1. Introduction and background. In 1951, Fast [9] and Steinhaus [19] introduced the concept of statistical convergence via the natural density. The natural density of a set A C N is defined as

n cardiA n{1, 2 ,...,k}) d(A) = lim----,

k^x k

provided that the limit exists. A sequence x = (xk) is called statistically convergent to a real number x0, if for any e > 0, the set {k E N: Xk E (x0 — £,x0 + e)} has zero natural density. Now, since every finite subsets of N have zero natural density, statistical convergence has appeared to be one of the generalizations of the usual convergence. Apart from Fast [9] and Steinhaus [19], a lot of investigation and generalizations in this direction has been carried out by Fridy [10], [11], Salat [17], Tripathy [20] and many others [1], [3], [14].

In an attempt to extend the notion of statistical convergence, X and X*—convergence of sequences was introduced in 2001 by Kostyrko et. al. [13] in the metric space setting, where X represents an ideal in N. A sequence % = (xk) is called X-convergent to a real number x0 if for any e > 0, the set {k E N: Xk E (xo — £,xo + e)} E X. Interestingly, X-convergence was appeared not only as a generalization of statistical convergence, but, also,

some other important known notions of convergences, such as logarithmic statistical convergence, uniform statistical convergence etc., turned out to be the particular cases of Z-convergence. For more details on Z-convergence and its several generalizations, [8], [12], [16], [18] can be addressed, where many more references can be found.

On the other hand, the notion of Z*-convergence was further extended in 2011 to Z^-convergence by M. Macaj and M. Sleziak [15]. It should be mentioned that Z*-convergence of a sequence x = (xk) was defined in terms of usual convergence of the subsequence (xmk), where M = {m\ < m2 < ... < m-k < • • • } is an element of the associated filter T(Z). But in the case of Z^-convergence, that usual convergence was replaced by ^-convergence, where K is another ideal. The involvement of two ideals at the same point of time makes this concept more complicated and more interesting. Over the last few years, the study of Z^-convergence of sequences has got much attention from researchers and the research carried out so far shows a strong analogy in the behavior of Z^-convergence of sequences. The relation between Z and Z^-convergence can be found in works by Das et. al. [4] and Macaj and Sleziak [15]. In [5], [6], Das et. al. introduced and investigated ZK-convergence of sequence of function and Z^-Cauchy functions. For more details on -convergence, see [7], where many more references can be found.

When studying some new notion of convergence of sequences, several closely related concepts occur quite naturally, such as cluster points, supre-mum, infimum, limit superior, limit inferior, etc. In this paper, our aim is to introduce ZK-analogue of the above concepts and investigate some fundamental properties.

2. Definitions and preliminaries.

Definition 1. [13] Let X be a non-empty set. A family of subsets Z C P (X) is called an ideal in X if

(i) for every A,B e Z we have A U B e Z;

(ii) for every A e Z and B C A we have B e Z.

An ideal Z is called non-trivial if Z = 0 and X e Z. A non-trivial ideal Z C P(X) is called an admissible ideal in X if and only if Z D {{^} : x e X}. Some standard examples of ideals are given below:

(i) The set Zf of all finite subsets of N is an admissible ideal in N.

(ii) The set Z^ of all subsets of natural numbers having natural density 0 is an admissible ideal in N.

(iii) The set Zc = [A C N: a 1 < is an admissible ideal in N.

oo

(iv) Suppose N = (J Dp be a decomposition of N (for i = j, Di H Dj = 0).

p=i

Then the set Z of all subsets of N, which intersects finitely many Dp's, forms an ideal in N.

More important examples can be found in [12].

Definition 2. [13] Let X be a non-empty set. A family of subsets T C P (X) is called a filter in X if

(i) for each A,B eT we have A H B e T;

(ii) for each A eT and B D A we have B eT.

The filter T = T(Z) = [X - A: A e Z} is called the filter associated with the ideal Z.

Remark 1. If Z and K are two ideals in N, then the set Z V £ = [A U B: A eZ ,B e £} forms an ideal in N. Further, if IVK is non-trivial, then the dual filter ofIV^ is denoted and defined by T(ZV£) = [M H N: M e T(Z),N e T(£)}.

Definition 3. [13] Let Z C P(N) be a non-trivial ideal in N. A real-valued sequence x = (x^) is said to be Z-convergent to x0 if the set [k e N: | Xk — x0 e} belongs to Z for each £ > 0. In this case, x0 is called the Z-limit of the sequence (xk) and is written as Z — lim x = x0.

Definition 4. [13] Let Z be an admissible ideal in N. A real-valued sequence x = (xk) is said to be Z* — convergent to x0, if there exists a set M = [m1 < m2 < ... < m-k < ...} in the associated filter T(Z), such that lim Xk = x0. In this case, x0 is called the I *-limit of the sequence

k£M

(xk) and is written as Z* — lim x = x0.

Definition 5. [15] Let Z and K be two ideals in N. A real-valued sequence x = (xk) is said to be ZK-convergent to x0 if there exists M e T (Z), such that the sequence y = (yk) defined by

xk, k e M, xo, k e M

is IC-convergent to x0. In this case, x0 is called the ZK-limit of the sequence (xk) and is written as ZK — lim x = x0.

When K = Zf, then Z^-convergence concept coincides with Z*-convergence [13].

Definition 6. [2] A real number I is said to be an X lower bound of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if

{kE N: xk ^ 1}eT(X) (or {k E N: xk <1}eX).

The set of all X lower bound of the sequence x = (xk) is denoted by Lx(x).

Theorem 1. [2] If I E R is a usual lower bound of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), then I is also an X lower bound of the sequence x.

Definition 7. [2] A real number t is said to be the X-infimum of the real-valued sequence x = (xk) if t is the supremum of Lx(x). In other words,

X — inf x = sup Lx (z).

Definition 8. [2] A real number u is said to be an X upper bound of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if

{k E N: xk ^ u} E T(X) (or {k E N: xk > u} E X).

The set of all X upper bounds of the sequence x = (xk) is denoted by Ux (x).

Definition 9. [2] A real number s is said to be the X-supremum of the real-valued sequence x = (xk) if s is the infimum of Ux(x). In other words,

X — sup x = inf Ux (x).

Theorem 2. [2] Let x = (xk) be any real-valued sequence. Then

inf x ^ X — inf x ^ X — sup x ^ sup x.

Definition 10. [2] (a) Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence. Then the X— limit inferior is denoted and defined by

X — lim inf x = X — sup v,

where v = (vk) is the sequence defined by vk = X — inf {xn,xn+\,...}.

(b) Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence. Then the X—limit superior is denoted and defined by

X — lim sup x = X — inf w, where w = (wk) is the sequence defined by wk = X — sup{xra, xn+l,...}.

Definition 11. [13] A real number 7 is said to be an X-cluster point of a sequence x = (xk) if for any £ > 0

{kE N: lxk — 71 < e} E X

holds.

3. Main results. Throughout the article, X, K, and X V K denotes the non-trivial admissible ideal in N.

Definition 12. A real number I is said to be an X* lower bound of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if there exists M = {m\ < m2 < ... < mk < ...} E T(X), such that I is an usual lower bound of the subsequence (xmk).

The set of all X* lower bounds of the sequence x = (xk) is denoted by Lx * (x).

Definition 13. A real number t is said to be the X*-infimum of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if t is the supremum of Lx* (x). In other words,

X* — inf x = sup Lx* (x).

Definition 14. A real number u is said to be an X* upper bound of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if there exists M = {m\ < m2 < • • • < mk < • • •} E T(X), such that u is an usual upper bound of the subsequence (xmk).

The set of all X* upper bounds of the sequence x = (xk) is denoted by Ux* (x).

Definition 15. A real number s is said to be the X*-supremum of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if s is the infimum of Ux* (x). In other words,

X* — sup x = inf Ux* (x). Theorem 3. For any real-valued sequence x = (xk),

X* — inf x ^ X — inf x ^ X — sup x ^ X* — sup x.

Proof. We first prove that the inclusions Lx* (x) C Lx(x) and Ux* (x) C Ux(x) hold for the sequence x. Let I E Lx* (x). Then, by definition, there exists M = {m\ < m2 < ... < mk < ...} E T(X), such that I is an usual lower bound of (xmk). In other words, xmk ^ I for any k E N. But then the inclusion

{kE N: xk ^ 1} = M U{kE N \ M : xk ^ 1} D M

holds and, subsequently, [k e N: xk ^ /} e T(Z). Hence, I e Lx(x) and the first inclusion is established. Applying a similar technique, the second inclusion can be obtained. Now the inclusions Lx* (x) C Lx(x) and Ux* (x) C Ux(x) and Theorem 2 altogether give

Z* — inf x ^ Z — inf x ^ Z — sup x ^ Z* — sup x.

Definition 16. A real number I is said to be an Z^ lower bound of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if there exists M = [m1 < m2 < • • • < mk < • • • } e T(Z), such that I is an K lower bound of the sequence y = (yk) defined by

xk k e M, I k /M.

The set of all ZK lower bounds of the sequence x = (xk) is denoted by Lx^ (x).

Definition 17. A real number t is said to be the Z^-infimum of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if t is the supremum of Lxk (x). In other words,

Z^ — inf x := sup Lxk (x).

Definition 18. A real number u is said to be an upper bound of the real-valued sequence x = (xk), if there exists M = [m1 < m2 < • • • < mk < • • • } e T(Z), such that u is an K upper bound of the sequence y = (yk) defined by

xk k e M, u k/M.

The set of all ZK upper bounds of the sequence x = (xk) is denoted by Ux>c (x).

Definition 19. A real number s is said to be the Z^-supremum of the real-valued sequence x = (xk) if s is the infimum of Uxk (x). In other words,

Z^ — sup x := inf Uxic (x).

Theorem 4. (i) Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence, such that I e Lxk (x). If I' < I, then I' e Lxk (x);

(ii) Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence, such that u E Uxk (x). If u' > u, then u' E Uxk (x).

Proof. (i) Let I E Lxk (x). Then there exists M = [m\ < m2 < ... < mk < ...} E T(X), such that I E L^(y), where y = (yk) is the sequence defined by

xk, k E M, I, k/M.

This implies {k E N: yk ^ 1} E T(K). Now, since I' < I by the assumption, the inclusion

{k E N: yk > I'} D{kE N: yk > 1}

holds, and, consequently, {k E N: yk ^ I'} E T (K), i.e., I' E Lxk (x). This completes the proof.

(ii) The proof can be obtained by applying a similar technique. □

Corollary 1. (i) Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence, such that I E Lx* (x). If I' < I, then I' E Lx* (x);

(ii) Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence, such that u E Ux* (x). If u' > u, then u' E Ux* (x) .

Theorem 5. For any real-valued sequence x = (xk),

X* — inf x ^ XK — inf x ^ XK — sup x ^ X* — sup x. Proof. To prove the theorem, we prove the following three inequalities:

iНе можете найти то, что вам нужно? Попробуйте сервис подбора литературы.

X* — inf x ^ XK — inf x, (1)

XK — inf x ^ XK — sup x, (2)

and

XK — sup x ^ X* — sup x. (3)

To prove (1), let I E Lx* (x). Then, by definition, there exists M = {m\ < m2 < ... < mk < ...} E T(X), such that I is an usual lower bound of (xmk). In other words, I E L(y), where y = (yk) is defined by

xk, k E M, I, k/M.

Therefore, by Theorem 1, we have I G L^(y). This implies I G Lxk (x). Hence, we have Lx* (x) C Lxk (x) and, consequently, (1) holds.

To prove (2), assume the contrary. Then there exist some I' G Lxk (x) and u' G Uxk (x), such that u' < I'. But then, by Theorem 4, I' G Uxk (x), which is a contradiction.

The proof of (3) is analogous to that of (1), so omitted. Combining (1), (2), and (3) we obtain the desired inequality. □

Corollary 2. For any real-valued sequence x = (xk):

inf x ^ K — inf x ^ X^ — inf x ^ X^ — sup x ^ K — sup x ^ sup x.

Proof. We omit the proof as it can be easily obtained by combining Theorem 2, Theorem 5, and considering M = N from T(X). □

Theorem 6. Let XVK be a non-trivial ideal in N and x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence. Then:

(i) if x is a monotonic increasing sequence, then XK — inf x = X* — sup x;

(ii) if x is monotonic decreasing, then X^ — sup x = X* — inf x.

Proof. (i) We divide the entire proof into considering two cases. Case-I: X* — sup x < ro

Suppose X* — sup x = s. Then there exists some M = [m\ < m2 < ... < m-k < ...} G T(X), such that xmk ^ s holds for all k G N. This implies

M C{kG N: xk ^ s}. (4)

Also, for any e > 0, there exists k0 G N, such that xmko > s — e. We claim that s G Lxic (x). Otherwise, if s G Lxk (x), then there exists N = {n\ < n2 < ... <nk <...}, such that s G L^(y), where y = (yk) is the sequence defined by

Xk, k G N, s, kG N.

In other words, {k G N: Xk ^ s} G T(^). Now, as the inclusion

{k G N: xk > s} C {k G N: xk > s}

holds, we have {k G N: Xk ^ s} G T(£). Consequently, from (4), we have N \ M G T(^). Now M G T(X) and N \ M G Ttogether yield

M n (N \ M) G T(X VK), i. e., 0 G T(X V K), which is a contradiction. This proves our claim. Now, let e > 0 be arbitrary. Then we have

{kGM : xk < s — e} Ç{kG M : xk < xmkQ} Ç {1, 2,...,mko}.

Since K is admissible, so {1,2,...,mko} G K and, as a consequence, {kGM : xk < s — e} G K,, i. e., s — e G Lxk (x). Therefore, by Theorem 4, we obtain Lxk (x) = (—œ, s — ej. Hence, XK — inf x = sup Lxk (x) = s. Case-II: X* — sup x = œ

If X* — sup x = œ, then, for any l G R, there exists M = {m\ < m2 < ... < mk < ...} G T(X), such that xmko ^ I for some k0 G N. Now, since x is monotonic increasing, xmko ^ xk for all k ^ mko. Thus, for all k ^ mko, we have xk ^ I. Eventually, {k G N : xk < 1} Ç {1, 2,...,mko} G K, i.e., I G Lfc(x), which further implies that l G Lxk(x). Now, since I is arbitrary, Lxk (x) = (—œ, œ). Hence, XK — inf x = sup Lxk (x) = œ. (ii) The proof is analogous to that of (i), so omitted. □

Theorem 7. Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence and t G R be fixed. Then XK — inf x = t if and only if for every £ > 0 there exists M G T(X), such that

{k E M: xk <t — £} EK and {k E M: xk ^ t + £} E T (K).

Proof. Suppose XK — inf x = t. Then, for any I E Lxk (x), I ^ t and for any e > 0, there exists I' E Lxk (x), such that t — £ < I'. So, by Theorem 4(i), t — £ E Lxk (x). This implies that there exists a set M E T(X), such that {k E N: yk < t — £} E K, where y = (yk) is defined as

xk, k E M, t — £, k/M.

Therefore, {k E M : xk <t — £} E K holds.

Now, to prove {k E M: xk ^ t + £} E T(K), we assume the contrary. Then there exists some £0 > 0, such that for any M E T(X) {k E M: xk ^ t + e0} E T(K). In particular, if we take M = N, then we have t + £0 E LK(x) and, consequently, t + £0 E Lxk (x), which is a contradiction to the fact that t = sup Lxk (x).

To prove the converse part, assume that Ve > 0 there exists M E T(X): {k EM: xk < t — £} E K. and {k E M: xk ^ t + £} E T (K). Then we

have t — e G Lxk (x) and t + £ G Lxk (x). Therefore, Lxk (x) = (—ro,t — e). Now, since £ is arbitrary, we have

X^ — inf x = sup Lxic (x) = t.

This completes the proof. □

Corollary 3. Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence and s G E be fixed. Then X^ — sup x = s if and only if for every £ > 0 there exists M G T(X), such that

{k G M: xk > s + £} G K and {k G M: xfc ^ s — e} G T(£).

Proof. The proof is similar to that of Theorem 7, so it is omitted here. □

Theorem 8. For a real-valued sequence x = (xk), X^ — limx = x0 if and only if XK — inf x = x0 = XK — sup x.

Proof. Let XK — lim X - X§. Then there exists a set M = {m\ < m2 <

... < mk < ...} G T (X), such that for any £ > 0, {k G M: lxk — xo| ^ £} G This implies {fc G M: > x0 + e} G i.e., xo + e G f/XK(x) and {fc G M: < x0 — e} G i.e., x0 — £ G Lxk(x). By Theorem 4, we have Uxk (x) = (x0, ro) and Lxk (x) = (—ro,x0), which further gives

X^ — inf x = sup Lxk (x) = x0 = inf UXic (x) = X^ — sup x.

For the converse part, let X^ — infx = x0 = X^ — sup x. Then sup Lxk (x) = x0 = inf f/XK (x). Then, by definition of the usual supre-mum and infimum, for any £ > 0 there exists I G Lxk (x) and u G Uxk (x), such that x0 — £ < I and x0+£ > u. Now, I G Lxk (x) and u G Uxk (x) imply the existence of two sets M', M" G T(X), such that {k G M': xk < /} G K and {k G M": xk > u} G Let M denote the set M' n M''. Then M G T(X) and, since x0 — £< I and x0 + £ > u hold, by the hereditary property of K we have:

{k G M: xk ^ x0 — £} C {k G M: xfc < /} C {fc g M': xfc < /} G £,

and

{k G M: xfc ^ x0 + e} C {fc g M: xk > u} C {fc G M": xfc > «} G

Consequently,

{k G M: lxk—x0l ^ e} = {k G M: xk ^ x0—e}U{k G M: xk ^ x0+e} G K. Hence, XK — limx = x0. □

Corollary 4. Let x = (x^) be a real-valued sequence, such that K — inf x = x0 = K — sup x. Then, XK — limx = x0.

Proof. The proof follows directly from Corollary 2 and Theorem 8, so omitted. □

Theorem 9. Let x = (xk) and y = (yk) be two real-valued sequences, such that there exists a set M G T(X) satisfying {k G M: xk = } G K. Then

XK — inf x = X^ — inf y and X^ — sup x = X^ — sup y.

Proof. We only prove the first part, i.e., X^ — infx = X^ — infy. The proof of the second part can be obtained by applying a similar technique.

Let the given conditions hold and suppose I G Lxk (x) be arbitrary. Then, by definition, there exists N G T(X), such that {k G N: xk < 1} G K,. Consequently,

{k G M n N: yk <1} = = {k G M n N: xk = yfc,yk <l}U{kGM n N: xfc = yfc,yk < 1} C

C {fc G M: xfc = yk} U {fc G N: xfc < /} G

From the above inclusion, it is clear that {fc G M n N: yk < 1} G K,. Since M n N G T(X), we have I G Lxk (y). This proves that Lxk (x) C Lxk (y). Similarly, one can establish LXic (y) C LXic (x). Hence, LXic (x) = LXic (y) holds and, finally, sup Lxk (x) = sup Lxk (y), i.e., XK — inf x = XK — inf y. □

Theorem 10. Let x = (xk) and y = (yk) be two real-valued sequences. Then:

(i) XK — inf(x + y) = XK — inf x + XK — inf y;

(ii) XK — sup(x + y) = XK — sup x + XK — sup y.

Proof. (i) Let X^—inf x = and X^ — inf y = . Then, by Theorem 7, for any e > 0 there exists M,N G T(X), such that {k G M: xfc < — §} G 1C and {k G ^: yk <ty — |} G^. Now, as the inclusion

[keM n N: xk + yk< (tx + ty) - e] C

C {keM: xk <tx - U {ke N: yk < ty -

holds and M n N e T(X), [k e M n N: xk + yk < (tx + ty) - e] e K and, consequently, XK - inf(x + y) = tx + ty = X^ - inf x + X^ - inf y. This completes the proof.

(ii) The proof is similar to that of (i), so omitted. □

Definition 20. A real number 7 is said to be the X^-cluster point of a real-valued sequence x = (xk) if there exists M = [m\ < m2 <.. .< mk < ...] e T(X), such that 7 is a ^-cluster point of the subsequence (xmk).

The set of all X^-cluster points of a real-valued sequence x = (xk) is denoted by XK - (rx).

Theorem 11. Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence, such that XK -sup x and XK - inf x are finite. Then, XK - sup x e XK - (rx) and XK - inf xe XK - (rx).

Proof. Le^ X^ - sup x = inf ujk. (x) = s. Then, by definition of the usual infimum, for any e > 0 there exists t0 e (x), such that s ^ t0 < s + e. Consequently, there exists M e T (X), such that [keM: xk > t0] e K. Now, as the inclusion

[keM: xk ^ s + e] C[keM: xk > to]

holds,

[keM: xk ^ S + e]e1C. (5)

Again, s = inf uxk (x) gives s - £ e (x), which further implies

[keM: xk > s - e] e (6)

Now, since the following relation

[k e M: xk > s - e] = [keM: s - £ < xk < s + e]U[k e M: xk ^ s+e]

holds, from (5) and (6) we have [keM: s - £ < xk < s + e] e i.e.,

s e XK - (rx). This completes the proof of the first part.

Applying a similar technique, we can show that XK - inf x e XK - (rx). □

Definition 21. (a) Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence. Then X^-limit inferior is denoted and defined by

XK - lim inf x = XK - sup v,

where v = (vk) is the sequence defined by = XK — inf {xn,xn+\,...}.

n'k

(b) Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence. Then XK—limit superior is denoted and defined by

X^ — lim sup x = X^ — inf w,

where w = (wk) is the sequence defined by Wk = XK — sup{xra, xn+1,...}.

n'k

Corollary 5. Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence. Then:

(i) if Vk = XK — inf {xn, xn+\,...} for all n G N, then v = (vk) is a constant

n'k

sequence and Vk = XK — inf x;

(ii) if Wk = XK — sup{xn,xn+\,...} for all n G N, then w = (wk) is a

n'k

constant sequence and Wk = XK — sup x.

Proof. The proof of (i) and (ii) are easy, so omitted. □

Corollary 6. Let x = (xk) be a real-valued sequence. Then:

X^ — lim inf x = X^ — inf x and X^ — lim sup x = X^ — sup x.

Proof. The proof is omitted as it can be easily obtained from the Definition 21 and Corollary 5. □

Corollary 7. Let x = (xk) and y = (yk) be two real-valued sequences. Then:

(i) X^ — lim inf x ^ X^ — lim sup x;

(ii) lim inf x ^ K — lim inf x ^ X^ — lim inf x ^

^ XK — lim sup x ^ K — lim sup x ^ lim sup x;

(iii) X^ — lim inf (x + y) = X^ — lim inf x + X^ — lim inf y;

(iv) XK — lim sup(x + y) = XK — lim sup x + XK — lim sup y.

4. Conclusion. In this paper, we investigated the notions of -supremum, X^-infimum, X^-limit superior, and X^-limit inferior for a real-valued sequence x = (xk), and presented some interrelationships between these notions. Theorem 7 and Corollary 3 give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a real number to become X^-infimum and

XK -supremum, respectively, of a real-valued sequence. Theorem 8 gives the necessary and sufficient condition regarding the X^-convergence of a real-valued sequence. Theorem 11 proves the inclusion of the numbers - sup x and XK - inf x in the set XK - (rx). The obtained results may be helpful for future researchers to explore the notion of X^-convergence in more detail.
