Strong \(A\)-summability and \(A\)-statistical convergence (Q1917741)

Let \(A= (a_{nk})\) be a nonnegative regular matrix summability method. A sequence \(x= (x_k)\) is said to be strongly \(A\)-summable (to \(L\), say) if \[ \lim_{n\to \infty} \sum^\infty_{k= 1} a_{nk} |x_k- L|= 0. \] Let \(F: [0, \infty)\to [0, \infty)\) be an Orlich function. A sequence \(x\) is strongly \(A\)-summable with respect to \(F\) if \[ \lim_{n\to \infty} \sum^\infty_{k= 1} a_{nk} F(|x_k- L|)= 0. \] Finally, \(x\) is said to be \(A\)-statistically convergent to \(L\) if the characteristic function \(c= (c_k)\) of the set \(\{n\in \mathbb{N}: |x_n- L|\geq \varepsilon\}\) satisfies \[ \lim_{n\to \infty} \sum^\infty_{k= 1} a_{nk} |c_k|= 0\quad \text{for each } \varepsilon> 0. \] The author proves essentially that strong \(A\)-summability, \(A\)-statistical convergence, and \(A\)-summability with respect to an Orlich function \(F\) which satisfies \(F(2x)\leq kF(x)\) (\(x\geq 0\), \(k> 0\) constant), are equivalent on the set of bounded sequences. When the convexity of \(F\) (which is an Orlich function) is replaced by its subadditivity, strong \(A\)-summability has been studied by \textit{J. Connor} [Can. Math. Bull. 32, No. 2, 194-198 (1989; Zbl 0693.40007)] and \textit{E. Kolk} [Acta Comment. Univ. Tartuensis 928, 41-52 (1991)].
