1 Introduction and preliminaries
An Orlicz function \(M : [0, \infty) \rightarrow[0, \infty)\) is convex and continuous such that \(M(0) = 0\), \(M(x)>0\) for \(x>0\). Let w be the space of all real or complex sequences \(x = (x_{k})\). Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri [1] used the idea of the Orlicz function to define the following sequence space:
$$\ell_{M} = \Biggl\{ x \in w : \sum^{\infty}_{k=1} M \biggl(\frac{|x_{k}|}{\rho} \biggr) < \infty, \mbox{for some } \rho>0 \Biggr\} , $$
which is called an Orlicz sequence space. The space \(\ell_{M}\) is a Banach space with the norm
It is shown in [1] that every Orlicz sequence space \(\ell_{M}\) contains a subspace isomorphic to \(\ell_{p} \) (\(p \geq1\)). An Orlicz function M satisfies the \(\Delta_{2}\)-condition if and only if for any constant \(L > 1 \) there exists a constant \(K(L)\) such that \(M(Lu) \leq K (L)M(u)\) for all values of \(u \geq0\).
A sequence \(\mathcal{M} = (M_{k})\) of Orlicz functions is called a Musielak-Orlicz function (see [2‐4]). A sequence \(\mathcal{N} =(N_{k})\) is defined by
is called the complementary function of a Musielak-Orlicz function ℳ. For a given Musielak-Orlicz function ℳ, the Musielak-Orlicz sequence space \({t_{\mathcal{M}}}\) and its subspace \(h_{\mathcal{M}}\) are defined as follows:
$$\begin{aligned}& t_{\mathcal{M}} = \bigl\{ x \in w : I_{\mathcal{M}} (cx) < \infty \mbox{ for some } c > 0 \bigr\} , \\& h_{\mathcal{M}} = \bigl\{ x \in w : I_{\mathcal{M}} (cx) < \infty \mbox{ for all } c > 0 \bigr\} , \end{aligned}$$
where \(I_{\mathcal{M}}\) is a convex modular defined by
$$I_{\mathcal{M}}(x) = \sum^{\infty}_{k=1} M_{k}(x_{k}),\quad x = (x_{k}) \in t_{\mathcal{M}}. $$
We consider \(t_{\mathcal{M}}\) equipped with the Luxemburg norm
A Musielak-Orlicz function \((M_{k})\) is said to satisfy the \(\Delta _{2}\)-condition if there exist constants \(a, K > 0 \) and a sequence \(c = (c_{k})^{\infty}_{k = 1}\in\ell^{1}_{+}\) (the positive cone of \(\ell^{1}\)) such that the inequality
$$M_{k}(2u) \leq K M_{k}(u) + c_{k} $$
holds for all \(k \in N\) and \(u \in R_{+}\) whenever \(M_{k}(u) \leq a\).
Anzeige
A modulus function is a function \(f : [0, \infty) \rightarrow[0, \infty) \) such that
(1)
\(f(x) = 0 \) if and only if \(x =0 \),
(2)
\(f(x + y ) \leq f(x) + f(y)\) for all \(x \geq0\), \(y\geq0 \),
(3)
f is increasing,
(4)
f is continuous from right at 0.
It follows that f must be continuous everywhere on \([0, \infty) \). The modulus function may be bounded or unbounded. For example, if we take \(f(x) = \frac{x}{x +1}\), then \(f(x) \) is bounded. If \(f(x)=x^{p} \), \(0 < p < 1 \), then the modulus \(f(x)\) is unbounded. Subsequently, modulus function has been discussed in [2, 5‐8] and references therein.
Let \(l_{\infty}\), c, and \(c_{0}\) denote the spaces of all bounded, convergent, and null sequences \(x = (x_{k}) \) with complex terms, respectively. The zero sequence \((0,0,\ldots)\) is denoted by θ.
The notion of difference sequence spaces was introduced by Kızmaz [9], who studied the difference sequence spaces \(l_{\infty}(\Delta)\), \(c(\Delta)\), and \(c_{0}(\Delta)\). The notion was further generalized by Et and Çolak [10] by introducing the spaces \(l_{\infty}(\Delta^{n})\), \(c(\Delta^{n})\), and \(c_{0}(\Delta^{n})\). Another type of generalization of the difference sequence spaces is due to Tripathy and Esi [8] who studied the spaces \(l_{\infty}(\Delta^{m}_{n})\), \(c(\Delta^{m}_{n})\), and \(c_{0}(\Delta^{m}_{n})\).
Let m, n be non-negative integers, then for Z a given sequence space, we have
$$Z \bigl(\Delta^{n}_{m}\bigr) = \bigl\{ x = (x_{k})\in w : \bigl(\Delta^{n}_{m} x_{k}\bigr)\in Z \bigr\} $$
for \(Z = c, c_{0}\mbox{ and }l_{\infty}\) where \(\Delta^{n}_{m} x = (\Delta ^{n}_{m} x_{k}) = ( \Delta^{n-1}_{m} x_{k} - \Delta^{n-1}_{m} x_{k+m})\) and \(\Delta^{0}_{m} x_{k} = x_{k} \) for all \(k \in\mathbb{N}\), which is equivalent to the following binomial representation:
$$\Delta^{n}_{m} x_{k} = \sum ^{n}_{v=0}(-1)^{v}\left ( \begin{array}{@{}c@{}} n \\ v \end{array} \right )x_{k + mv}. $$
Taking \(m = 1 \), we get the spaces \(l_{\infty}(\Delta^{n})\), \(c(\Delta^{n})\), and \(c_{0}(\Delta^{n})\) studied by Et and Çolak [10]. Taking \(m = n = 1 \), we get the spaces \(l_{\infty}(\Delta)\), \(c(\Delta)\), and \(c_{0}(\Delta)\) introduced and studied by Kızmaz [9]. For more details as regards sequence spaces, see [6, 11‐23] and references therein.

Let \(\mathcal{M} = (M_{k})\) be a Musielak-Orlicz function, \(p=(p_{k})\) be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers and \(u = (u_{k})\) be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers. Let \((X,q)\) be a space seminormed by q. In the present paper we define the following sequence spaces:
$$\begin{aligned}& \begin{aligned}[b] w_{0} \bigl(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m},p,q,u \bigr) ={}& \Biggl\{ x = (x_{k}):\frac {1}{n}\sum ^{n}_{k=1} \biggl[M_{k} \biggl( \frac{q (u_{k}\Delta^{n}_{m}x_{k} )}{\rho} \biggr) \biggr]^{p_{k}} \rightarrow0 \mbox{ as } n \rightarrow\infty,\\ &{} \mbox{for some } \rho> 0 \Biggr\} , \end{aligned}\\& \begin{aligned}[b] w \bigl(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m},p,q,u \bigr) ={}& \Biggl\{ x = (x_{k}):\frac {1}{n}\sum^{n}_{k=1} \biggl[M_{k} \biggl(\frac{q (u_{k}\Delta^{n}_{m}x_{k} - L )}{\rho} \biggr) \biggr]^{p_{k}} \rightarrow0 \mbox{ as } n \rightarrow\infty,\\ &{}\mbox{for some } L \in X, \rho> 0 \Biggr\} , \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$
for all k and \(a_{k}, b_{k} \in\mathbb{C} \). Also \(|a|^{p_{k}}\leq\max (1, |a|^{K})\) for all \(a \in\mathbb{C}\).
The aim of this paper is to study some topological and algebraic properties of the above sequence spaces.
2 Main results
Theorem 2.1
Suppose\(\mathcal{M}= (M_{k})\)be a Musielak-Orlicz function, \(p=(p_{k})\)be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers and\(u = (u_{k})\)be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers. Then the spaces\(w_{0} (\mathcal{M}, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\), \(w (\mathcal{M}, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\)and\(w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M}, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\)are linear spaces over the complex field ℂ.
Proof
Let \(x =(x_{k}), y = (y_{k}) \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M}, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) and \(\alpha, \beta\in\mathbb{C}\). Then there exist positive real numbers \(\rho_{1}\) and \(\rho_{2}\) such that
Define \(\rho_{3} = \max(2|\alpha|\rho_{1}, 2|\beta| \rho_{2})\). Since \((M_{k})\) is non-decreasing, convex and so by using inequality (1.1), we have
Thus, \(\alpha x + \beta y \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M}, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u ) \). Hence \(w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M}, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) is a linear space. Similarly, we can prove \(w (\mathcal{M}, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) and \(w_{0} (\mathcal{M}, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) are linear spaces over the field of complex numbers. □
Theorem 2.2
Suppose\(\mathcal{M} = (M_{k})\)be a Musielak-Orlicz function, \(p=(p_{k})\)be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers and\(u = (u_{k})\)be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers. Then the space\(w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\)is a paranormed space with the paranorm defined by
(i) Clearly, \(g(x) \geq0\) for \(x = (x_{k}) \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\). Since \(M_{k}(0) = 0\), we get \(g(\theta) = 0\).
(ii) \(g(-x) = g(x)\).
(iii) Let \(x = (x_{k}), y = (y_{k}) \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta ^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) then there exist \(\rho_{1}, \rho_{2} > 0\) such that
where \(r = \frac{\rho}{|\lambda|}\). Hence, \(w_{\infty}(\mathcal {M},\Delta^{n}_{m},p,q,u )\) is a paranormed space. □
Theorem 2.3
If\(0 < p_{k} \leq r_{k} < \infty\)for eachk, then\(Z (\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u ) \subseteq Z (\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, r, q, u )\)for\(Z = w_{0}, w, w_{\infty}\).
Proof
Let \(x = (x_{k}) \in w (\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\). Then there exist some \(\rho> 0 \) and \(L \in X\) such that
This implies that \(x = (x_{k}) \in w(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, r, q, u )\). This completes the proof. Similarly, we can prove for the cases \(Z = w_{0}, w_{\infty}\). □
Theorem 2.4
Suppose\(\mathcal{M'} = (M_{k}')\)and\(\mathcal {M''} = (M_{k}'')\)are Musielak-Orlicz functions satisfying the\(\Delta _{2}\)-condition, then we have the following results:
(i)
If\(p = (p_{k})\)is a bounded sequence of positive real numbers then\(Z (\mathcal{M'},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u ) \subseteq Z (\mathcal {M''\circ M'},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\)for\(Z = w_{0}, w,\textit{and }w_{\infty}\).
(ii)
\(Z (\mathcal{M'},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u ) \cap Z (\mathcal{M}'',\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u ) \subseteq Z (\mathcal{M' + M''},\Delta^{n}_{m},p,q,u )\)for\(Z = w_{0}, w,\textit{and }w_{\infty}\).
Proof
(i) If \(x = (x_{k}) \in w_{0} (\mathcal{M'},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u)\), then there exists some \(\rho> 0\) such that
for all \(k \in\mathbb{N}\). Choose \(0 < \delta< 1\), then for \(y_{k} \geq \delta\) we have \(y_{k} < \frac{y_{k}}{\delta} < 1 + \frac{y_{k}}{\delta}\). Now \((M_{k}'')\) satisfies the \(\Delta_{2}\)-condition so that there exists \(J \geq1 \) such that
(ii) Suppose \(x = (x_{k} )\in w_{0} (M_{k}',\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u ) \cap w_{0} (M_{k}'',\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\), then there exist \(\rho _{1}, \rho_{2} > 0\) such that
Hence, \(w_{0} (M_{k}',\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u ) \cap w_{0} (M_{k}'',\Delta ^{n}_{m}, p, q, u ) \subseteq w_{0} (M_{k}' + M_{k}'',\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\). Similarly we can prove the other cases. □
Theorem 2.5
(i) If\(0 < \inf p_{k} \leq p_{k} < 1\), then
$$w_{\infty}\bigl(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u \bigr) \subset w_{\infty}\bigl(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u \bigr). $$
(ii) If\(1 \leq p_{k} \leq\sup p_{k} < \infty\), then
$$w_{\infty}\bigl(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u \bigr) \subset w_{\infty}\bigl(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u \bigr). $$
Proof
(i) Let \(x = (x_{k}) \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta ^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\). Since \(0 < \inf p_{k} \leq1\), we have
and hence \(x = (x_{k}) \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u )\).
(ii) Let \(p_{k} \geq1\) for each k and \(\sup_{k} p_{k} < \infty \). Let \(x = (x_{k}) \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u )\), then for each \(\epsilon> 0\) such that \(0 < \epsilon< 1\), there exists a positive integer \(n \in\mathbb{N} \) such that
This shows that \((\alpha_{k} x_{k}) \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta ^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) for all sequences of scalars \((\alpha_{k})\) with \(|\alpha_{k}| \leq1 \) for all \(k \in\mathbb{N}\), whenever \((x_{k}) \in w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\). Hence the space \(w_{\infty}(\mathcal{M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) is a solid sequence space. □
Theorem 2.7
The sequence space\(w_{\infty}(\mathcal {M},\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\)is monotone.
Proof
The proof of the theorem is obvious and so we omit it. □
Let \(F = (f_{k})\) be a sequence of modulus functions, \(p=(p_{k})\) be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers and \(u = (u_{k})\) be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers. Let \((X,q)\) be a space seminormed by q. Now, we define the following sequence spaces:
$$\begin{aligned}& \begin{aligned}[b] w_{0} \bigl(F,\Delta^{n}_{m},p,q,u \bigr) ={}& \Biggl\{ x = (x_{k}):\frac{1}{n}\sum^{n}_{k=1} \biggl[f_{k} \biggl(\frac{q (u_{k}\Delta^{n}_{m}x_{k} )}{\rho} \biggr) \biggr]^{p_{k}} \rightarrow0 \mbox{ as } n \rightarrow\infty,\\ &{}\mbox{for some } \rho> 0 \Biggr\} , \end{aligned} \\& \begin{aligned}[b] w \bigl(F,\Delta^{n}_{m},p,q,u \bigr) ={}& \Biggl\{ x = (x_{k}):\frac{1}{n}\sum^{n}_{k=1} \biggl[f_{k} \biggl(\frac{q (u_{k}\Delta^{n}_{m}x_{k} - L )}{\rho } \biggr) \biggr]^{p_{k}} \rightarrow0 \mbox{ as } n \rightarrow \infty, \\ &{}\mbox{for some } \rho> 0 \mbox{ and } L \in X \Biggr\} , \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$
Let\(F = (f_{k})\)be a sequence of modulus functions, \(p=(p_{k})\)be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers and\(u = (u_{k})\)be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers. Then the spaces\(w_{0} (F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\), \(w (F, \Delta ^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\), and\(w_{\infty}(F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\)are linear spaces over the complex field ℂ.
Proof
The proof of Theorem 2.1 holds along the same lines for this theorem and so we omit it. □
Theorem 2.9
Let\(F = (f_{k})\)be a sequence of modulus function, \(p=(p_{k})\)be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers and\(u = (u_{k})\)be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers. Then\(w_{\infty}(F,\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\)is a paranormed space with the paranorm defined by
The proof follows from Theorem 2.2 and so we omit it. □
Theorem 2.10
Let\(F= (f_{k})\)be a sequence of modulus functions, \(p=(p_{k})\)be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers and\(u = (u_{k})\)be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers. Then
$$w_{0} \bigl(F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u \bigr) \subset w \bigl(F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u \bigr)\subset w_{\infty}\bigl(F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u \bigr), $$
and the inclusions are strict.
Proof
The proof is obvious. □
Theorem 2.11
Let\(F = (f_{k})\)and\(G = (g_{k})\)be any two sequences of modulus functions. For any bounded sequences\(p = (p_{k})\)of positive real numbers and for any two seminormsqand r. Then
(i)
\(w_{Z} (F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u ) \subset w_{Z} (F\circ G, \Delta ^{n}_{m}, q, u )\),
(ii)
\(w_{Z} (F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\cap w_{Z} (F, \Delta ^{n}_{m}, p, r, u ) \subset w_{Z} (F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q + r, u ) \),
(iii)
\(w_{Z} (F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\cap w_{Z} (G, \Delta ^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\subset w_{Z} (F+G, \Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\), where\(Z= 0,1, \infty\).
Proof
(i) We shall prove it for the relation \(w_{0} (F, \Delta ^{n}_{m}, q, u ) \subset w_{0} (F\circ G, \Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u )\). For \(\epsilon> 0\), we choose δ, \(0<\delta< 1\), such that \(f_{k}(t) < \epsilon\) for \(0\leq t \leq\delta\) and all \(k\in\mathbb {N}\). We write \(y_{k} = g_{k} (\frac{q (\Delta_{n}^{m} u_{k} x_{k} )}{\rho} )\) and consider
It follows from (2.2) and (2.3) that \(w_{0} (F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u ) \subset w_{0} (F\circ G, \Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u )\). Similarly, we can prove \(w (F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u ) \subset w (F\circ G, \Delta ^{n}_{m}, q, u )\) and \(w_{\infty}(F, \Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u ) \subset w_{\infty}(F\circ G, \Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u )\).
The proof of (ii) and (iii) follows from (i). □
Corollary 2.12
Letfbe a modulus function. Then
$$w_{Z} \bigl(\Delta^{n}_{m}, q,u \bigr)\subset w_{Z} \bigl(f, \Delta^{n}_{m}, q, u \bigr), \quad \textit{for } Z= 0,1, \infty. $$
Theorem 2.13
Let\(F = (f_{k})\)be a sequence of modulus functions, \(p=(p_{k})\)be any bounded sequence of positive real numbers and\(u = (u_{k})\)be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers. Then\(w_{\infty}(F,\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\)is complete and seminormed by (2.1).
Proof
Suppose \((x^{n})\) is a Cauchy sequence in \(w_{\infty}(F,\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\), where \(x^{n} = (x^{n}_{k})^{\infty}_{k = 1}\) for all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\). So that \(g(x^{i} - x^{j}) \rightarrow0 \) as \(i, j \rightarrow\infty\). Suppose \(\epsilon> 0 \) is given and let s and \(x_{0}\) be such that \(\frac{\epsilon}{s x_{0}} > 0 \) and \(f_{k} (\frac {s x_{0}}{2} ) \geq \sup_{k\geq1}(p_{k})\). Since \(g(x^{i} - x^{j}) \rightarrow0\), as \(i, j \rightarrow\infty\), which means that there exists \(n_{0} \in\mathbb{N}\) such that
It shows that \((x^{i}_{1})\) is a Cauchy sequence in X. Thus, \((x^{i}_{1})\) is convergent in X because X is complete. Suppose \(\lim_{i\rightarrow\infty} x^{i}_{1} = x_{1}\) then \(\lim_{j\rightarrow\infty} g(x^{i}_{1} - x^{j}_{1}) < \frac{\epsilon}{ s x_{0}}\), we get
which shows that \((u_{k}\Delta^{n}_{m} x^{i}_{k})\) is a Cauchy sequence in X for all \(k\in\mathbb{N}\). Therefore, \((u_{k}\Delta^{n}_{m} x^{i}_{k})\) converges in X. Suppose \(\lim_{i\rightarrow\infty}\Delta^{n}_{m} x^{i}_{k} = y_{k}\) for all \(k\in\mathbb{N}\). Also, we have \(\lim_{i\rightarrow\infty}u_{k}\Delta^{n}_{m} x^{i}_{2} =y_{1}- x_{1}\). On repeating the same procedure, we obtain \(\lim_{i\rightarrow\infty }u_{k}\Delta^{n}_{m} x^{i}_{k+1} =y_{k}- x_{k}\) for all \(k \in\mathbb{N}\). Therefore by continuity of \(f_{k}\), we get
Let \(i\geq n_{0}\) and taking the infimum of each ρ, we have
$$g\bigl(x^{i} - x\bigr) < \epsilon. $$
So \((x^{i} - x)\in w_{\infty}(F,\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\). Hence \(x= x^{i} - (x^{i} - x)\in w_{\infty}(F,\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\), since \(w_{\infty}(F,\Delta^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) is a linear space. Hence, \(w_{\infty}(F,\Delta ^{n}_{m}, p, q, u )\) is a complete paranormed space. □
