1 IntroductionThe notion of convergence of a real sequence was extended to a statistical convergence byFast [] (see also Schoenberg []) as follows. If N denotes the set of natural numbers andK ⊂ N, then K(m,n) denotes the cardinality of the set K ∩ [m,n]. The upper and lowernatural density of the subset K is defined by

d(K) = limn→∞ sup

K(,n)n

and d(K) = limn→∞ inf

K(,n)n

.

If d(K) = d(K), then we say that the natural density of K exists, and it is denoted simply byd(K). Clearly d(K) = limn→∞ K (,n)

n .A sequence x = (xk) of real numbers is said to be statistically convergent to L if for arbi-

trary ε > , the set K(ε) = {k ∈N : |xk – L| ≥ ε} has a natural density zero.Statistical convergence turned out to be one of the most active areas of research in

summability theory after the works of Fridy [] and Šalát []. For some very interestinginvestigations concerning statistical convergence, one may consult the papers of Cakalli[], Miller [], Maddox [] and many others, where more references on this importantsummability method can be found.On the other hand, in [, ], a different direction was given to the study of statistical

convergence, where the notion of statistical convergence of order α, < α < was intro-duced by replacing n by nα in the denominator in the definition of statistical convergence.It was observed in [] that the behaviour of this new convergence was not exactly parallelto that of statistical convergence, and some basic properties were obtained. One can alsosee [] for related works.In this paper, we define and study lacunary double almost statistical convergence of or-

der α. Also some inclusion relations have been examined.

Letw be the set of all real or complex double sequences. By the convergence of a doublesequence, we mean the convergence on the Pringsheim sense, that is, double sequencex = (xij) has a Pringsheim limit L, denoted by P-limx = L, provided that given ε > , andthere exists N ∈ N such that |xij – L| < ε whenever i, j ≥ N . We shall describe such anx more briefly as ‘P-convergent’ (see, []). We denote by c the space of P-convergentsequences. A double sequence x = (xij) is bounded if ‖x‖ = supi,j≥ |xij| < ∞. Let l∞ andc∞ be the set of all real or complex bounded double sequences and the set bounded andconvergent double sequences, respectively. Moricz and Rhoades [] defined the almostconvergence of double sequence as follows: x = (xij) is said to be almost convergent to anumber L if

P- limp,q→∞ sup

m,n

∣∣∣∣∣ (p + )(q + )

m+p∑i=m

n+q∑j=n

xij – L∣∣∣∣∣ = ,

that is, the average value of (xij) taken over any rectangle

D ={(i, j) :m ≤ i≤ m + p,n ≤ j ≤ n + q

},

tends to L as both p and q tend to ∞, and this convergence is uniform in m and n. Wedenote the space of almost convergent double sequence by c, as

c ={x = (xij) : lim

k,l→∞∣∣tklpq(x) – L

∣∣ = , uniformly in p,q},

where

tklpq(x) =

(k + )(l + )

k+p∑i=p

l+q∑j=q

xij.

The notion of almost convergence for single sequences was introduced by Lorentz []and some others.A double sequence x is called strongly double almost convergent to a number L if

P- limk,l→∞

(k + )(l + )

k+p∑i=p

l+q∑j=q

|xij – L| = , uniformly in p,q.

By [c], we denote the space of strongly almost convergent double sequences.The notion of strong almost convergence for single sequences has been introduced by

Maddox [].The idea of statistical convergence was extended to double sequences byMursaleen and

Edely []. More recent developments on double sequences can be found in [, –]. Forthe single sequences; statistical convergence of orderα and strongly p-Cesàro summabilityof order α introduced by Çolak []. Quite recently, in [], Çolak and Bektaş generalizedthis notion by using de la Valée-Poussin mean.LetK ⊆N×N be a two-dimensional set of positive integers, and letKm,n be the numbers

of (i, j) in K such that i≤ n and j ≤ m.

Then the lower asymptotic density of K is defined as

P-lim infm,n

Km,n

mn= δ(K).

In the case when the sequence (Km,nmn )∞,∞

m,n=, has a limit, we say that K has a natural densityand is defined as

P-limm,n

Km,n

mn= δ(K).

For example, let K = {(i, j) : i, j ∈N}, where N is the set of natural numbers. Then

δ(K) = P-limm,n

Km,n

mn≤ P-lim

mn=

(i.e., the set K has a double natural density zero).Mursaleen and Edely [] presented the notion of a statistical convergence for the dou-

ble sequence x = (xij) as follows: A real double sequence x = (xij) is said to be statisticallyconvergent to L, provided that for each ε >

P-limm,n

mn

∣∣{(i, j) : i ≤ m and j ≤ n, |xij – L| ≥ ε}∣∣ = .

We now write the following definition.The double statistical convergence of order α is defined as follows. Let < α ≤ be

given. The sequence (xij) is said to be statistically convergent of order α if there is a realnumber L such that

P- limmn→∞

(mn)α

∣∣{i≤ m and j ≤ n : |xij – L| ≥ ε}∣∣ =

for every ε > , in this, case we say that x is double statistically convergent of order α to L.In this case, we write Sα

-limxij = L. The set of all double statistically convergent sequencesof order α will be denoted by Sα

. If we take α = in this definition , we can have the previousdefinition.By a lacunary θ = (kr); r = , , , . . . , where k = , we shall mean an increasing sequence

of nonnegative integers with kr – kr– → ∞ as r → ∞. The intervals determined by θ willbe denoted by Ir = (kr–,kr] and hr = kr – kr–. The ratio kr

kr– will be denoted by qr .Fridy and Orhan [] introduced the idea of lacunary statistical convergence for single

sequence as follows.The number sequence x = (xi) is said to be lacunary statistically convergent to the num-

ber � if for each ε > ,

limn

hr

∣∣{k ∈ Ir : |xi – L| ≥ ε}∣∣ = .

In this case, we write Sθ -limi xi = �, and we denote the set of all lacunary statistically con-vergent sequences by Sθ .

Definition . By a double lacunary θrs = {(krls)}, r, s = , , , . . . , where k = and l = ,we shall mean two increasing sequences of nonnegative integers with

hr = kr – kk– → ∞ as r → ∞

and

hs = ls – ls– → ∞ as s → ∞.

Let us denote krs = krls, hrs = hrhs and the intervals determined by θrs will be denoted byIrs = {(k, l) : kr– < k ≤ kr and ls– < l ≤ ls}, qr = kr

kr– , qs =lsls– , and qrs = qrqs. We will denote

the set of all double lacunary sequences by Nθrs .Let K ⊆N ×N have double lacunary density δθ

(K) if

P-limrs

hrs

∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs : (k, l) ∈ K}∣∣

exists.

Example Let θ = {(r – , s – )} and K = {(k, l) : k, l ∈ N ×N}. Then δθ (K) = . But it

is obvious that δ(K) = /.

In , Patterson and Savaş [] studied double lacunary statistical convergence bygiving the definition for complex sequences as follows.

Definition . Let θrs be a double lacunary sequence; the double number sequence x isSθ -convergent to L, provided that for every ε > ,

P-limrs

hrs

∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs : |xkl – L| ≥ ε}∣∣ = .

In this case, write Sθ -limx = L or xklP→ L(Sθ ).

More investigation in this direction and more applications of double lacunary and dou-ble sequences can be found in [–] and [].

2 Main resultsIn this section, we define lacunary double almost statistically convergent sequences oforder α. Also we shall prove some inclusion theorems.We now have the following.

Definition . Let < α ≤ be given. The sequence x = (xij) ∈ w is said to be Sαθrs -

statistical convergence of order α if there is a real number L such that

P-limrs

hαrs

∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs :∣∣tklpq(x) – L

∣∣ ≥ ε}∣∣ = , uniformly in p,q,

where hαrs denote the αth power (hrs)α of hrs. In case x = (xij) is Sα

θrs -statistically convergentof order α to L, wewrite Sα

θrs-limxij = L.We denote the set of all Sαθrs -statistically convergent

sequences of order α by Sαθrs .

Page 5: Double almost lacunary statistical convergence of order α

Savas Advances in Difference Equations 2013, 2013:254 Page 5 of 10http://www.advancesindifferenceequations.com/content/2013/1/254

We know that the Sαθrs -statistical convergence of order α is well defined for < α ≤ ,

but it is not well defined for α > in general. It is easy to see by taking x = (xij) asfixed.

Definition . Let < α ≤ be any real number, and let t be a positive real number.A sequence x is said to be strongly wα

θrs (t)-summable of order α, if there is a real numberL such that

P-limrs

hαrs

∑(k,l)∈Irs

∣∣tklpq(x) – L∣∣t = , uniformly in p,q.

If we take α = , the strong wαθrs (t)-summability of order α reduces to the strong wθrs (t)-

summability.We denote the set of all strongly wα

θrs (t)-summable sequence of order α by wαθrs (t).

We now state the following theorem.

Theorem . If < α ≤ β ≤ , then Sαθrs ⊂ Sβ

θrs .

Proof Let < α ≤ β ≤ . Then

hβrs

∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs :∣∣tklpq(x) – L

∣∣ ≥ ε}∣∣ ≤

hαrs

∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs :∣∣tklpq(x) – L

∣∣ ≥ ε}∣∣

for every ε > , and finally, we have that Sαθrs ⊂ Sβ

θrs . This proves the result. �

Theorem . For any lacunary sequences θ , Sα ⊆ Sα

θrs , if lim infqr > and lim inf qs > .

Proof Suppose that lim infqαr > and lim infqα

s > , lim infqαr = α and lim infqα

s = α, say.Write β = (α – )/ and β = (α – )/. Then there exist a positive integer r and s suchthat qα

r ≥ + β for r ≥ r and qs ≥ + β for s ≥ s. Hence for r ≥ r, and s ≥ s,

Take any (xkl) ∈ Sα , and Sα

-lim(k,l)→∞ xkl = L, say. We prove that Sαθrs-lim(k,l)→∞ xkl = L.

Then for r ≥ r and s≥ s, we have

(krls)α

Therefore, Sαθrs-lim(k,l)→∞ x(k, l) = L. �

Remark . The converse of this result is true for α = . However, for α < it is not clear,and we leave it as an open problem.

Theorem . For any double lacunary sequence θrs, Sαθrs ⊆ Sα

if lim supr qαr < ∞ and

lim sups qαs <∞.

Proof Suppose that lim supr qαr < ∞ and lim sups qα

s <∞. Then there existsH > such thatqαr <H and qα

s <H for all r and s. Suppose that xkl → L(Sθαrs ) and

Nrs =∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs :

∣∣tklpq(x) – L∣∣ ≥ ε

hαrs< ε for all

r > r and s > s. Let

M := max{Nrs : ≤ r ≤ r and ≤ s ≤ s}.

Let n andm be such that kr– <m≤ kr and ls– < n≤ ls. Therefore, we obtain the following:

This completes the proof of the theorem. �

Theorem . Let < α ≤ β ≤ and t be a positive real number, then wαθrs (t)⊆ wβ

θrs (t).

Proof Let x = (xij) ∈ wαθrs (t). Then given α and β such that < α ≤ β ≤ and a positive real

number t we write

hβrs

∑(k,l)∈Irs

∣∣tklpq(x) – L∣∣t ≤

hαrs

∑(k,l)∈Irs

∣∣tklpq(x) – L∣∣t ,

and we get that wαθrs (t) ⊆ wβ

θrs (t). �

As a consequence of Theorem ., we have the following.

Corollary . Let < α ≤ β ≤ and t be a positive real number. Then:(i) If α = β , then wα

θrs (t) = wβ

θrs (t).(ii) wα

θrs (t) ⊆ wθrs (t) for each α ∈ (, ] and < t < ∞.

Theorem. Let α and β be fixed real numbers such that < α ≤ β ≤ and < t <∞. If asequence is a strongly wα

θrs (t)-summable sequence of order α, to L, then it is Sβ

θrs -statisticallyconvergent of order β , to L, i.e., wα

θrs (t) ⊂ Sβ

θrs .

Proof For any sequence x = (xij) and ε > , we write

∑(k,l)∈Irs

∣∣tklpq(x) – L∣∣t = ∑

(k,l)∈Irs|tklpq(x)–L|≥ε

∣∣tklpq(x) – L∣∣t ≥ ∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs :

∣∣tklpq(x) – L∣∣ ≥ ε

and so that

hαrs

∑(k,l)∈Irs

∣∣tklpq(x) – L∣∣t ≥

hαrs

∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs :∣∣tklpq(x) – L

≥ hβrs

∣∣{(k, l) ∈ Irs :∣∣tklpq(x) – L

∣∣ ≥ ε}∣∣ · εt ,

this shows that if x = (xij) is strongly wαθrs (t)-summable sequence of order α to L, then it is

θrs -statistically convergent of order β to L. This completes the proof. �

We have the following.

Corollary . Let α be fixed real numbers such that < α ≤ and < t < ∞.(i) If a sequence is strongly wα

θrs (t)-summable sequence of order α to L, then it isSα

θrs -statistically convergent of order α to L, i.e., wαθrs (t)⊂ Sα

θrs .(ii) wα

θrs (t) ⊂ Sθrs , for < α ≤ .

3 New sequence spaceIn this section, we study the inclusion relations between the set of Sα

θrs -statistical conver-gent sequences of order α and strongly wα

θrs [M, t]-summable sequences of order α withrespect to an Orlicz functionM.

The study of Orlicz sequence spaces was initiated with a certain specific purpose inBanach space theory. Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri [] investigated Orlicz sequence spacesin more detail, and they proved that every Orlicz sequence space lM contains a subspaceisomorphic to lp ( ≤ p < ∞). The Orlicz sequence spaces are the special cases of Orliczspaces studied in []. Orlicz spaces find a number of useful applications in the theory ofnonlinear integral equations. Whereas the Orlicz sequence spaces are the generalizationof lp spaces, the lp-spaces find themselves enveloped in Orlicz spaces [].Recall in [] that an Orlicz function M : [,∞) → [,∞) is continuous, convex, non-

decreasing function such thatM() = andM(x) > for x > , andM(x)→ ∞ as x → ∞.An Orlicz function M is said to satisfy �-condition for all values of u, if there exists

K > such thatM(u) ≤ KM(u), u≥ .In the later stage different classes of Orlicz sequence spaces were introduced and studied

by Parashar and Choudhary [], Savaş [–] and many others.

Definition . LetM be an Orlicz function, t = (tkl) be a sequence of strictly positive realnumbers, and let α ∈ (, ] be any real number. Now, we write

wαθrs [M, t] =

{x = (xkl) : P-limrs

hαrs

∑(k,l)∈Irs

[M(|tklpq(x) – L|)ρ

]tkl= ,

uniformly in p,q, for some L and ρ > }.

If x ∈ wαθrs [M, t], then we say that x is strongly double almost lacunary summable of order

α with respect to the Orlicz functionM.

If we consider various assignments ofM, θrs and t in the sequence spaces above, we aregranted the following:() IfM(x) = x, θ = rs, and tk,l = for all (k, l) then wα

θrs [M, t] = [wα].() If tk,l = for all (k, l), then wα

θrs [M, t] = wαθrs [M].

() If tk,l = for all (k, l) and θ = rs, then wαθrs[M, t] = wα[M].

() If θ = rs, then wαθ [M, t] = wα[M, t].

In the followings theorems, we shall assume that t = (tkl) is bounded and < h =infkl tkl ≤ tkl ≤ supkl tkl =H < ∞.

Theorem . Let α,β ∈ (, ] be real numbers such that α ≤ β , and let M be an Orliczfunction, then wα

θrs[M, t] ⊂ Sβ

θrs.

Proof Let x ∈ wαθ [M, t], ε > be given and

∑ and

∑ denote the sums over (k, l) ∈ Irs,

|tklpq(x) – L| ≥ ε and (k, l) ∈ Irs, |tklpq(x) – L| < ε, respectively. Since hαrs ≤ hβ

rs for each r, swe write

Since x ∈ wαθrs[M, t], the left hand side of the inequality above tends to zero as r, s → ∞

uniformly in p, q. Hence the right hand side tends to zero as r, s → ∞ uniformly in p, q,and, therefore, x ∈ Sβ

θrs . This proves the result. �

Corollary . Let α ∈ (, ] and M be an Orlicz function, then wαθrs [M, t] ⊂ Sα

θrs .

We finally prove the following theorem.

Theorem . Let M be an Orlicz function, and let x = (xij) be a bounded sequence, thenSα

θrs ⊂ wαθrs [M, t].

Proof Suppose that x ∈ �∞ and Sα

θrs-limxij = L. Since x ∈ �∞ , then there is a constant K >

Therefore, x ∈ x ∈ wαθrs [M, t]. This proves the result. �
