Density by moduli and lacunary statistical convergence (Q1669280)

Summary: We have introduced and studied a new concept of \(f\)-lacunary statistical convergence, where \(f\) is an unbounded modulus. It is shown that, under certain conditions on a modulus \(f\), the concepts of lacunary strong convergence with respect to a modulus \(f\) and \(f\)-lacunary statistical convergence are equivalent on bounded sequences. We further characterize those \(\theta\) for which \(S_\theta^f = S^f\), where \(S_\theta^f\) and \(S^f\) denote the sets of all \(f\)-lacunary statistically convergent sequences and \(f\)-statistically convergent sequences, respectively. A general description of inclusion between two arbitrary lacunary methods of \(f\)-statistical convergence is given. Finally, we give an \(S_\theta^f\)-analog of the Cauchy criterion for convergence and a Tauberian theorem for \(S_\theta^f\)-convergence is also proved.
