Generalization of the sequence space (p) derived by weighted mean

The sequence space (p) was introduced and studied by Maddox [I.J. Maddox, Spaces of strongly summable sequences, Quart. J. Math. Oxford (2) 18 (1967) 345–355]. In the present paper, the sequence spaces (u, v;p) of non-absolute type which is derived by the generalized weighted mean is defined and proved that the spaces (u, v;p) and (p) are linearly isomorphic. Besides this, the β- and γ -duals of the space (u, v;p) are computed and the basis of that space is constructed. Further, it is established that the sequence space p(u, v) has AD property and given f -dual of the space p(u, v). Finally, the matrix mappings from the sequence spaces (u, v;p) to the sequence space μ and from the sequence space μ to the sequence space (u, v;p) are characterized. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
