We also study some connections between lacunary (A, ϕk , ∆m u) m statistically convergence and lacunary strong (A, ϕk , ∆u ) - convergence . Keywords: Difference sequence, modulus function, ϕ- function, lacunary sequence, statistical convergence. 1 Introduction Let w be the set of all sequences of real or complex numbers and l∞ , c and c0 be, respectively, the Banach spaces of bounded, convergent and null sequences x = (xk ) with the usual norm kxk = sup |xk | . k By a lacunary θ = (kr ); r = 0, 1, 2, . . .where k0 = 0, we shall mean an increasing sequence of non-negative integers with kr − kr−1 → ∞ as r → ∞ . The intervals determined by θ will be denoted by Ir = (kr−1 , kr ] and hr = kr will be denoted by qr . In [1], the space of lacunary kr − kr−1 .The ratio kr−1 34 Metin Başarır et al. strongly convergent sequences Nθ was defined as follows: Nθ = x = (xi ) : r→∞ lim h−1 r X i∈Ir |xi − s| = 0 for some s . A modulus function f is a function from acting [0, ∞) to [0, ∞) such that (i) f (x) = 0 if and only if x = 0, (ii) f (x + y) ≤ f (x) + f (y) for all x, y ≥ 0, (iii) f increasing, (iv) f is continuous from at the right zero. Since |f (x) − f (y)| ≤ f (|x − y|), it follows from condition (iv) that f is continuous on [0, ∞). Furthermore, we have f (nx) ≤ nf (x) for all n ∈ N , from condition (ii) and so x 1 f (x) = f (nx ) ≤ nf ( ). n n Hence, for all n ∈ N 1 x f (x) ≤ f ( ). n n A modulus may be bounded or unbounded. For example, f (x) = xp , for x is bounded. Ruckle [9] and Maddox 0 < p ≤ 1 is unbounded, but f (x) = 1+x [10], used a modulus f to construct some sequence spaces. Furthermore, modulus function has been discussed in [5], [11], [12], [13] and [14] and many others. The difference sequence space X(∆) was first introduced by Kızmaz [2] as follows: X(∆) = {x = (xk ) ∈ w : (∆xk ) ∈ X} for X = l∞ , c and c; where ∆xk = xk − xk+1 for all k ∈ N. The notion of difference sequence spaces was further generalized by Et and Colak [3] as follows: X(∆m ) = {x = (xk ) ∈ w : (∆m xk ) ∈ X} for X = l∞ , c and c; where ∆m xk = ∆m−1 xk − ∆m−1 xk+1 and ∆0 xk = xk for all k ∈ N . Taking X = l∞ (p), c(p) and c0 (p), these sequence spaces has been generalized by Et and Başarır [4]. The generalized difference has the following binomial representation: m ∆ xk = m X v=0 for all k ∈ N . (−1) v m v ! xk+v On Lacunary Strongly Convergent... 35 Subsequently, difference sequence spaces have been discussed by several authors [18], [14], [6] and [7]. By a ϕ-function we understood a continuous non-decreasing function ϕ(v) defined for v ≥ 0 and such that ϕ(0) = 0, ϕ(v) > 0 for v > 0 and ϕ(v) → ∞ as v → ∞. In [15], [16], [17] and [19]; some sequence spaces was studied using by ϕfunction. Let ϕ = (ϕk ) and ψ = (ψk ) be sequences of ϕ-functions. A sequence of ϕ-functions ϕ is called non weaker than a sequence of ϕ-function ψ and we write ψ ≺ ϕ (or ψk ≺ ϕk for all k) if there are constants c, b, n, l > 0 such that cψk (lv) ≺ bϕk (nv) (for all, large or small v, respectively). Two sequences of ϕ-functions ϕ and ψ are called equivalent and we write ϕ ∼ ψ (or ψk ≺ ϕk for all k) if there are positive constants b1 , b2 , c, k1 , k2 , l such that b1 ϕk (k1 v) ≤ cψk (lv) ≤ b2 ϕk (k2 v) (for all, large or small v, respectively). A sequence of ϕ-functions ϕ is said to satisfy the ∆2 -condition (for all, large or small v, respectively) if for some constant l > 1 there is satisfied the inequality ϕk (2v) ≤ lϕk (v) for all k. For a ϕ-function satisfying the ∆2 -condition, there is L > 0 such that ϕk (cv) ≤ Lϕk (v) (1) for v large enough. Indeed, for every c > 0 there is an integer s such that c ≤ 2s and ϕk (cv) ≤ ϕk (2s v) ≤ ls ϕk (v) (2) for v large enough. Let A = (ank ) be an infinite matrix such that; a) A is non-negative, i.e. ank ≥ 0 for n, k = 1, 2, ... , b) for an arbitrary positive integer n (or k) there exists a positive integer k0 (or n0 ) such that ank 6= 0 (or an0 k 6= 0), respectively, c) there exists lim ank = 0 for k = 1, 2, . . . , , n d) sup n ∞ P ank < ∞, k=1 e) sup ank → 0 as k → ∞. n In the present paper, we introduce and study some properties of the following difference sequence space that is defined by using a sequence of ϕ-functions and a sequence of modulus functions. 2 Main Results Let θ = (kr ) be a lacunary sequence, ϕ = (ϕk ) and f = (fn ) be given a sequence of ϕ-functions and a sequence of modulus functions, respectively, m 36 Metin Başarır et al. be a positive integer and u = (uk ) be any sequence such that uk 6= 0 for all k.

Theorem 2.2 Let the sequence ϕ = (ϕk (v)) of ϕ-functions satisfies the ∆2 -condition for all k and for large v then Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) is linear space. Proof. Firstly we prove that if x = (xk ) ∈ Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) and α is 0 m an arbitrary number then αx ∈ Vθ ((A, ϕk , ∆u ) , fn ). Let us remark that for 0 < α < 1 we get ∞ ∞ X X 1 X 1 X fn ank ϕk (|∆m αx |) ≤ f ank ϕk (|∆m k n u u xk |) . hr n∈Ir h r n∈Ir k=1 k=1 ! ! Moreover, if α > 1 then we may find a positive number s such that α < 2s and we obtain ∞ ∞ X X 1 X 1 X s fn ank ϕk (|∆m αx |) ≤ f d ank ϕk (|∆m k n u u xk |) hr n∈Ir h r n∈Ir k=1 k=1 ! ! ∞ X K X ≤ fn ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) hr n∈Ir k=1 ! where d and K are constants connected with the properties of ϕ and f functions. We recall that a ϕ−function satisfying the ∆2 −condition implies (1) and (2). Hence we obtain αx ∈ Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ). 39 On Lacunary Strongly Convergent... Secondly, let x, y ∈ Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) and α, β arbitrary numbers. We 0 will show that αx + βy ∈ Vθ ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ). ∞ ∞ X X 1 X K1 X fn ank ϕk (|∆m (αx + βy )|) ≤ f ank ϕk (|∆m k k n u u xk |) hr n∈Ir h r n∈Ir k=1 k=1 ! ! ∞ X K2 X + fn ank ϕk (|∆m u yk |) hr n∈Ir k=1 ! where the constants K1 and K2 are defined as above. In consequence, αx + βy ∈ Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) . Now, we give the following Proposition that is necessary for proof of the Theorem 2.4. Proposition 2.3 ([5]) Let f be a modulus and let 0 < δ < 1. Then for each v ≥ δ we have f (v) ≤ 2f (1)δ −1 v. Theorem 2.4 Let ϕ = (ϕk ) and f = (fn ) be given a sequence of ϕfunctions and a sequence of modulus functions, respectively and sup fn (1) < ∞. n 0 m Then Vθ0 (A, ϕk , ∆m u ) ⊂ Vθ ((A, ϕk , ∆u ) , fn ). Proof. Let x ∈ Vθ0 (A, ϕk , ∆m u ) and put sup fn (1) = M . For a given ε > 0 n we choose 0 < δ < 1 such that fn (x) < ε for every x ∈ [0, δ] and for all n. We can write ∞ X 1 X fn ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) = S1 + S2 hr n∈Ir k=1 ! where ∞ X 1 X S1 = fn ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) hr n∈Ir k=1 ! and this sum is taken over ∞ X ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) ≤ δ k=1 and ∞ X 1 X fn S2 = ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) hr n∈Ir k=1 ! and this sum is taken over 40 Metin Başarır et al. ∞ X ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) > δ. k=1 By the definition of the modulus f we have S1 ≤ 1 X 1 fn (δ) < (hr ε) = ε hr n∈Ir hr and moreover ∞ 1 1 XX S2 ≤ 2M ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) δ hr n∈Ir k=1 by Proposition 2.3. Finally we have x ∈ Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ). This completes the proof. Theorem 2.5 Let ϕ = (ϕk ) and f = (fn ) be given a sequence of ϕfunctions and a sequence of modulus functions, respectively. If lim inf fnv(v) > v→∞ n 0 then 0 m Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) = Vθ (A, ϕk , ∆u ) . Proof. If lim inf fnv(v) > 0 then there exists a number c > 0 such that v→∞ n fn (v) > cv for v > 0 and n ∈ N . Let x ∈ Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) . Clearly ∞ ∞ X X 1 X 1 X ank ϕk (|∆m ank ϕk (|∆m fn x |) ≥ c u k u xk |) hr n∈Ir h r n∈Ir k=1 k=1 ! ! ∞ c X X = ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) . hr n∈Ir k=1 ! Therefore x ∈ Vθ0 (A, ϕk , ∆m u ) . By using Theorem 2.4, the proof is completed. Theorem 2.6 Let θ = (kr ) be a lacunary sequence and f = (fn ) be a sequence of modulus functions. 0 m (i) If lim inf qr > 1 then V 0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) ⊂ Vθ ((A, ϕk , ∆u ) , fn ) . 0 m (ii) If lim sup qr < ∞ then Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) ⊂ V ((A, ϕk , ∆u ) , fn ) . 0 m (iii) If 1 < lim inf qr ≤ lim sup qr < ∞ then Vθ0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , fn ) = V ((A, ϕk , ∆u ) , fn ) . Proof. This can be proved by using the same techniques in [11] and hence we omit the proof. The next result follows from Theorem 2.5 and Theorem 2.6. Corollary 2.7 If lim inf fnv(v) > 0 and 1 < lim inf qr ≤ lim sup qr < ∞ v→∞ n then Vθ0 (A, ϕk , ∆m ) = V 0 ((A, ϕk , ∆m u u ) , fn ). 41 On Lacunary Strongly Convergent... 3 Sθ0 (A, ϕk , ∆m u ) -Statistical Convergence Let the matrix A = (ank ) be given as previously, θ = (kr ) be a lacunary sequence, the sequence of ϕ-functions ϕ = (ϕk ) and a positive number ε > 0 be given. We write, ( Kθr ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , ε) = n ∈ Ir : ∞ X ) ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) ≥ε . k=1 The sequence x is said to be lacunary (A, ϕk , ∆m u )- statistically convergent to a number zero if for every ε > 0 1 µ (Kθr ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , ε)) = 0 r h r where µ (Kθr (((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , ε))) denotes the number of element belonging to r m Kθ (((A, ϕk , ∆u ) , ε)). We denote by Sθ0 (A, ϕk , ∆m u ), the set of sequences x = m (xk ) which are lacunary (A, ϕk , ∆u )-statistically convergent to a number zero. We write lim Sθ0 (A, ϕk , ∆m u ) = x = (xk ) : lim r 1 µ (Kθr ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , ε)) = 0 . hr 0 m When we take θ = (2r ), Sθ0 (A, ϕk , ∆m u ) reduces to S (A, ϕk , ∆u ). 0 If we take A = I and ϕk (x) = x for all k and x, then Sθ (A, ϕk , ∆m u ) reduces m 0 to Sθ (∆u ) defined by Sθ0 (∆m u ) = x = (xk ) : lim r 1 µ ({k ∈ Ir : (|∆m u xk |) ≥ ε}) = 0 . hr Now we have, Theorem 3.1 Let θ = (kr ) be a lacunary sequence, ϕ = (ϕk (v)) and ψ = (ψk (v)) are two sequences of ϕ-functions. (i) If ψ ≺ ϕ and ϕk satisfies the ∆2 -condition for large v and for all k then 0 m (A, ψk , ∆m u ) ⊂ Sθ (A, ϕk , ∆u ). (ii) If ϕ ∼ ψ and ϕk and ψk satisfy the ∆2 -condition for large v and for 0 m all k then Sθ0 (A, ψk , ∆m u ) = Sθ (A, ϕk , ∆u ). Sθ0 Proof.

Thus the condition the condition ank ψk (|∆m u xk |) ≥ ε implies ∞ P k=1 k=1 ank ϕk (|∆m u xk |) ≥ ε and in consequence we get r m Kθr ((A, ϕk , ∆m u ) , ε) ⊂ Kθ ((A, ψk , ∆u ) , ε) and lim r 1 1 µ (Kθr ((A, ϕk , ∆m µ (Kθr ((A, ψk , ∆m u ) , ε)) ≤ lim u ) , ε)) . r hr hr This completes the proof. m 0 (ii) The identity Sθ0 (A, ψk , ∆m u ) = Sθ (A, ϕk , ∆u ) is proved by using the same argument.
