The Fréchet spaces \(ces(p+)\), \(1<p<\infty\) (Q1682110)

For \( 1 < p < \infty \), the space \( \text{ces}(p) \) consists of all sequences \( (x_n)_n \) of complex numbers for which the sequence of Cesàro means \( (\frac1n \sum_{j=1}^n x_j)_n \) lies in \( \ell^p \). The subject of the present paper are the Fréchet spaces \( \text{ces}(p+) \), \( 1 \leq p < \infty \), which are the projective limits of the \( \text{ces}(q) \) with \( q > p \). The main result is that all these \( \text{ces}(p+) \) are isomorphic to the same power series space of finite type. The spaces \( \text{ces}(p+) \) are compared to the spaces \( \ell_{p+} \), which were defined as the projective limit of all \( \ell_q \), \( q > p \), in [\textit{J. C. Díaz}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 96, 721 (1986; Zbl 0592.46001)]. It is shown that no \( \ell_{p+} \) is isomorphic to a \( \text{ces}(p+) \) and that the \( \ell_{p+} \) are mutually non-isomorphic.
