1. Introduction
1.1. Background
In the studies on the sequence space, creating a new sequence space and research on its properties have been important. Some researchers examined the algebraic properties of the sequence space while others investigated its place among other known spaces and its duals, and characterized the matrix transformations on this space.
One way to create a new sequence space in addition to standard sequence space is to use the domain of infinite matrices. In 1978, Ng-Lee [
1] studied the domain of an infinite matrix. In the same year, Wang [
2] constructed a new sequence space using an infinite matrix, unlike the infinite matrix used by Ng-Lee. These studies have been followed by many researchers such as Malkovsky [
3], Altay, and Başar [
4]. This topic was first studied in the 1970s but rather intensively after 2000.
1.2. Problem of Interest
The theory of infinite matrices was formulated by the book “Infinite Matrices and Sequence Spaces” written by Cooke [
5]. After the publication of this book in 1950, many researchers have used infinite matrices over the years. In some of these studies, the domain of infinite matrices on a sequence space was investigated. One problem is that we do not know the properties of the domain of the Nörlund matrix, which is a trianglular infinite matrix on
bs and
cs. The domain of the Nörlund matrix is a new sequence space. We intend to address algebraic properties of this new space, to determine its place among other known spaces, to determine its duals, and to characterize the matrix transformations on this space and into this space. Our aim is to provide solutions to these problems.
One difficulty of this study is to determine whether the new space created by the infinite matrix is the contraction or the expansion or overlap of the original space. Also, we have a matrix mapping problem where we must determine the collection of infinite matrices for which the map is a sequence space into another sequence space. We intend to address the first problem by giving a few inclusion theorems, similar to previous studies. For the second problem, we provide two theorems and use the matrix transformation between the standard sequences spaces.

37] worked on the domain of the Nörlund matrix in some Maddox’s spaces. Yaşar and Kayaduman [
38] introduced and investigated sequence spaces
and
using the domain of the Generalized Fibonacci matrix on
bs and
cs. Furthermore, Mears [
39,
40] introduced some theorems and the inverse of the Nörlund matrix for the Nörlund mean.
1.4. Scope and Contribution
In this paper, we conduct studies on the sequence space such as topological properties, inclusion relations, base, duals, and matrix transformation. We provide certain tools to researchers by using the concept of sequence spaces directly or indirectly.
We will use a method similar to the ones used in previous studies to solve these problems. We see in the previous studies that the new sequence space produced from original space is a linear space. The same is true for the spaces we produced. At the same time, spaces produced are normed spaces and Banach spaces. In general, the spaces produced and original spaces were found to be isomorphic. The spaces produced in some studies were the expansion of the original space while the others involved some overlap. For example, the space produced in the study of Yaşar and Kayaduman [
38] is an expansion, while in this study, the space is a contraction. In this study, alpha, beta, and gamma duals of the spaces produced are available. However, the spaces produced in some previous studies do not have all the duals.
In addition, we try to close the existing deficits in the field the domain of the Nörlund matrix on classical sequence spaces.

2. Mathematical Background
The set of all real-valued sequences is indicated by w. By a sequence space, we understand that it is a linear subspace of w. The symbols and are called sequence spaces bounded, convergent to zero, convergent, absolutely p-summable, bounded series, convergent series, series converging to zero, bounded variation, and absolutely convergent series, respectively.
Now let’s give descriptions of some sequence spaces.
We indicate the set of natural numbers including 0 by ℕ. The class of the non-empty and finite subsets of ℕ is denoted by .
We will transfer the matrix transformation between sequence spaces. Let
A = (
ank) be an infinite matrix for every
n,
k ℕ, where
ank is a real number.
A is defined as a matrix transformation from
X to
Y if, for every
x = (
xk)
X, sequence
Ax = {
An(
x)} is an
A-transform of
x and in
Y; where
Here, the series converges for every n ℕ in Equation (1).
In Equation (1), although the limit of the summation is are not written, it is from 0 to ∞, and we will use it for the rest of the article. The family of all the matrix transformations from X to Y is denoted by (X,Y).
Let
λ and
K be an infinite matrix and a sequence space, respectively. Then, the matrix domain,
λK, which is a sequence space is defined by:
Let
A and
B be linear spaces over the same scalar field. A map
f:
A→
B is called linear if:
for all scalars
a,
b and all
x1,
x2 A. An isomorphism
f:
A→
B is a bijective linear map. We say that
A and
B are isomorphic if there is an isomorphism
f:
A→
B.
A normed space is (A, ‖.‖) consisting of a linear space A and a norm ‖.‖:A→ℝ such that ‖a‖ = 0; ‖μa‖ = |μ|‖a‖ for each scalar μ and each a A; ‖a + b‖ ≤ ‖a‖ + ‖b‖ for each a,b A.
A Banach space is (A, ‖.‖), a complete normed linear space, where completeness means that for every sequence (an) in A with ‖am − an‖→0 (m,n→∞), there exists a A such that ‖an − a‖→0 (n→∞).
Let us define the Schauder basis of A normed space. Let a sequence (ak) A. There exists only one sequence of scalars (vk) such that and . Then, (ak) is called a Schauder basis for A.
Let
R be a sequence space.
α-,
β-, and
γ-duals
and
of
are defined respectively, as:
Let us give almost-convergent sequences space. This was first defined by Lorentz [
41]. Let
a = (
ak)
l∞. Sequence
a is almost convergent to limit α if and only if
uniformly in
n. By
f-lim
a = α, we indicate sequence
a is almost convergent to limit α. The sequence spaces
f and
f0 are:
Lemma 1. [35] Let δ and μ be a subspace of w. Then,if, and only if,, where: Lemma 2. [35] Let δ and μ be a subspace of w and let the infinite matrices beand. Ifandare connected with the relation:then,if, and only if,.

. In that case,such that μ is any sequence space. Now, we take a non-negative real sequence (
tk) with
tk > 0 and
for all
n ℕ. The Nörlund mean according to
t = (
tk) is defined by the matrix
as:
The inverse matrix

t0 =
D0 = 1 and

35] have not investigated whether the space was the expansion or the contraction or overlap of the original space. However, it is determined to be the overlap in our study. Tuğ [
47] defined and investigated a new sequence space as the domain of the Nörlund matrix in the space of all the sequences of the bounded variation. In our study, we determined that it is an expansion.
We introduced new sequence spaces,

We realize that these spaces are linear and have normed spaces with the same norm and Banach spaces as the convenient norm. The pairs , and , are isomorphic as normed spaces. Also, holds. At the same time, , ; , ; , ; and , have an overlap, but neither of them contains the other. It was determined that they have α-, β-, and γ-duals. Finally, we found some matrix transformations related to these new spaces.
