Sequence Spaces with Oscillating Properties

In this note we consider various types of oscillating properties for a sequence spaceEbeing motivated by an oscillating property introduced by Snyder and by recent papers dealing with theorems of Mazur–Orlicz type and gliding hump properties. Our main tools, two summability theorems, allow us to identify two such oscillating properties for a sequence spaceEone of which provides a sufficient condition forEFto implyEW_Fwhile the other affords a sufficient condition forEFto implyES_F. HereFis anyL-space, a class of spaces which includes the class of separable FK-spaces,S_Fdenotes the elements ofFhaving sectional convergence, andW_Fdenotes the elements ofFhaving weak sectional convergence. This, in turn, is applied to yield improvements on some other theorems of Mazur–Orlicz type and to obtain a general consistency theorem. Furthermore, combining the above observations with the work of Bennett and Kalton we obtain the first oscillating property on a sequence spaceEas a sufficient condition forE^β, the β-dual ofE, to be σ(E^β, E) sequentially complete whereas the second assures both the weak sequential completeness ofE^βand the AK-property forEwith the Mackey topology of the dual pair (E, E^β).
