The sequence space β(π) was introduced by Maddox (1967). Quite recently, the domain of the generalized difference matrix π΅(π, π ) Μ π) in the sequence space βπ has been investigated by KirisΜ§cΜ§i and BasΜ§ar (2010). In the present paper, the sequence space β(π΅, of nonabsolute type has been studied which is the domain of the generalized difference matrix π΅(Μπ, π Μ) in the sequence space Μ π) have been determined, and the Schauder basis has β(π). Furthermore, the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-duals of the space β(π΅, Μ been given. The classes of matrix transformations from the space β(π΅, π) to the spaces β∞ , c and c0 have been characterized. Μ π) to the Euler, Riesz, difference, Additionally, the characterizations of some other matrix transformations from the space β(π΅, and so forth sequence spaces have been obtained by means of a given lemma. The last section of the paper has been devoted to conclusion. 1. Preliminaries, Background, and Notation By π€, we denote the space of all real valued sequences. Any vector subspace of π€ is called a sequence space. We write β∞ , π, and π0 for the spaces of all bounded, convergent, and null sequences, respectively. Also by ππ , ππ , β1 , and βπ , we denote the spaces of all bounded, convergent, absolutely convergent and π-absolutely convergent series, respectively, where 1 < π < ∞. A linear topological space π over the real field R is said to be a paranormed space if there is a subadditive function π : π → R such that π(π) = 0, π(π₯) = π(−π₯) and scalar multiplication is continuous; that is, |πΌπ − πΌ| → 0 and π(π₯π − π₯) → 0 imply π(πΌπ π₯π − πΌπ₯) → 0 for all πΌ’s in R and all π₯’s in π, where π is the zero vector in the linear space π. Assume here and after that (ππ ) is a bounded sequence of strictly positive real numbers with sup ππ = π» and π = max{1, π»}. Then, the linear spaces β(π) were defined by Maddox [1] (see also Simons [2] and Nakano [3]) as follows: σ΅¨ σ΅¨π β (π) = {π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ π€ : ∑σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π < ∞} , π (1) (0 < ππ ≤ π» < ∞) which is the complete space paranormed by 1/π σ΅¨ σ΅¨π π (π₯) = (∑σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π ) . (2) π For simplicity in notation, here and in what follows, the summation without limits runs from 0 to ∞. We assume −1 throughout that ππ−1 + (ππσΈ ) = 1 and denote the collection of all finite subsets of N = {0, 1, 2, . . .} by F and use the convention that any term with negative subscript is equal to naught. Let π, π be any two sequence spaces and let π΄ = (πππ ) be an infinite matrix of real or complex numbers πππ , 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis where π, π ∈ N. Then, we say that π΄ defines a matrix mapping from π into π, and we denote it by writing π΄ : π → π; if for every sequence π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ π the sequence π΄π₯ = {(π΄π₯)π }, the π΄-transform of π₯, is in π, where (π΄π₯)π = ∑πππ π₯π , for each π ∈ N. π (3) By (π : π), we denote the class of all matrices π΄ such that π΄ : π → π. Thus, π΄ ∈ (π : π) if and only if the series on the right side of (3) converges for each π ∈ N and every π₯ ∈ π, and we have π΄π₯ = {(π΄π₯)π }π∈N ∈ π for all π₯ ∈ π. A sequence π₯ is said to be π΄-summable to πΌ if π΄π₯ converges to πΌ which is called the π΄-limit of π₯. The shift operator π is defined on π by (ππ₯)π = π₯π+1 for all π ∈ N. A Banach limit πΏ is defined on β∞ , as a nonnegative linear functional, such that πΏ(ππ₯) = πΏ(π₯) and πΏ(π) = 1, where π = (1, 1, 1, . . .). A sequence π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ β∞ is said to be almost convergent to the generalized limit π if all Banach limits of π₯ are π and is denoted by π − lim π₯π = π. Lorentz [4] proved that π − lim π₯π = π 1 π ∑ π₯π+π = π uniformly in π. π→∞π + 1 π=0 iff lim (4) It is well known that a convergent sequence is almost convergent such that its ordinary and generalized limits are equal. By π, we denote the space of all almost convergent sequences; that is, π := π π₯π+π = π uniformly in π}. π +1 π=0 (5) {π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ π : ∃π ∈ C ∋ lim ∑ π→∞ Define the double sequential band matrix π΅(Μπ, π Μ) = {πππ (ππ , π π )} by π, { {π πππ (ππ , π π ) = {π π , { {0, π = π, π = π − 1, otherwise (6) for all π, π ∈ N, where πΜ = (ππ ) and π Μ = (π π ) are the convergent sequences. We should note that the double sequential band matrices were firstly used by Srivastava and Kumar [5, 6], Panigrahi and Srivastava [7], and Akhmedov and El-Shabrawy [8]. The main purpose of this paper, which is a continuation of KirisΜ§cΜ§i and BasΜ§ar [9], is to introduce the sequence space Μ π) of nonabsolute type consisting of all sequences whose β(π΅, π΅(Μπ, π Μ)-transforms are in the space β(π). Furthermore, the basis is constructed and the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-duals Μ π). Moreover, the matrix are computed for the space β(π΅, Μ π) to some sequence transformations from the space β(π΅, spaces are characterized. Finally, we note open problems and further suggestions. It is clear that Δ(1) can be obtained as a special case of π΅(Μπ, π Μ) for πΜ = π and π Μ = −π and it is also trivial that π΅(Μπ, π Μ) is reduced in the special case πΜ = ππ and π Μ = π π to the generalized difference matrix π΅(π, π ). So, the results related to the matrix domain of the matrix π΅(Μπ, π Μ) are more general and more comprehensive than the corresponding consequences of the matrix domains of Δ(1) and π΅(π, π ). The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, Μ π) is defined and proved that the linear sequence space β(π΅, it is a complete paranormed space with a Schauder basis. Section 3 is devoted to the determination of alpha-, beta-, Μ π). In Section 4, the and gamma-duals of the space β(π΅, Μ π) : π), (β(π΅, Μ π) : π), Μ π) : β∞ ), (β(π΅, classes (β(π΅, Μ π) : π0 ) of infinite matrices are characterized. and (β(π΅, Additionally, the characterizations of some other classes of Μ π) to the Euler, matrix transformations from the space β(π΅, Riesz, difference, and so forth sequence spaces are obtained by means of a given lemma. In the final section of the paper, open problems and further suggestions are noted. Μ of 2. The Sequence Space β(π΅,π) Nonabsolute Type In this section, we introduce the complete paranormed linear Μ π). sequence space β(π΅, The matrix domain π π΄ of an infinite matrix π΄ in a sequence space π is defined by π π΄ = {π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ π : π΄π₯ ∈ π} . (7) Choudhary and Mishra [10] defined the sequence space β(π) which consists of all sequences such that π-transforms of them are in the space β(π), where π = (π ππ ) is defined by 1, π ππ = { 0, 0 ≤ π ≤ π, π > π, (8) for all π, π ∈ N. BasΜ§ar and Altay [11] have recently examined the space ππ (π) which is formerly defined by BasΜ§ar in [12] as the set of all series whose sequences of partial sums are in β∞ (π). More recently, AydΔ±n and BasΜ§ar [13] have studied the space ππ (π’, π) which is the domain of the matrix π΄π in the sequence space β(π), where the matrix π΄π = {πππ (π)} is defined by π { 1 + π π’ , 0 ≤ π ≤ π, πππ (π) = { π + 1 π π > π, {0, (9) for all π, π ∈ N, (π’π ) such that π’π =ΜΈ 0 for all π ∈ N and 0 < π < 1. Altay and BasΜ§ar [14] have studied the sequence space ππ‘ (π) which is derived from the sequence space β(π) of Maddox by the Riesz means π π‘ . With the notation of (7), the spaces β(π), ππ (π), ππ (π’, π), and ππ‘ (π) can be redefined by β (π) = [β (π)]π , ππ (π’, π) = [β (π)]π΄π , ππ (π) = [β∞ (π)]π , ππ‘ (π) = [β (π)]π π‘ . (10) Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 Following Choudhary and Mishra [10], BasΜ§ar and Altay [11], Altay and BasΜ§ar [14–17], and AydΔ±n and BasΜ§ar [13, 18], Μ π) as the set of all we introduce the sequence space β(π΅, sequences whose π΅(Μπ, π Μ)-transforms are in the space β(π); that is Μ π) := {(π₯π ) ∈ π€ : ∑σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ππ < ∞} , β (π΅, σ΅¨ σ΅¨ (11) (0 < ππ ≤ π» < ∞) . It is trivial that in the case ππ = π for all π ∈ N, the sequence Μ π) is reduced to the sequence space βΜπ which is space β(π΅, introduced by KirisΜ§cΜ§i and BasΜ§ar [9]. With the notation of (7), Μ π) as follows: we can redefine the space β(π΅, Μ π) := [β (π)] β (π΅, π΅(Μπ,Μπ ) . (12) Define the sequence π¦ = (π¦π ), which will be frequently used, as the π΅(Μπ, π Μ)-transform of a sequence π₯ = (π₯π ); that is, ∀π ∈ N. (13) Μ π) are linearly isomorphic by Since the spaces β(π) and β(π΅, Μ π) if Corollary 4, one can easily observe that π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ β(π΅, and only if π¦ = (π¦π ) ∈ β(π), where the sequences π₯ = (π₯π ) and π¦ = (π¦π ) are connected with the relation (13). Now, we may begin with the following theorem which is essential in the text. Μ π) is a complete linear metric space paraTheorem 1. β(π΅, normed by the paranorm 1/π σ΅¨ σ΅¨π β (π₯) = (∑σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π ) β (π π π₯(π) − ππ₯) ≤ β [(π π − π) (π₯(π) − π₯)] + β [π (π₯(π) − π₯)] π π¦π = {π΅ (Μπ, π Μ) π₯}π = ππ π₯π + π π−1 π₯π−1 , Let (π π ) be a sequence of scalars with π π → π, as π → ∞ Μ π) ∞, and let (π₯(π) )π=0 be a sequence of elements π₯(π) ∈ β(π΅, with β(π₯(π) − π₯) → 0, as π → ∞. We observe that . (14) π Μ π) is linear with Proof. It is easy to see that the space β(π΅, respect to the coordinate-wise addition and scalar multiplication. Therefore, we first show that it is a paranormed space with the paranorm β defined by (14). It is clear that β(π) = 0 where π = (0, 0, 0, . . .) and β(π₯) = Μ π). β(−π₯) for all π₯ ∈ β(π΅, Μ Let π₯, π¦ ∈ β(π΅, π); then by Minkowski’s inequality we have + β [(π π − π) π₯] . It follows from π π → π (π → ∞) that |π π − π| < 1 for all sufficiently large π; hence lim β [(π π − π) (π₯(π) − π₯)] ≤ lim β (π₯(π) − π₯) = 0.

This shows that β is a paranorm on Μ π). β(π΅, Furthermore, if β(π₯) = 0, then (∑π |π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π |ππ )1/π = 0. Therefore |π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π |ππ = 0 for each π ∈ N. If we put π = 0, since π −1 = 0 and π0 =ΜΈ 0, we have π₯0 = 0. For π = 1, since π₯0 = 0 we have π₯1 = 0. Continuing in this way, we obtain π₯π = 0 for all π ∈ N. That is, π₯ = π. This shows that β is a total paranorm. Μ π) is complete. Let {π₯π } be any Now, we show that β(π΅, Μ Cauchy sequence in β(π΅, π) where π₯π = {π₯0(π) , π₯1(π) ,π₯2(π) , . . .}. Here and after, for short we write π΅Μ instead of π΅(Μπ, π Μ). Then for a given π > 0, there exists a positive integer π0 (π) such that β(π₯π − π₯π ) < π for all π, π > π0 (π).

Since β(π΅, Μ π) is a linear space, This shows us π₯π − π₯ ∈ β(π΅, Μ we conclude that π₯ ∈ β(π΅, π); It follows that π₯π → π₯, as π → Μ π), thus we have shown that β(π΅, Μ π) is complete. ∞ in β(π΅, Therefore, one can easily check that the absolute property Μ π); that is, π1 (π₯) =ΜΈ π1 (|π₯|), does not hold on the space β(π΅, Μ π) is the sequence space where |π₯| = (|π₯π |). This says that β(π΅, of nonabsolute type. Μ π) is stronger than coorTheorem 2. Convergence in β(π΅, dinate-wise convergence. Proof.

For each π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ β(π΅, π π₯β¨πβ© = ∑ π₯π π(π) , (26) Μ π) be given. Then, there is π = π(π) ∈ Let π > 0 and π₯ ∈ β(π΅, N such that ∞ σ΅¨ σ΅¨π ∑ σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π < ππ. = 0. (27) π=π Hence, we have for π = 0 that σ΅¨ σ΅¨ lim σ΅¨σ΅¨π π₯(π) + π0 π₯0(π) − π −1 π₯−1 − π0 π₯0 σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ = 0, π → ∞ σ΅¨σ΅¨ −1 −1 Then we have for all π ≥ π, (24) π β (π₯ − π₯β¨πβ© ) = β (π₯ − ∑ π₯π π(π) ) π=1 which gives the fact that |π₯0(π) − π₯0 | → 0, as π → ∞. Similarly, for each π ∈ N, we have |π₯π(π) − π₯π | → 0, as π → ∞. A sequence space π with a linear topology is called a πΎ-space provided each of the maps ππ : π → C defined by ππ (π₯) = π₯π is continuous for all π ∈ N, where C denotes the complex field. A πΎ-space π is called an πΉπΎ-space provided π is complete linear metric space. An πΉπΎ-space whose topology is normable is called a π΅πΎ-space. Given a π΅πΎ-space π ⊃ π, we denote the πth section of a sequence π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ π by π₯[π] := ∑ππ=0 π₯π π(π) , and we say that π₯ = (π₯π ) has the property π΄πΎ if limπ → ∞ β π₯ − π₯[π] βπ = 0. If π΄πΎ property holds for every π₯ ∈ π, then we say that the space π is called π΄πΎ-space (cf. [19]). Now, we may give the following. Theorem 3. (βπ )π΅Μ is the linear space under the coordinatewise addition and scalar multiplication which is the π΅πΎ-space with the norm σ΅¨ σ΅¨π βπ₯β := (∑σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ ) ∀π ∈ {1, 2, . . .} . π=0 σ΅¨ σ΅¨ππ (π) ≤ lim ∑σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π(π) − π π−1 π₯π−1 − ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ (23) π→∞ = lim [β (π₯π − π₯)] Let us suppose that 1 < ππ ≤ π π for all π ∈ N. Then, it is known that β(π) ⊂ β(π ) which leads us to the immediate Μ π) ⊂ β(π΅, Μ π ). consequence that β(π΅, With the notation of (13), define the transformation π Μ π) to β(π) by π₯ σ³¨→ π¦ = ππ₯. Since π is linear and from β(π΅, bijection, we have the following. 1/π ∞ σ΅¨ σ΅¨π = ( ∑ σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π ) (28) π=π+1 ∞ σ΅¨ σ΅¨π ≤ ( ∑ σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π ) 1/π < π. π=π This shows that π₯ = ∑π π₯π π(π) . Now we have to show that this representation is unique. We assume that π₯ = ∑π π π π(π) . Then for each π, σ΅¨ σ΅¨π 1/π (σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π π−1 + ππ π π − π π−1 π₯π−1 − ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π ) 1/π σ΅¨ σ΅¨π ≤ (∑σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π π−1 π π−1 + ππ π π − π π−1 π₯π−1 − ππ π₯π σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π ) π = β (π₯ − π₯) = 0. (29) 1/π , where 1 ≤ π < ∞. π (25) Proof. Because the first part of the theorem is a routine verification, we omit the detail. Since βπ is the π΅πΎ-space with respect to its usual norm (see [20, pages 217-218]) and π΅(Μπ, π Μ) is a normal matrix, Theorem 4.3.2 of Wilansky [21, page 61] gives the fact that (βπ )π΅Μ is the π΅πΎ-space, where 1 ≤ π < ∞. Hence, π π−1 π π−1 + ππ π π = π π−1 π₯π−1 + ππ π₯π for each π. For π = 0, π0 π 0 = π0 π₯0 . Since π0 =ΜΈ 0, we have π 0 = π₯0 . For π = 1, π 0 π 0 + π1 π 1 = π 0 π₯0 + π1 π₯1 . Since π1 =ΜΈ 0, we also have π 1 = π₯1 . Continuing in this way, we obtain π π = π₯π for each π. Therefore, the representation is unique. We firstly define the concept of the Schauder basis for a paranormed sequence space and next give the basis of the Μ π). sequence space β(π΅, Abstract and Applied Analysis 5 Let (π, π) be a paranormed space. A sequence (ππ ) of the elements of π is called a basis for π if and only if, for each π₯ ∈ π, there exists a unique sequence (πΌπ ) of scalars such that (i) Let 0 < ππ ≤ 1 for all π ∈ N. Then, π΄ ∈ (β(π) : β∞ ) if and only if σ΅¨ σ΅¨π sup σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨πππ σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π < ∞. π,π∈N (34) π lim π (π₯ − ∑ πΌπ ππ ) = 0. π→∞ (30) π=0 The series ∑π πΌπ ππ which has the sum π₯ is then called the expansion of π₯ with respect to (ππ ) and written as π₯ = ∑π πΌπ ππ . Since it is known that the matrix domain π π΄ of a sequence space π has a basis if and only if π has a basis whenever π΄ = (πππ ) is a triangle (cf. [22, Remark 2.4]), we have the following. Μ π for all Corollary 6. Let 0 < ππ ≤ π» < ∞ and πΌπ = (π΅π₯) π ∈ N.

Then, the sequence {π(π) }k∈N given by (31) Μ π) and any π₯ ∈ β(π΅, Μ π) has a unique is a basis for the space β(π΅, (π) representation of the form π₯ := ∑π πΌπ π . 3. The Alpha-, Beta-, and Gamma-Duals of Μ the Space β(π΅,π) In this section, we state and prove the theorems determining the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-duals of the sequence space Μ π) of nonabsolute type. β(π΅, For the sequence spaces π and π, the set π(π, π) defined by π (π, π) := {π§ = (π§π ) ∈ π : π₯π§ = (π₯π π§π ) ∈ π ∀π₯ = (π₯π ) ∈ π} (32) is called the multiplier space of the spaces π and π. With the notation of (32), the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-duals of a sequence space π, which are, respectively, denoted by ππΌ , ππ½ , and ππΎ , are defined by ππΌ := π (π, β1 ) , ππ½ := π (π, ππ ) , ππΎ := π (π, ππ ) . (33) Since the case 0 < ππ ≤ 1 may be established in similar way to the proof of the case 1 < ππ ≤ π» < ∞, we omit the detail of that case and give the proof only for the case 1 < ππ ≤ π» < ∞ in Theorems 10–12 below. We begin with quoting three lemmas which are needed in proving Theorems 10–12. Lemma 7 ([23, (i) and (ii) of Theorem 1]). Let π΄ = (πππ ) be an infinite matrix. Then, the following statements hold.

Besides, we have from (54) that the matrix π΅ = (πππ ) defined by π−1 π−π πππ = ∑∞ π=π ((−1) /ππ )∏π=π (π π /ππ )πππ for all π, π ∈ N, is in the class (β(π) : β∞ ). Then, π΅ satisfies the condition (35) which is equivalent to (50). This completes the proof. Lemma 14 ([25, Theorem 1]). π΄ = (πππ ) ∈ (β(π) : π) if and only if (34) and (35) hold, and ∃πΌπ ∈ C ∋ π − lim πππ = πΌπ (60) Μ π) : π) and take π₯ ∈ β(π΅, Μ π). Proof.

(54) Now, by combining (54) with the following inequality (see [23]) which holds for any π > 0 and any π, π ∈ C for every fixed π ∈ N. (57) Theorem 15. Let the entries of the matrices πΈ = (πππ ) and πΉ = (πππ ) be connected with the relation πππ := π π−1 ππ,π−1 + ππ πππ πΉπ ∈ (β (π) : π) (53) (−1)π π−1 π π or πππ := ∑ ∏ π ππ π=π ππ ππ π=π ∞ (58) for all π, π ∈ N. Since πΈπ₯ exists, πΉπ ∈ (β(π) : π). Letting π → ∞ in the equality (61) we have πΈπ₯ = πΉπ¦. Since πΈπ₯ ∈ π, then πΉπ¦ ∈ π. That is πΉ ∈ (β(π) : π).

So, (β(π) : π) we have (πππ )π∈N ∈ {β(π΅, πΈπ₯ exists. Therefore we obtain from equality (61) as π → ∞ Μ π) : π). that πΈπ₯ = πΉπ¦, that is πΈ ∈ (β(π΅, Theorem 16. Let 0 < ππ ≤ π» < ∞ for all π ∈ N.

Let π΄ ∈ (β(π΅, π ∈ N. Then, since the inclusion π ⊂ β∞ holds, the necessities of (50) and (51) are immediately obtained from part (i) of Theorem 13. To prove the necessity of (62), consider the sequence π(π) Μ π) for every fixed defined by (31) which is in the space β(π΅, Μ π) exists π ∈ N. Because the π΄-transform of every π₯ ∈ β(π΅, and is in π by the hypothesis, { ∞ (−1)π−π π−1 π π } π΄π(π) = {∑ ∈π ∏ π ππ π=π ππ ππ } π=π }π∈N { for every fixed π ∈ N which shows the necessity of (62).

Indeed, combining Lemma 18 with Theorems 13, 15, and 16 and Corollary 17, one can derive the following results. (67) Μ π) and Equation (67) means that π΄π₯ ∈ π whenever π₯ ∈ β(π΅, this is what we wished to prove. Therefore, we have the following Corollary 17. Let 0 < ππ ≤ π» < ∞ for all π ∈ N. Then, Μ π) : π0 ) if and only if (50)–(52) hold, and (62) also π΄ ∈ (β(π΅, holds with πΌπ = 0 for all π ∈ N. Now, we give the following lemma given by BasΜ§ar and Altay [26] which is useful for deriving the characterizations of the certain matrix classes via Theorems 13, 15, and 16 and Corollary 17. Lemma 18 ([26, Lemma 5.3]). Let π, π be any two sequence spaces, let π΄ be an infinite matrix, and let π΅ also be a triangle matrix. Then, π΄ ∈ (π : ππ΅ ) if and only if π΅π΄ ∈ (π : π).

Corollary 25. Let π΄ = (πππ ) be an infinite matrix and define the matrix πΆ = (πππ ) by πππ = ∑ππ=0 πππ for all π, π ∈ N. Then the necessary and sufficient conditions in order to π΄ belongs to Μ π) : ππ ), (β(π΅, Μ π) : ππ ) and (β(π΅, Μ π) : anyone of the classes (β(π΅, ππ 0 ) are obtained from the respective ones in Theorems 13, 16 and Corollary 17 by replacing the entries of the matrix π΄ by those of the matrix πΆ, where ππ 0 denotes the set of those series converging to zero. 5. Conclusion The difference spaces β∞ (Δ), π(Δ), and π0 (Δ) were introduced by KΔ±zmaz [35]. Since we essentially employ the infinite matrices which is more different than KΔ±zmaz and the other authors following him, and use the technique of obtaining a new sequence space by the matrix domain of a triangle limitation method. Following this way, the domain of some triangle matrices in the sequence space β(π) was recently studied and were obtained certain topological and geometric results by Altay and BasΜ§ar [14, 16], Choudhary and Mishra [10], BasΜ§ar et al. [36], and AydΔ±n and BasΜ§ar [13]. Although πV(π, π) = [β(π)]Δ is investigated, since π΅(1, −1) ≡ Δ, our results are more general than those of BasΜ§ar et al. [36]. Also in case ππ = π for all π ∈ N the results of the present study are reduced to the corresponding results of the recent paper of KirisΜ§cΜ§i and BasΜ§ar [9]. We should note that the difference spaces Δπ0 (π), Δπ(π) and Δβ∞ (π) of Maddox’s spaces π0 (π), π(π), and β∞ (π) were studied by Ahmad and Mursaleen [37]. Of course, a natural continuation of the present paper is to study the sequence spaces [π0 (π)]π΅(Μπ,Μπ ) , [π(π)]π΅(Μπ,Μπ ) and [β∞ (π)]π΅(Μπ,Μπ ) to generalize the main results of Ahmad and Mursaleen [37] which fills up a gap in the existing literature. It is clear that Δ(1) can be obtained as a special case of π΅(Μπ, π Μ) for πΜ = π and π Μ = −π and it is also trivial that π΅(Μπ, π Μ) is reduced in the special case πΜ = ππ and π Μ = π π to the generalized difference matrix π΅(π, π ). So, the results related to the domain of the matrix π΅(Μπ, π Μ) are much more general and more comprehensive than the corresponding consequences of the domain of the matrix π΅(π, π ). We should note from now that the main results of the present paper are given as an extended abstract without proof by Nergiz and BasΜ§ar [38], and our next paper will be devoted to some geometric and Μ π). topological properties of the space β(π΅, Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Professor BilaΜl Altay, Department of Mathematical Education, Faculty of Education, IΜnoΜnuΜ University, 44280 Malatya, Turkey, for his careful reading and constructive criticism of an earlier version of this paper which improved the presentation and its readability.
