A note on strong matrix summability via ideals (Q429195)

Ideal convergence is a generalization of statistical convergence, and the concept of statistical convergence is a generalization of the usual notion of convergence that, for real-valued sequences, parallels the usual theory of convergence. For a subset \(M\) of the set of positive integers the asymptotic density of \(M,\) denoted by \(\delta(M)\), is given by \[ \delta(M)=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{n}|\{k\leq n: k\in M\}|, \] if this limit exists, where \(|\{k \leq n: k\in {M}\}|\) denotes the cardinality of the set \(\{k \leq n : k \in{M}\}\). A sequence \((x_{n})\) of real numbers is statistically convergent to a real number \(\ell\) if \[ \delta(\{n:|x_{n}-\ell|\geq \varepsilon \})=0 \] for every positive real number \(\varepsilon\). An ideal \(I\) is a family of subsets of positive integers, which is closed under taking finite unions and subsets of its elements. A sequence \(\mathbf{x}=({x_{n}})\) of real numbers is said to be \(I\)-convergent to a real number \(\ell\) if \( \{n\in \mathbb{N}: |x_n-\ell|\geq \varepsilon \} \in {I}\) for every positive real number \(\varepsilon\). In the present paper under review the authors apply the notion of ideals to strong matrix summability, they introduce the notion of strong \(A^{I}\)-summability with respect to an Orlicz function, and make certain investigations on the classes of sequences arising out of this new summability method.
