Let p = (pk ) be a bounded sequence of positive real numbers and v = (vk ) be any fixed sequence of nonzero complex numbers. If x = (xk ) is any sequence of complex numbers we m write ∆m v x for the sequence of the m -th order differences of x and ∆v (X) = m {x = (xk ) : ∆v x ∈ X} for any set X of sequences. In this paper we determine the α -, β - and γ - duals of the sets ∆m v (X) which are defined by Et et al. [2] for X = `∞ (p), c(p) and c0 (p). This study generalizes results of Malkowsky [9] in special cases. The Dual Spaces of the Sets of Difference Sequences of Order m Ç.A. Bektaş and M.

Introduction, Notations and Known Results Throughout this paper ω denotes the space of all scalar sequences and any subspace of ω is called a sequence space. Let `∞ , c and c0 be the linear space of bounded, convergent and null sequences with complex terms, respectively, normed by kxk∞ = sup |xk | , k where k ∈ N = {1, 2, 3, . . . }, the set of positive integers. Furthermore, let p = (pk ) be bounded sequences of positive real numbers and pk `∞ (p) = x ∈ ω : sup |xk | < ∞ , k n o c(p) = x ∈ ω : lim |xk − l|pk = 0 , for some l ∈ C , k→∞ n o pk c0 (p) = x ∈ ω : lim |xk | = 0 k→∞ (for details see [6], [7], [11]). Let x and y be complex sequences, and E and F be subsets of ω. We write \ M (E, F ) = x−1 ∗ F = {a ∈ ω : ax ∈ F for all x ∈ E } [12]. x∈E Ç.A. Bektaş and M. Et Title Page Contents JJ J II I Go Back Close In particular, the sets E α = M (E, l1 ), The Dual Spaces of the Sets of Difference Sequences of Order m Quit E β = M (E, cs) and E γ = M (E, bs) are called the α−, β− and γ− duals of E, where l1 , cs and bs are the sets of all convergent, absolutely convergent and bounded series, respectively. If E ⊂ F , Page 3 of 21 J. Ineq. Pure and Appl. Math. 7(3) Art. 101, 2006 http://jipam.vu.edu.au then F η ⊂ E η for η = α, β, γ. It is clear that E α ⊂ (E α )α = E αα . If E = E αα , then E is an α -space. In particular, an α -space is called a Köthe space or a perfect sequence space. Throughout this paper X will be used to denote any one of the sequence spaces `∞ , c and c0 . Kızmaz [5] introduced the notion of difference sequence spaces as follows: X(∆) = {x = (xk ) : (∆xk ) ∈ X}. Later on the notion was generalized by Et and Çolak in [3], namely, The Dual Spaces of the Sets of Difference Sequences of Order m X(∆m ) = {x = (xk ) : (∆m xk ) ∈ X}. Subsequently difference sequence spaces have been studied by Malkowsky and Parashar [8], Mursaleen [10], Çolak [1] and many others. Let v = (vk ) be any fixed sequence of non-zero complex numbers. Et and Esi [4] generalized the above sequence spaces to the following ones ∆m v (X) = {x = (xk ) : (∆m v xk ) m−1 where ∆0v x = (vk xk ), ∆m xk − v x = (∆v P m i m (−1) v x . Recently Et et al.

It is trivial that D is a bounded linear operator on ∆m v X(p). Furthermore the set m D[∆m v X(p)] = D∆v X(p) = {x = (xk ) : x ∈ ∆m v X(p), x1 = x2 = · · · = xm = 0} m is a subspace of ∆m v X(p). D∆v X(p) and X(p) are equivalent as topological spaces, since (1.1) The Dual Spaces of the Sets of Difference Sequences of Order m Ç.A. Bektaş and M.
