Certain sets IA, and properties E, E' have been defined for the summability domain CA of a matrix A. We maJce corresponding definitions for the absolute summability domain ^A-We show that for CA, E and E' are equivalent, and that if either IA or A^ is invariant they both are, and then IA = A;;^ = CA-AMS 1980 Classification 40H05. DEFINITIONS. We use ip, c, m respectively for the set of finitely non-zero sequences, convergent sequences and bounded sequences, and 7, £ respectively for the set of sequences (xfc) with Exfc convergent, S|sfc| convergent. liA = (a"fc) is an infinite matrix and x = (xk) a sequence, we write {Ax)" = Ejta"fcXit if this exists, Ax = ((Ax)") and £A = '• Ax G i}.We do not need to assume £A D I, but we assume throughout that £A D f, that is, the columns of A belong to £. We denote the colunrn sums S"a"fc by ak and similarly for matrices denoted by other letters. We write e* = (0,0,..., 0,1,0,...) (1 in the Ä;-th place).It is known that £A can be made into an FK space and that any f G. £'A, the continuous Brought to you by | University of Pennsylvania Authenticated Download Date | 7/21/15 8:45 PM
