On the statistical convergence of metric-valued sequences (Q2260848)

Let \((X,d)\) be a metric space and let \(\widetilde{X}\) denote the set of all sequences of points from \(X\). A metric-valued sequence \((x_n)\in \widetilde{X}\) is statistically convergent to \(a\in X\) if for every \(\epsilon>0\) \[ \lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{1}{n}\left|\{k:k\leq n, d(x_k,a)\geq \epsilon\}\right|=0 \] is satisfied, where \(|A|\) denotes the number of elements of the set \(A\). In this paper, the authors present some basic properties for statistical convergence on an arbitrary metric space, and they study the conditions for the density of a subsequence of a statistically convergent sequence under which this subsequence is also statistically convergent. Moreover, the authors obtain some sufficient conditions of this type and almost converse necessary conditions in the setting of general metric spaces.
