It was recently shown in (1), corollary 1, that if (I) = (N, q) then I and (N, q) were consistent. By I we denote the unit infinite matrix, and (N, q) denotes a general complex Nörlund mean. The summability field (A) of any infinite matrix A = (ank) is defined aswhere c is the space of convergent sequences. The summability field of (N, q) is, for simplicity, written as (N, q) instead of ((N, q)).

Let A = (ank) be an infinite matrix of complex numbers; suppose I is the unit matrix and c is the space of convergent sequences. By (A) we denote the summability field of A, i.e. (A) = {x = (xk): Ax ∈ c}.

Integral transformations analogous to the Nörlund means have been introduced and investigated by Kuttner, Knopp and Vanderburg(6), (5), (4). It is known that with any regular Nörlund mean (N, p) there is associated a functionregular for |z| < 1, and if we have two Nörlund means (N, p) and (N, r), where (N, pr is regular, while the function is regular for |z| ≤ 1 and different) from zero at z = 1, then q(z) = r(z)p(z) belongs to a regular Nörlund mean (N, q). Concerning Nörlund means Peyerimhoff(7) and Miesner (3) have recently obtained the relation between the convergence fields of the Nörlund means (N, p) and (N, r) on the one hand and the convergence field of the Nörlund mean (N, q) on the other hand.

In this note I show, by means of an infinite matrix M, that the number of irreducible modalities in Lewis's system S2 is infinite. The result is of some interest in view of the fact that Parry has recently shown that there are but a finite number of modalities in the system S2 (which is the next stronger system than S2 discussed by Lewis).I begin by introducing a function θ which is defined over the class of sets of signed integers, and which assumes sets of signed integers as values. If A is any set of signed integers, then θ(A) is the set of all signed integers whose immediate predecessors are in A; i.e., , so that n ϵ θ(A) is true if and only if n − 1 ϵ A is true.Thus, for example, θ({−10, −1, 0, 3, 14}) = {−9, 0, 1, 4, 15}. In particular we notice that θ(V) = V and θ(Λ) = Λ, where V is the set of all signed integers, and Λ is the empty set of signed integers.It is clear that, if A and B are sets of signed integers, then θ(A+B) = θ(A)+θ(B).It is also easily proved that, for any set A of signed integers we have . For, if n is any signed integer, then

AbstractIt is shown that for the Cesàro means (C, α) with α > - 1, and for a certain class of more general Nörlund means, summability of the series σan implies uniform summability of the series σan zn in a Stolz angle at z = 1.If B is a normal matrix and (B) denotes the series summability field with the usual Banach space topology, then the vectors {ek} (ek = {0,0,..., 1,0,...}) are said to form a Toplitz basis for (B) relative to a method H if H — Σakek = a for each a = {ak}ε(B). It is shown for example that the above relation holds for B = (C,α), α> − 1 , and H = Abel method; also for B = (C,α) and H = (C,β) with 0 ≤ α ≤ β.Applications are made to theorems on summability factors.

SynopsisUsing some new expressions for the weakly convergent sequences coefficient WCS(X) the lower boundednessis proved, where δ(-) is the (Clarkson) modulus of convexity. We also define a modulus of noncompact convexity concerning nearly uniformly convex spaces which is used to obtain another lower bound for WCS(X). The computation of this modulus in Ip-spaces shows that our second lower bound is the best possible in these spaces.

A well-known result by Cohen and Dunford ([2], 1937) characterises the class of all regular compact linear operators. It follows that a regular matrix transformation cannot be compact. This means that if c denotes the set of all complex sequences of complex numbers, then an infinite matrix that maps c into c and preserves the limits cannot be compact. We obtained this result in a different way applying the theory of BK spaces from functional analysis and summability, and using the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness. Furthermore, we present the extension of this result to matrix transformations between the spaces c and the spaces of strongly summable sequences by the Cesaro method of order 1, and of strongly convergent sequences. We present new unified proofs for our main results.

AbstractA sequence of graphs is FO-convergent if the probability of satisfaction of every first-order formula converges. A graph modeling is a graph, whose domain is a standard probability space, with the property that every definable set is Borel. It was known that FO-convergent sequence of graphs do not always admit a modeling limit, but it was conjectured that FO-convergent sequences of sufficiently sparse graphs have a modeling limits. Precisely, two conjectures were proposed:1.If a FO-convergent sequence of graphs is residual, that is if for every integer d the maximum relative size of a ball of radius d in the graphs of the sequence tends to zero, then the sequence has a modeling limit.2.A monotone class of graphs ${\cal C}$ has the property that every FO-convergent sequence of graphs from ${\cal C}$ has a modeling limit if and only if ${\cal C}$ is nowhere dense, that is if and only if for each integer p there is $N\left( p \right)$ such that no graph in ${\cal C}$ contains the pth subdivision of a complete graph on $N\left( p \right)$ vertices as a subgraph.In this article we prove both conjectures. This solves some of the main problems in the area and among others provides an analytic characterization of the nowhere dense–somewhere dense dichotomy.

For an ultrafilter , consider the ultrapower NN/. 〈an〉/ is in the top sky of NN/ if there exists a sequence 〈bn〉 ∈ NN such thatandIn [M2] we showed, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, that there are exactly 10 c/p's (where c is the ring of real convergent sequences and p is a prime ideal of c). To get the lower bound we showed that there will be at least 10 c/p's in any model of ZFC where there exist both of the following kinds of ultrafilter:(i) nonprincipal P-points,(ii) non-P-points such that when the top sky is removed from NN/, the remaining model has countable cofinality.In [M2] we showed that the Continuum Hypothesis implies the existence of the ultrafilter in (ii). In this paper we show that its existence is implied by an axiom weaker than the Continuum Hypothesis, in fact weaker than Martin's Axiom, namely,(*) If is a subset of NN such that for any f: N → N there exists g ∈ such that g(n) > f(n) for all n, then ∣∣ = .

Certain functions of infinite matrices are known to exist.† This gives rise to the following questions:1. Whether the power series of matriceshas a zero in the field ‡ of infinite matrices, and2. If f(A) exists for a certain infinite matrix A, is there an infinite matrix B such thatIn other words, is there a matrix period for f(A)?In this paper theorems concerning zeros and periodicity of functions of semi block infinite matrices § (defined below) are established.

In his important paper (1), Lorentz defined the space f of almost convergent sequences, using the idea of Banach limits. If x ∈ l∞(R), the space of bounded real sequences, andwhere the inf is taken over all sets n(1), n(2), …, n(r) of natural numbers, then a Banach limit L may be defined as a linear functional on l∞(R) which satisfies
