Abstract

We introduced the weak ideal convergence of new sequence spaces combining an infinite matrix of complex numbers and Musielak-Orlicz function over normed spaces. We also study some topological properties and inclusion relation between these spaces.

1. Introduction

Throughout the paper , , , , and denote the classes of all, bounded, convergent, null, and -absolutely summable sequences of complex numbers. The sets of natural numbers and real numbers will be denoted by , , respectively, and will denote an admissible ideal in ; , will denote a normed linear space and its continuous dual, respectively. Many authors studied various sequence spaces using normed or seminormed linear spaces. In this paper, using an infinite matrix of complex numbers and the notion of weak ideal, we aimed to introduce some new sequence spaces with Musielak-Orlicz function in normed spaces. By an ideal we mean a family of subsets of a nonempty set satisfying the following: (i) ; (ii) imply ; (iii) imply , while an admissible ideal of further satisfies for each . The notion of ideal convergence was introduced first by . Kostyrko et al. [1] as a generalization of statistical convergence. Given that is a nontrivial ideal in , the sequence in a normed space is said to be -convergent to if, for each , A sequence in a normed space is said to be -bounded if there exists such that A sequence in a normed space is said to be -Cauchy if, for each , there exists a positive integer such that Recently different classes of sequences have been introduced using ideal convergence; see [2, 3]. Following [4, 5], Pehlivan et al. [6] have introduced the concepts of weak -convergence and weak -Cauchy sequence in a normed space and investigated their basic properties. A sequence in a normed space is said to be weak -convergent to if, for each and for each , the set A sequence in a normed space is said to be weak -bounded for each if there exists such that A sequence in a normed space is said to be weak -Cauchy if, for each and for each , there exists a positive integer such that An Orlicz function is a function which is continuous, nondecreasing, and convex with , for , and , as . If convexity of is replaced by , then it is called a modulus function, introduced by Nakano [7]. Ruckle [8] and Maddox [9] used the idea of a modulus function to construct some spaces of complex sequences. An Orlicz function is said to satisfy -condition for all values of if there exists a constant , such that . The -condition is equivalent to for all values of and for . Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri [10] used the idea of an Orlicz function to define the following sequence spaces: which is a Banach space with the Luxemburg norm defined by The space is closely related to the space , which is an Orlicz sequence space with for . Recently different classes of sequences have been introduced using Orlicz functions. See [1114]. A sequence of Orlicz functions for all is called a Musielak-Orlicz function.

3. Main Results

In this section, we define some new weak ideal convergent sequence spaces and investigate their linear topological structures. We find out some relations related to these sequence spaces. Let be a weak admissible ideal of , let be a Musielak-Orlicz function, and let and be two nonempty subsets of the space of complex sequences. Let , be an infinite matrix of complex numbers. We write if converges for each . Further, let be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers:

Let us consider a few special cases of the above sets.(1)If for all , then the above classes of sequences are denoted by , , , and , respectively.(2)If for all , then the above classes of sequences are denoted by , , , and , respectively.(3)If for all and , then the above classes of sequences are denoted by , , , and , respectively.(4)If we take for all and as then we denote the above classes of sequences by , , , and , respectively.(5)If we take and as where is a nondecreasing sequence of positive numbers tending to , , and , then we denote the above classes of sequences by , , , and .(6)By a lacunary , , where , we will mean an increasing sequence of nonnegative integers with as . The interval determined by will be denoted by and and let as Then we denote the above classes of sequences by , , , and , respectively.(7)If , for all and , then the above classes of sequences are denoted by , , and , respectively.

Then, there exist and such that the sets Since is linear and the Orlicz function is convex for all , the following inequality holds: where . On the other hand from the above inequality we get Since the two sets on the right hand side belong to , this completes the proof.
