exists a net (ya} in X with y 0 < Ya for each a; and x a and it converges relatively uniformly to x, if there exists u K such > o, there exists that for any the condition satisfying o < a > a u, where u is known as the regulator of convergence. A sequence {x in X is said to be order-Cauchy (respectively, relatively n O in X such that uniformly Cauchy) if there exists some sequence Yn < > o, there exists k for all m,k _> n (resp. for any N < u for n,m _> k); accordingly, X is order-Cauchy such that complete [[3],[12]] (resp. uniformly co____mplete) if every order-Cauchy (resp. relatively uniformly Cauchy) sequence is order convergent (resp. relatively uniformly convergent) in X. Ix x Ixa-xl ^ IXm-Xk[ Yn xn-xml Relating the above concepts of convergence and completeness, we have the following well known result contained in [i], [19], [3]. PROPOSITION 2.1. (i) In a o-order complete Riesz space X with the diagonal property, the order, and uniform convergence coincide for sequences; (ii) every order complete Riesz space is uniformly complete; and (iii) every -order complete Riesz space is order-Cauchy complete. We now equip X with a locally convex topology generated by the < in X, family=) of Riesz seminorms p’s, i.e., p(x) < p(y) for We refer so that (X, z) is a locally convex solid (l.c.s.) Riesz space.

Fremlin [6] . . for the special case of Banach lattices; however, in its present form it is to be found in [2] (with a simplified proof due to A.R. Schep). We follow [18], [23] for the fundamentals of vector valued sequence spaces (VVSS).

This section which is divided into two subsections incorporates results on o-matrix transformations from one OVVSS to another OVVSS defined corresponding to Riesz spaces. Whereas the first subsection deals with the o-precompactness of the o-matrix transformation, the second subsection includes characterizations of such transformations on particular OVVSS in terms of component linear operators. Before we pass on to these results, let us recall [i0]. DEFINITION 4.1. Let X and Y be two order complete Riesz spaces such that ^(X) and (Y) are ideals in n(X) and n(Y) respectively. A linear map Z from ^(X) to u(Y) is said to be an o-matrix transformation if there exists a matrix every [Zij of linear maps from X to Y such that for ^(X) and each [x.) in e order converges to some Yi Y and Z() case we write Zij ].

If Z is an order bounded, sequentially order continuous linear map from ^(X) to (Y), given by the matrix [Zij] of linear maps from X to Y for i,j >_ i, then the adjoint Z of Z is an order bounded, sequentially order continuous o-matrix transformation from uX(ySO) to ^X(xS) such that Z o-PRECOMPACTNESS OF o-MATRIX TRANSFORMATIONS.

In this subsection, we characterize o-matrix transformations from c(X), ’(X) to themselves, cs(X) to c(X) and derive necessary conditions for a matrix of linear operators to transform l(x) into a simple OVVSS ^(X). We begin with the following general result: PROPOSITION .6. Let X be a Riesz space, Y an order complete Riesz space and T n a sequence of positive linear operators from X to Y.

The authors are thankful to the referee for his sugg- estions, especially for pointing out the concepts of order-Cauchy complete Riesz space and Proposition 2.1 (iii) which have improved Proposition 4.6 and Theorem 4.8 in the present form, proved earlier for order complete space Y with diagonal property.
