We define the sets Wτ = (w∞P )τ and Wτ0 = (w0 )τ , where w∞ is the set of all sequences such that supn (n−1 P nm=1 |xm |) < ∞, and w0 is the set of all sequences such that limn→∞ (n−1 nm=1 |xm |) = 0. Then we explicitly calculate the spectra σ (∆, Wτ ) and σ (∆, Wτ0 ) of the operator of the first difference on each of the sets Wτ and Wτ0 . We then determinethe sets (E, mapping E to F , with F ) of allmatrix transformations h h E = Wτ (∆ − λI) , or Wτ0 (∆ − λI) and F = sξ , or s0ξ for complex numbers λ and h and obtain simplifications of these sets for some values of λ. Keywords: spectrum of an operator, operator of the first difference, matrix transformations, sets of strongly C1 summable to zero and bounded sequences. 1 Introduction In this paper we consider spaces that generalize the well known sets w0 and w∞ introduced and studied by Maddox [15]. Recall that w0 and w∞ are the sets of strongly C1 summable to zero and bounded sequences. In [19] Malkowsky and 8 Bruno de Malafosse Rakočević gave characterizations of matrix maps between w0 , w, or w∞ and p w∞ and between w0 , w, or w∞ and l1 . In [11, 4] were defined the spaces wα (λ), (c) wα (λ) and wα0 (λ) of all sequences that are α−strongly bounded, summable and summable to zero respectively. For instance recall that wα (λ) is the set of all sequences (xn )n such that n 1 X |xk | = αn O (1) (n → ∞) . λn k=1 (c) It was shown that these spaces can be written in the form sξ , sξ and s0ξ under (c) some conditions on α and λ, where sξ , sξ and s0ξ were defined for positive sequences ξ by (1/ξ)−1 ∗ χ and χ = `∞ , c, c0 , respectively, (cf. [4]). More recently in [18] it was shown that if λ is a sequence exponentially bounded then (w∞ (λ) , w∞ (λ)) is a Banach algebra. This result led to consider bijective operators mapping w∞ (λ) into itself. In [8] de Malafosse and Malkowsky gave among other things properties of the spectrum of the matrix of weighted means N q considered as operator in the set sa . In [12] were given simplifications of the set s0α (∆ − λI)h + (c) sβ (∆ − µI)l where h, l are complex numbers, α, β are given sequences, using spectral properties of the operator of the first difference in the sets s0α and (c) sβ , then characterizations of matrix transformations in this set were stated. Here we deal with the spectrum of the operator of the first difference over 0 the spaces Wτ = Dτ w∞ and matrix trans Wτ = Dτ w0 , and we characterize h h formations in the sets Wτ (∆ − λI) and Wτ0 (∆ − λI) . We then obtain simplifications for these sets under some conditions on λ, h and on the sequence τ. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we recall some results on matrix transformations and define the sets w0 and w∞ of strongly C1 summable to zero and bounded sequences. In Section 3 we give some properties of the sets Wτ and Wτ0 . In Section 4 we deal with the spectra of the operator of the first difference on Wτ and Wτ0 . In Section 5 we determine the sets (E, F) h of matrix transformations mapping E to F , with E = Wτ (∆ − λI) , or h 0 Wτ (∆ − λI) and F = sξ , or s0ξ , for complex numbers λ and h and obtain simplifications for these sets for some values of λ. 2 Preliminaries and Well Known Results For a given infinite matrix AP = (anm )n,m≥1 we define the operators An for any integer n ≥ 1, by An (x) = ∞ m=1 anm xm , where x = (xn )n≥1 and the series On the Spectra of the Operator of the First... 9 are assumed to be convergent. So we are led to the study of the infinite linear system An (x) = bn with n = 1, 2, ... where b = (bn )n≥1 is a one-column matrix and x is the unknown, see for instance [4-8]. The equations An (x) = bn for n = 1, 2, ... can be written in the form Ax = b, where Ax = (An (x))n≥1 . Let E and F be two sets of sequences, then (E, F ) denotes the set of all operators mapping E to F , [15]. We write s for the set of all complex sequences, `∞ and c0 for the sets of all bounded and null sequences. It is well known that A ∈ (`∞ , `∞ ) if and only if sup n ∞ X |anm | < ∞; (1) m=1 and A ∈ (c0 , c0 ) if and only if (1) holds and limn→∞ anm = 0 for all m ≥ 1. A Banach space E of complex sequences with the norm kkE is a BK space if each projection Pn : x 7→ Pn x = xn is continuous. We will write e = (1, ..., 1, ...), and define by e(m) the sequence with 1 in the m − th position and 0 otherwise. A BK space E ⊂ s is said to have every sequence x = P AK if(m) x e . The set B (E) of (xm )m≥1 ∈ E has a unique representation x = ∞ m=1 m ∗ all operators L : E −→ E with the norm kLkB(E) = supx6=0 (kL (x)kE / kxkE ) is a Banach algebra and it is well known that if E is a BK space with AK, then B (E) = (E, E). In all what follows we will use the set U + of all sequences (un )n≥1 with un > 0 for all n. For any given sequence τ = (τn )n≥1 ∈ U + , we write Dτ for the infinite diagonal matrix defined by [Dτ ]nn = τn . For any subset E of s, Dτ E is the set of all sequences x = (xn )n such that (xn /τn )n≥1 ∈ E. (c) Note that have Dτ E = Eτ . Then we put Dτ c0 = s0τ , Dτ `∞ = sτ and Dτ c = sτ . (c) It is well known that each of the spaces s0τ , sτ and sτ is a BK space normed by kxksτ = supn (|xn | /τn ), (cf. [6]). Recall the next elementary and useful result. Lemma 1 Let τ , ξ ∈ U + , and E, F ⊂ ω. Then A ∈ (Dτ E, Dξ F ) if and only if D1/b ADξ ∈ (E, F ). For λ = (λn )n≥1 ∈ U + define the triangle C (λ) by [C (λ)]nm = 1/λn for m ≤ n. It can be easily shown that the matrix ∆ (λ) defined by if m = n, λn −λn−1 if m = n − 1 and n ≥ 2, [∆ (λ)]nm = 0 otherwise, is the of C (λ). Using the notation |x| = (|xn |)n , we have [C (λ) |x|]n = Pinverse n −1 λn m=1 |xm |. In this way we consider the spaces of strongly bounded and summable sequences w∞ (λ) and w0 (λ) defined by w∞ (λ) = x = (xn )n≥1 ∈ s : C (λ) |x| ∈ `∞ , w0 (λ) = {x ∈ s : C (λ) |x| ∈ c0 } . 10 Bruno de Malafosse These spaces were studied by Malkowsky, with the concept of exponentially bounded sequences, see for instance [19]. Recall that Maddox [16] defined and studied the previous sets where λn = n for all n and it is written w∞ (λ) = w∞ and w0 (λ) = w0 . 3 The Sets Wτ and Wτ0 In this section we state some results on the sets Wτ = Dτ w∞ and Wτ0 = Dτ w0 and deal with triangles ∆ρ and ∆Tρ mapping from Wτ to itself. 3.1 Some Properties of the Sets Wτ and Wτ0 Here we consider the sets Wτ = Dτ w∞ and Wτ0 = Dτ w0 , (see [17, 9]), which can be written as ! ) ( n 1 X |xm | <∞ Wτ = x ∈ s : kxkWτ = sup n m=1 τm n and ( Wτ0 = x ∈ s : lim n→∞ n 1 X |xm | n m=1 τm ! ) =0 . For τ ∈ U + it was shown in [9] that the sets Wτ and Wτ0 are BK spaces normed by kkWτ and Wτ0 has AK, [9, Proposition 3.1, p. 54]. So We = w∞ and We0 = w0 . It was shown in [18, 7] that the class (w∞, w∞ ) is a Banach algebra normed by kAk∗(w∞ ,w∞ ) = supx6=0 kAxkw∞ / kxkw∞ . In the following we will write Dr = D(rn )n for any given r > 0, and define the sets ( Wr = Dr w∞ = x : sup n and n 1 X |xm | n m=1 rm ! ) <∞ ( Wr0 = Dr w0 = ) n 1 X |xm | x : lim =0 . m n→∞ n r m=1 Note that we have W1 = w∞ and W10 = w0 . 3.2 On the Operators ∆ρ and ∆+ ρ Considered as Maps in Wτ and Wτ0 On the operators ∆ρ and ∆+ ρ considered as operators in Wτ . In all what follows we use the convention x0 = 0. For given ρ = (ρn )n≥1 we will consider On the Spectra of the Operator of the First... 11 the operator ∆ρ defined by [∆ρ x]n = xn −ρn−1 xn−1 for all n ≥ 1. Then putting + T ∆+ ρ = (∆ρ ) we obtain ∆ρ x n = xn − ρn xn+1 for all n ≥ 1. To state the next Lemma we will put for τ ∈ U + and any integer k ρ− n (τ ) = ρn τn−1 τn+1 and ρ+ for all n. n (τ ) = ρn τn τn Now recall the next lemma which is a direct consequence of [9, Proposition 3.3, pp. 56-57] Lemma 2 Let ρ, τ ∈ U + . i) Let χ be any of the symbols W or W 0 . a) If ρ− (τ ) ∈ `∞ , then ∆ρ ∈ (χτ , χτ ) and k∆ρ k∗(Wτ ,Wτ ) ≤ 1 + ρ− (τ )l∞ . b) If limn→∞ |ρ− n (τ )| < 1, then the operator ∆ρ is a bijection from χτ to itself and χτ (∆ρ ) = χτ . ii) a) If ρ+ (τ ) ∈ `∞ , then ∆+ ρ ∈ (Wτ , Wτ ) and + ∗ ∆ρ (W τ ,Wτ ) ≤ 1 + 2 ρ+ (τ )l∞ . + b) If limn→∞ |ρ+ n (τ )| < 1, then the operator ∆ρ is a bijection from Wτ to itself. Remark 3 The proof of i) b) for χ = W 0 comes from the fact that Wτ0 is a BK space with AK which implies B (Wτ0 ) = (Wτ0 , Wτ0 ) is a Banach algebra. 4 On the Spectra of the Operator of the First Difference on Wτ0 and Wτ In this section we deal with the spectra of the operator of the first difference ∆ defined by ∆xn = ∆e xn = xn − xn−1 for all n, considered as an operator from Wτ0 to itself and from Wτ to itself. Let E be a BK space and A be an operator mapping E to itself, (note that A is continuous since E is a BK space). We denote by σ (A, E) the set of all complex numbers λ such that A − λI considered as an operator from E to itself is not invertible. Then we write ρ (A, E) = [σ (A, E)]c for the resolvent set, which is the set of all complex numbers λ such that λI − A considered as an operator from E to itself is bijective. Recall that the resolvent set of a linear operator on E is an open subset of the complex plane C. We use the 12 Bruno de Malafosse notation D (λ0 , r) = {λ ∈ C : |λ − λ0 | ≤ r} for λ0 ∈ C and r > 0. Recently the fine spectra of the operator of the first difference over the sequence spaces `p and bvp , were studied in [1], where bvp is the space of p-bounded variation sequences, with 1 ≤ p < ∞. In [2] there is a study on the fine spectrum of the generalized difference operator B (r, s) on each of the sets `p and bvp . In [14] there is a study of the spectrum of the operator of the first difference on the (c) sets sα , s0α , sα and `p (α) (1 ≤ p < ∞). In [13], among other things there is a study of the spectrum of the operator B (r, s) on the sets sα and s0α . In the following we deal with the spectra of ∆ in the sets Wτ and Wτ0 . For this we need the next lemmas. Lemma 4 Let u be a sequence with un 6= 0 for all n, and assume (un /un−1 )n ∈ c. We have un ≤ 1. u ∈ `∞ implies lim n→∞ un−1 Proof. Assume limn→∞ |un /un−1 | = L > 1. Then for 0 < ε < L − 1, there is an integer N such that un un−1 ≥ L − ε > 1 for all n ≥ N . So we obtain un un−1 uN ... |uN −1 | ≥ (L − ε)n−N +1 |uN −1 | for all n ≥ N . |un | = un−1 un−2 uN −1 Since (L − ε)n−N +1 → ∞ (n → ∞) we conclude u ∈ / `∞ . Lemma 5 We have (w0 , w0 ) ⊂ c0 , s0(n)n and (w∞ , w∞ ) ⊂ `∞ , s(n)n . (2) Pn −1 Proof. Trivially we have c0 ⊂ w0 , and since |x | /n ≤ n n k=1 |xk | we 0 0 deduce w0 ⊂ s(n) . Thus we have (w0 , w0 ) ⊂ c0 , s(n) . By similar arguments n n we obtain (w∞ , w∞ ) ⊂ `∞ , s(n)n . In the next result we put τ • = (τn−1 /τn )n≥2 . Theorem 6 Let χ be any of the symbols W , or W 0 . Then (i) If τ • ∈ `∞ , then we have σ (∆, χτ ) ⊂ D 1, lim τn• . n→∞ (3) 13 On the Spectra of the Operator of the First... (ii) If τ • ∈ c, then we have σ (∆, χτ ) = D 1, lim τn• . n→∞ . (iii) For any given r > 0, we have σ (∆, χr ) = D (1, 1/r) . 0 Proof. (i) We only consider the case χ = •W ,c the case χ = W can be obtained in a similar way. Let λ ∈ D 1, limn→∞ τn , that is, λ 6= 1 and lim τn• < |λ − 1| . (4) n→∞ Putting ρn = 1/ |λ − 1| for all n we have 1 • − τ ∈ `∞ ρn (τ ) = |λ − 1| n n≥1 and inequality (4) means that limn→∞ |ρ− n (τ )| < 1. By Lemma 2 where ∆ρ = 1 (∆ − λI) 1−λ we deduce ∆ − λI is bijective from Wτ to itself. This shows that ic h D 1, lim τn• ⊂ ρ (∆, Wτ ) n→∞ and (3) in (i) is satisfied for χ = W . This concludes the proof of (i). (ii) Case χ = W 0 . First we show D 1, lim τn• ⊂ σ ∆, Wτ0 ⊂ D 1, lim τn• . n→∞ n→∞ The inclusion σ (∆, Wτ0 ) ⊂ D (1, limn→∞ τn• ) is a direct consequence of (i), since we have τ • ∈ c. Now we show (5) D 1, lim τn• ⊂ σ ∆, Wτ0 . n→∞ Since the inclusion ρ (∆, Wτ0 ) ⊂ [D (1, limn→∞ τn• )]c is equivalent to (5), we will show if λI − ∆ considered as an operator from Wτ0 to itself is invertible, then λ 6= 1 and |λ − 1| ≥ lim τn• . n→∞ −1 We have (λI − ∆) ∈ (Wτ0 , Wτ0 ) if and only if D1/τ (λI − ∆)−1 Dτ ∈ (w0 , w0 ) . 14 Bruno de Malafosse Then by Lemma 5 we have (w0 , w0 ) ⊂ c0 , s0(n) , and n D(1/nτn )n (λI − ∆)−1 Dτ ∈ (c0 , c0 ) . (6) Now it is well known that (λI − ∆)−1 is the triangle defined for λ 6= 1, by (λI − ∆)−1 nm = (−1)n−m for m ≤ n. (λ − 1)n−m+1 We have un = D(1/nτn )n (λI − ∆)−1 Dτ n1 = τ1 for n ≥ 2, nτn |λ − 1|n and by Lemma 4 we obtain un n−1 1 = lim τ • ≤ 1, n→∞ un−1 n→∞ n |λ − 1| n lim and 1 lim τ • ≤ 1. |λ − 1| n→∞ n We conclude o n ρ ∆, Wτ0 ⊂ λ ∈ C : |λ − 1| ≥ lim τn• and λ 6= 1 n→∞ and D 1, lim τn• ⊂ σ ∆, Wτ0 . n→∞ We then have D 1, lim τn• ⊂ σ ∆, Wτ0 ⊂ D 1, lim τn• n→∞ n→∞ and since σ (∆, Wτ0 ) is a closed subset of C, and D (1, limn→∞ τn• ) is the smallest closed set containing D (1, limn→∞ τn• ), we conclude σ (∆, Wτ0 ) = D (1, limn→∞ τn• ) . Case χ = W . The proof follows exactly the same lines that above. It is enough to notice that by Lemma 5, the condition D1/τ (λI − ∆)−1 Dτ ∈ (w∞ , w∞ ) implies D1/τ (λI − ∆)−1 Dτ ∈ `∞ , s(n)n , and D(1/nτn )n (λI − ∆)−1 Dτ ∈ (`∞ , `∞ ) = S1 . This completes the proof of (ii). (iii) is an immediate consequence of (ii) with τn = rn . 15 On the Spectra of the Operator of the First... 5 Matrix Transformations in Wτ0 (∆ − λI) h In this section we recall results on the sets (E, F ) where E is either w0 and w∞ and F = `∞ , or c0 . Then we applythe resultsof Section 4 to determine h 0 0 0 0 the sets (E , F ) where E is either Wτ (∆ − λI) , or Wτ (∆ − λI)h and F 0 = sξ , or s0ξ . 5.1 Matrix Transformations in the Sets w0 and w∞ Here we recall some results that are direct consequence of [3, Theorem 2.4], where it is written ∞ X (an ) = 2ν n≥1 M ν=1 max 2ν ≤m≤2ν+1 −1 |am | . (7) sing the notation An = (anm )m≥1 we obtain the following. Lemma 7 [3] (i) We have (w0 , `∞ ) = (w∞ , `∞ ) and A ∈ (w∞ , `∞ ) if and only if ! ∞ X 2ν ν max |anm | < ∞, (8) sup (kAn kM ) = sup ν+1 n n ν=1 2 ≤m≤2 −1 (ii) A ∈ (w∞ , c0 ) if and only if lim kAn kM = lim n→∞ n→∞ ∞ X ν=1 ! 2ν max 2ν ≤m≤2ν+1 −1 |anm | = 0. (iii) A ∈ (w0 , c0 ) if and only if (8) holds and lim anm = 0 for all m. n→∞ 5.2 Matrix Transformations in the Sets w0 (T ) and w∞ (T ) To state the next result we consider the matrix Σ+ , by [Σ+ ]nm = 1 for m ≥ n and [Σ+ ]nm = 0 otherwise, and from any matrix A = (anm )n,m≥1 we define for any integer i, the triangle W (i) by (i) W nm = Σ+ D(ain )n T −1 nm for m ≤ n. So an elementary calculations yield ∞ X (i) W nm = aik skm for m ≤ n, k=n (9) 16 Bruno de Malafosse where T −1 is the triangle whose nonzero entries are defined by [T −1 ]nm = snm . From [3, Lemma 4.1 and Theorem 4.2], we obtain the following. Lemma 8 Let χ be any of the sets w∞ or w0 and Y be an arbitrary subset of s. Then A ∈ (χ (T ) , Y ) if and only if (i) AT −1 ∈ (χ, Y ), (ii) W (i) ∈ (χ, c0 ) for all i ≥ 1. From (9) and (7) we easily see that for every n ∈ N, there is ν (n) uniquely defined with 2ν(n) ≤ n ≤ 2ν(n)+1 − 1, and for any i ≥ 1 we have ∞ ∞ ν(n)−1 X X X (i) ν(n) ν Wn = aik skm + 2 max aik skm . 2 ν max M ν+1 ν(n) 2 ≤m≤2 −1 2 ≤m≤n ν=0 k=n k=n Now we state the next lemma which isP a direct consequence of Lemma 7 and Lemma 8, where we have [AT −1 ]nm = ∞ k=m ank skm for all n, m.

To simplify we will write −h + k − 1 [−h, k] = . k It is known that (∆ − λI)h with λ 6= 1 is the triangle defined by h i [−h, n − m] (∆ − λI)h = for m ≤ n, nm (1 − λ)−h+n−m see [10, Theorem 8, pp. 295-296]. 5.4 The Sets (E, F ) where E is either h Wτ (∆ − λI) and F = sξ , or s0ξ .

So there is ν (n) uniquely defined with 2ν(n) ≤ n ≤ 2ν(n)+1 − 1, and for any i ≥ 1 we have ν(n)−1 X 1 D1/ξ W (i) Dτ = 1 2ν ν max |χnm (i)| τm + 2ν(n) max |χnm (i)| τm . n M ν+1 2 ≤m≤2 −1 ξn ν=0 ξn 2ν(n) ≤m≤n Applying Lemma 7 with anm replaced by ∞ ank 1 X [h, k − m] τm ξn k=m (1 − λ)h+k−m we obtain (i) a). Then replacing anm by 1 χnm (i) τm for m ≤ n and for i ≥ 1, ξn we obtain (i) b). The statements (i) c) and (i) d) can be shown in the same way. (ii) Since (19) holds, by Theorem / σ (∆, Wτ0 ), and ∆ − λI is 6, we have λ ∈ bijective from Wτ0 to itself and Wτ0 (∆ − λI)h = Wτ0 . Then h 0 A ∈ Wτ (∆ − λI) , sξ = Wτ0 , sξ if and only if D1/ξ ADτ ∈ (w0 , `∞ ), and we conclude applying Lemma 7.
