Abstract
The concept of summability is crucial in deriving formal solutions to partial differential equations. This paper explores the connection between the methods of statistical convergence of sequences and statistical Cesàro summability in intuitionistic fuzzy n-normed linear space (IFnNLS). While the existing literature covers Cesàro summability and its statistical variant in fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, and classical normed spaces, this study stands out not only for its methodology but also for its comprehensive approach, encompassing a broader range of spaces and detailing the pathway from the statistical Cesàro summability method to statistical convergence. These results will lead us to Tauberian theorems in IFnNLS.

1. Introduction
Zadeh’s concept of fuzzy set theory [1] has been applied across diverse mathematical areas, including approximation theory [2], the theory of functions [3,4], and metric and topological spaces [5,6,7]. Moreover, this theory finds extensive use in quantum physics [8], chaos control [9], computer programming [10], population dynamics [11], and nonlinear dynamical systems [12].
Katsaras [13] originally introduced the concept of a fuzzy norm, which has since been refined by various authors from different perspectives [7,8,14,15,16]. The idea of an IFnNLS [17] naturally extends the intuitionistic fuzzy normed space introduced by Saadati and Park [18].
In this paper, our objective is to put forward the idea of statistical summability theory within an IFnNLS. To achieve this goal, we introduce the concepts of Cesàro and statistical Cesàro summability. These concepts pave the way for future investigations into associated Tauberian theorems in an IFnNLS context.
Our findings rely on the definition of sequence convergence in IFnNLS, for which a new and precise definition was proposed in prior works by Debnath and Sen [19,20]. The current results are built upon this refined definition.
For classical counterparts of the results discussed here, we refer to works such as Asama et al. [21], Dutta and Rhoades [22], Talo and Yavuz [23], and their respective literature reviews.
Very recently, some significant Tauberian theorems have been studied by Onder et al. [24] and Debnath [25].
Existing Research Gaps and Novelty of the Current Work
One key contribution of this study is that it will help us to establish Tauberian conditions that facilitate the transition from statistical Cesàro summability to statistical convergence of sequences within the framework of IFnN . This research introduces novel techniques for proving associated theorems, which we hope will complement investigators in this field by both methodological approach and content.
The primary contributions of this research paper are to address the following inquiries:
1. What constitutes the sufficient and necessary condition for statistical Cesàro summability in regard to the IFnN ?
2. How can subsets of the sequence space included in an IFnNLS be identified such that a sequence statistically Cesàro summable with respect to the IFnN also converges in the same manner?
3. Can a proof be provided for the properties outlined in (1) and (2) regarding these related subsets?
These questions underscore the study’s focus on establishing rigorous conditions and techniques within summability theory, particularly concerning statistical Cesàro summability and convergence in IFnNLS.
2. Preliminaries
Researchers have already proven that a fuzzy metric and an intuitionistic fuzzy metric produce identical topologies [26]. In pursuit of significant and innovative results, mathematicians have slightly adjusted the definition of an intuitionistic fuzzy norm [27,28]. Building on this progress, Debnath and Sen have proposed a modified definition of an IFnNLS as follows [29,30]:
Definition 1.
The five-tuple is referred to as an IFnNLS, where V represents a vector space of dimension over the field (the field of reals), ∗ denotes a continuous t-norm, ∘ denotes a continuous t-conorm, and η and γ are fuzzy sets defined on . In this context, η signifies the degree of membership and γ denotes the degree of non-membership for elements . The following conditions hold for every and :
- (i)
- ;
- (ii)
- and for all positive r if and only if are linearly dependent;
- (iii)
- and are invariant under any permutation of ;
- (iv)
- and if ;
- (v)
- ;
- (vi)
- ;
- (vii)
- and are continuous in r;
- (viii)
- and ;
- (ix)
- and .
Definition 2
([19,20]). Let be an IFnNLS. A sequence in V is considered convergent to under the intuitionistic fuzzy n-norm (IFnN) if, for every , , and , there exists a natural number such that and for all . This convergence is denoted by or as .
Proposition 1
([31]). In an IFnNLS V, if and only if for every and , the conditions and hold as .
Definition 3
([19,20]). Let be an IFnNLS. A sequence in V is defined to be Cauchy with respect to the IFnN if, for every , and , there exists a natural number such that and for all .
Definition 4.
An IFnNLS V is said to be complete with respect to the IFnN if every Cauchy sequence in V converges.
Following Efe and Alaca [32], bounded sets in the context of IFnNLS are defined below.
Definition 5.
Let be an IFnNLS and B be any subset of V. The set B is said to be bounded if there exist and such that and for all .
The set B is said to be p-bounded if and , where
The next few definitions are related to the concept of statistical convergence.
Definition 6
([33]). Let P be a subset of . The natural density of P is defined by
whenever the limit exists, where signifies the cardinality of the set P.
Definition 7
([33]). A sequence of numbers is considered statistically convergent to the number l if, for every ,
In such instances, we denote this as .
Definition 8
([33]). The upper density of a subset P of the natural numbers is defined as
Definition 9
([20]). Let be an IFnNLS. A sequence in X is considered statistically convergent to in regard to the IFnN if, for every , and ,
It is denoted by .
From some established properties of the natural density and Definition 9, the following lemma were obtained by Debnath and Sen [20].
Lemma 1.
Let be an IFnNLS. Then, for every , and , the following statements are equivalent:
- (i)
- .
- (ii)
- .
- (iii)
- .
- (iv)
- .
- (v)
- .
The following lemmas will be used in the sequel.
Lemma 2
([34]). For every , we define , where denotes the greatest integer function. The following are true:
- (i)
- If , then for each with .
- (ii)
- If , then for each , where .
Lemma 3
([34]). The following statements are true:
- (i)
- If , then for each with , we have.
- (ii)
- If , then for each with , we have.
3. Statistical Cesàro summability in IFnNLS
First, we introduce the notion of Cesàro summability.
Definition 10
([25]). Let be a sequence in an IFnNLS . The arithmetic means of are defined as
is said to be Cesàro summable to if .
Further, is said to be statistically Cesàro summable to if .
The next theorem indicates the regularity of the statistical Cesàro summability method in an IFnNLS under p-boundedness of sequence.
Theorem 1.
Let be a p-bounded sequence in an IFnNLS . If converges statistically to , then is also statistically Cesàro summable to v with respect to IFnN .
Proof.
Let converges statistically to and consider it to be p-bounded.
Fix . Then, for a given , there exist such that
Clearly, and for all . This, in turn, implies the following inequalities:
and
for all .
Since is statistically convergent to v, using Lemma 1, we have that
for all , where
and
Define the sets , , and , such that , where denotes the cardinality of a set.
Thus, we may conclude that .
In view of the above information, we conclude that there exists a number such that
and
for all and . This implies that the set
contains finitely many terms at the maximum. Because a finite subset of the natural numbers has zero density, we observe that , which indicates that the sequence is statistically Cesàro summable to v in regard to the IFnN . □
Our next example exhibits that the converse of Theorem 1 need not hold true. This example is an improvement over the one constructed by Talo and Yavuz [23].
Example 1.
Let with
where for each and let , for all . Now, for all and , let us define and . Then is an IFnNLS.
Consider the sequence , where
for .
It can be noted that statistically Cesáro sums to 1 under the IFnN , but it is neither p-bounded nor statistically convergent under the same IFnN .
4. Additional Results Leading to Tauberian Theorems
The next lemma proves the additivity and homogeneity of the statistical limit in an IFnNLS. We omit the proof of the same as it can be obtained in an exactly similar manner as in [19,25,35,36].
Lemma 4.
Let be an IFnNLS and be sequences in V. Then, the following are true:
- (i)
- If the -statistical limit of x is ξ, and the -statistical limit of y is ρ, then the -statistical limit of the sum is .
- (ii)
- If the -statistical limit of x is ξ, and α is any real number, then the -statistical limit of is .
Theorem 2.
Let be an IFnNLS and be a sequence in V. If is a statistically Cesàro summable to v with respect to IFnN , then is statistically convergent to v for each , i.e.,
where such that is the greatest integer function.
Proof.
Suppose that . Then, for a sufficiently large N, given and fixed , define the following sets:
Now, we discuss the following cases.
Case I: .
It is easy to see that and for any . This implies the following:
and
Using the above inequalities, respectively, we can determine that
and
Since by hypothesis, is statistically convergent to , we obtain from Lemma 1 that
for any . Thus, for any , we have that
Therefore, using Lemma 1, we can prove that .
Case II: .
To complete the proof, first, we prove that the term does not appear more than times in the sequence . Suppose that for some , we have
or equivalently,
So, we have
which means that , i.e., . From this point of view, we obtain for each and that
and
for which N is sufficiently large, such that .
These consequently imply that
respectively.
Since is statistically convergent to v, we obtain from Lemma 1 that
for any . Thus, for any , we have that
Therefore, using Lemma 1, we have proven that in this case as well. □
Theorem 3.
Let be an IFnNLS and be a sequence in V. If is a statistically Cesàro summable to v with respect to IFnN . Then,
for each and
for each .
Proof.
Assume that . For a given , choose such that and . Then, for sufficiently large N and any , define the following sets:
Now, we discuss the following cases.
Case I: . For given and any , define the following sets:
where for all .
For any and sufficiently large such that with , we obtain from Lemma 3 for any and ,
and
where . Hence, we have for any ,
or equivalently,
Since is statistically convergent to , we have that
for any . Thus, is statistically convergent to v as well.
The above argument implies that . Consequently, we have
for any .
From the last four inequalities, we can conclude that
Thus, we have proven that
for each .
Case 2: .
For given and any , define the following sets:
where for all .
For any and sufficiently large such that with , we obtain from Lemma 3 for any and , that
and
where .
Hence, for any , we have
Since is statistically convergent to , we have that is statistically convergent to v as well.
The above argument implies that . Consequently, we have that
Thus, we have proven that
for each . □
5. Conclusions and Future Work
Summability theory holds a pivotal position in the study of partial differential equations. In this study, we introduced the concept of Cesàro summability in an IFnNLS, a highly general mathematical framework with both algebraic and analytic characteristics. Consequently, our findings on Cesàro summability extend and generalize numerous established theorems. A significant future direction is to demonstrate Tauberian theorems using our current results in an IFnNLS, highlighting their importance.
