Introduction and preliminaries Let Ꮿ denote the space whose elements are finite sets of distinct positive integers. Given an element σ ∈ Ꮿ,wewritec(σ) for the sequence (c n (σ)) such that c n (σ) = 1forn ∈ σ, and c n (σ) = 0, otherwise. Further Ꮿ s = σ ∈ Ꮿ : ∞ n=1 c n (σ) ≤ s , (1.1) that is, Ꮿ s is the set of those σ whose support has cardinality at most s,wheres is a natural number. Let w be the set of all real sequences and Φ = φ = φ n ∈ w : φ 1 > 0,∇φ k ≥ 0, ∇ φ k k ≤ 0(k = 1,2, ) , (1.2) where ∇φ k = φ k − φ k−1 . For φ ∈ Φ,Sargent[1] introduced the following sequence space: m(φ) = x = x n ∈ w :sup s≥1 sup σ∈Ꮿ s 1 φ s n∈σ |x n | < ∞ . (1.3) 2 Journal of Inequalities and Applications In [2], the space m(φ) has been considered for matrix transformations and in [3]some of its geometric properties have been considered. Tripathy and Sen [4]extendedm(φ)to m(φ, p),1 ≤ p<∞. Recently, C¸olakandEt[5] defined the space m(φ, p,Δ (r) ) by using the idea of difference sequences (see [6–8]). Let r be a positive integer throughout. The operators Δ (r) ,Σ (r) : w→w are defined by Δ (1) x k = (Δx) k = x k − x k+1 , Σ (1) x k = (Σx) k = ∞ j=k x j (k = 1,2, ), Δ (r) = Δ (1) ◦ Δ (r−1) , Σ (r) = Σ (1) ◦ Σ (r−1) ,(r ≥ 2), Σ (r) ◦ Δ (r) = Δ (r) ◦ Σ (r) = id, the identity on w. (1.4) For 0 ≤ p<∞, the space m(φ, p,Δ (r) )isdefinedasfollows: m φ, p,Δ (r) = x ∈ w :sup s≥1,σ∈Ꮿ s 1 φ s n∈σ Δ (r) x n p < ∞ , (1.5) which is a Banach space (1 ≤ p<∞) with the norm x m(φ,p,Δ (r) ) = r i=1 |x i | +sup s≥1,σ∈Ꮿ s 1 φ s n∈σ Δ (r) x n p 1/p , (1.6) and a complete p-normed space (0 <p<1) with the p-norm x m p (φ,Δ (r) ) = r i=1 |x i | p +sup s≥1,σ∈Ꮿ s 1 φ s n∈σ Δ (r) x n p . (1.7) In this paper, we will consider the case 1 <p< ∞ to study some geometric properties of m(φ, p,Δ (r) ). We will examine the Banach-Saks property of type p,strictconvexityand uniform convexity. The space m(φ, p),1 ≤ p<∞ was defined by Tripathy and Sen [4] which is in fact m(φ, p,Δ)withΔ replaced by id. Let 1 <p< ∞. ABanachspaceX is said to have the Banach-Saks property of type p or property (BS) p ifeveryweaklynull-sequence(x k ) has a subsequence (x k i )suchthatfor some C>0, the inequality n i=0 x k i X ≤ c(n +1) 1/p , n = 1,2,3, , (1.8) holds. The property (BS) p for a Ces ` aro sequence space was considered in [9]. We find uniform convexity and strict convexity of our space through the Gurarii’s modulus of convexity (see [10, 11]). For a normed linear space X, the modulus of convexity defined by β X (ε) = inf 1 − inf 0≤α≤1 αx +(1− α)y : x, y ∈ S(X),x − y=ε , (1.9) M. Mursaleen et al. 3 is called the Gurarii’s modulus of convexity, where S(X) denotes the unit sphere in X and 0 <ε ≤ 2. If 0 <β X (ε) < 1, then X is uniformly convex and if β X (ε) ≤ 1, then X is strictly convex. 2. Main results Theorem 2.1. The space m(φ, p,Δ (r) ) has the Banach-Saks property of type p. Proof. We will prove the case r = 1 and the general case can be followed on the same lines. Let (ε n ) be a sequence of positive numbers for which ∞ n=1 ε n ≤ 1/2. Let (x n )bea weakly null sequence in B(m(φ, p,Δ)), the unit ball in m(φ, p,Δ). Set x 0 = 0andz 1 = x n 1 = Δx 1 . Then there exists s 1 ∈ N such that i∈τ 1 z 1 (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) <ε 1 , (2.1) where τ 1 consists of the elements of σ which exceed s 1 . Since x n w −→ 0 ⇒ x n →0coordinate- wise, there is n 2 ∈ N such that s 1 i=1 x n (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) <ε 1 ,whenn ≥ n 2 . (2.2) Set z 2 = x n 2 = Δx 2 . Then there exists s 2 >s 1 such that i∈τ 2 z 2 (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) <ε 2 , (2.3) where τ 2 consists of the elements of σ which exceed s 2 . Again using the fact x n →0coordi- natewise, there exists n 3 >n 2 such that s 2 i=1 x n (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) <ε 2 ,whenn ≥ n 3 . (2.4) Continuing this process, we can find two increasing sequences (s i )and(n i )suchthat s j i=1 x n (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) <ε j ,whenn ≥ n j+1 , i∈τ j z j (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) <ε j , (2.5) where z j = x n j = Δx j and τ j consists of the elements of σ which exceed s j . Note that z j (i) is a term in the sequence with fixed j and running i. 4 Journal of Inequalities and Applications Since ε j−1 + ε j < 1, we have 1 φ s n∈σ z j (n) ≤ ε j−1 + ε j < 1, (2.6) for all j ∈ N and s ≥ 1. Hence n j=1 z j m(φ,p,Δ) = n j=1 s j−1 i=1 z j (i)e i + s j i=s j−1 +1 z j (i)e i + i∈τ j z j (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) ≤ n j=1 s j−1 i=1 z j (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) + n j=1 s j i=s j−1 +1 z j (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) + n j=1 i∈τ j z j (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) ≤ n j=1 s j i=s j−1 +1 z j (i)e i m(φ,p,Δ) +2 n j=1 ε j , n j=1 s j i=s j−1 +1 z j (i)e i p m(φ,p,Δ) = n j=1 sup s≥1 sup τ j−1 ∈Ꮿ s 1 φ s i∈τ j−1 z j (i) p ≤ n j=1 sup s≥1 sup σ∈Ꮿ s 1 φ s i∈σ z j (i) p ≤ n. (2.7) Therefore by (2.7) n j=1 z j m(φ,p,Δ) ≤ n 1/p +1≤ 2n 1/p (2.8) since n j =1 ε j ≤ 1/2. Hence m(φ, p,Δ) has the Banach-Saks property of type p. Remark 2.2. The above result can also be extended to the case when r =1 and so the proof should also work for a more general case with Δ replaced by a matrix operator (transformation). Theorem 2.3. The Gurarii’s modulus of convexity for the space X = m(φ, p,Δ) is β X (ε) ≤ 1 − 1 − ε 2 p 1/p , (2.9) where 0 <ε ≤ 2. M. Mursaleen et al. 5 Proof. Let x ∈ m(φ, p,Δ). Then x m(φ,p,Δ) =Δx m(φ,p) = x 1 +sup s≥1,σ∈Ꮿ s 1 φ s n∈σ Δx n p 1/p . (2.10) Let 0 <ε ≤ 2 and consider the sequences u = (u n ) = 1 − ε 2 p 1/p , ε 2 ,0,0, , v = (v n ) = 1 − ε 2 p 1/p , − ε 2 ,0,0, . (2.11) Then Δu m(φ,p) =u m(φ,p,Δ) =1,Δv m(φ,p) =v m(φ,p,Δ) =1, that is, u,v ∈ S(m(φ, p, Δ)) and Δu −Δv m(φ,p) =u − v m(φ,p,Δ) = ε. For 0 ≤ α ≤ 1, αu +(1− α)v p m(φ,p,Δ) = αΔu +(1− α)Δv p m(φ,p) = 1 − ε 2 p + |2α − 1| ε 2 p . (2.12) Hence inf 0≤α≤1 αu +(1− α)v p m(φ,p,Δ) = 1 − ε 2 p . (2.13) Therefore, for p ≥ 1 β X (ε) ≤ 1 − 1 − ε 2 p 1/p . (2.14) This completes the proof of the theorem. Corollary 2.4. (i) If ε = 2, then β X (ε) ≤ 1 and hence m(φ, p,Δ) is strictly convex. (ii) If 0 <ε<2, then 0 <β X (ε) < 1 and hence m(φ, p,Δ) is uniformly convex. Remark 2.5. Note that these results are best possible for the time being, that is, they cannot be readily generalized to the gener al case because our results also hold for general matrix transformation.
