Operators Between Sequence Spaces and Applications

This book presents modern methods in functional analysis and operator theory along with their applications in recent research. The book also deals with the solvability of infinite systems of linear equations in various sequence spaces. It uses the classical sequence spaces, generalized Cesaro and difference operators to obtain calculations and simplifications of complicated spaces involving these operators. In order to make it self-contained, comprehensive and of interest to a larger mathematical community, the authors have presented necessary concepts with results for advanced research topics. This book is intended for graduate and postgraduate students, teachers and researchers as a basis for further research, advanced lectures and seminars.
