Definition and notationsWe write throughout s for a sequence s n of real or complex numbers. We write ∞ and c, respectively, for the Banach spaces of bounded and convergent sequences normed, as usual by s = sup n |s n |. Lorentz [12] defined s ∈ ∞ to be almost convergent if and only if it has unique Banach limit, and proved that s is almost convergent to p if and only if (1.1) d m,n = d m,n (s) = 1 m + 1 m X i=0 s n+i tends to limit p as m → ∞, uniformly in n, (see also [3]).We denote the set of all almost convergent sequences by b c. The concept of absolute almost convergence was first introduced by Das (British Mathematical Colloquium, 1968) and later published by Das, Kuttner and Nanda [6] as follows:Given an infinite series P ∞ n=0 a n which we shall denote by a, let s n = a 0 + a 1 + · · · + a n .
