Generalized Hausdorff and weighted mean matrices as operators on \(\ell_ p\) (Q1310883)

There are two main results. The first theorem gives sufficient conditions for a generalized Hausdorff matrix \(H(\lambda,\alpha)\) to be in \(B(\ell_ p)\), where \(B(\ell_ p)\) denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on \(\ell_ p\), \(1\leq p<\infty\). Let \(\{a_ n\}\) be a sequence of positive numbers, let \(A_ n= \sum^ n_{k=0} a_ k\) and let \(M_ a\) be the weighted mean matrix with weights \(a_ n\). Theorem 2 establishes that \(M_ a\) is in \(B(\ell_ p)\) if and only if \(c<p\), where \(c=\lim_{n\to\infty} A_ n/na_ n\). The authors also give a short proof to show that weighted mean matrices are special generalized Hausdorff matrices.
