Abstract.

The main purpose of this article is to introduce the concepts of almost -statistical convergence and strongly almost -convergence of order of sequences of fuzzy numbers with respect to an Orlicz function. We give some relations between strongly almost -convergence and almost -statistical convergence of order of sequences of fuzzy numbers.

1. Introduction

The concept of fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh [1]. Matloka [2] introduced sequences of fuzzy numbers and provided that every convergent sequence of fuzzy numbers is bounded. Recently, sequences of fuzzy numbers have been discussed by Altınok et al. [3, 4], Aytar and Pehlivan [5], Çolak et al. [6, 7], Gökhan et al. [8], Nuray [9], and Talo and Başar [10].

The idea of statistical convergence was introduced by Fast [11] and the notion was linked with summability theory by Alotaibi et al. [12], Connor [13], Et et al. [14, 15], Fridy [16], Işık [17], Mohiuddine et al. [18, 19], and Tripathy [20]. Recently, the notion was generalized by Gadjiev and Orhan [21], Çolak [22], and Çolak and Bektaş [23].

In this paper, we study the concepts of and examine some properties of almost -statistical convergence and strongly almost -convergence of order of sequences of fuzzy numbers. The results which we obtained in this study are much more general than those obtained by Başarır et al. [24].

2. Definitions and Preliminaries

A fuzzy set on is called a fuzzy number if it has the following properties:

(i) is normal;(ii) is fuzzy convex;(iii) is upper semicontinuous;(iv) is compact, where cl denoted the closure of the enclosed set.

A sequence of fuzzy numbers is a function from the set of all positive integers into , where is fuzzy number space. A sequence is said to be bounded if the set is bounded. A sequence is said to be convergent if there exists a positive integer such that for , for every . By , , and we denote the set of , , and sequences of fuzzy numbers, respectively [2].

An Orlicz function is a function , which is continuous, nondecreasing, and convex with , for , and as .

The generalized de la Vallée-Pousion mean is defined by , where is a nondecreasing sequence of positive numbers such that , , and as and .

The space was introduced by Lorentz [25] and Maddox [26] has defined to be strongly almost convergent to a number if , uniformly in .

Definition 1. Let be as above, let be an Orlicz function, let be any sequence of strictly positive real numbers, and let be given. A sequence is said to be almost -statistically convergent of order to , with respect to the Orlicz function , if for every

where

The set of all almost -statistically convergent sequences of order with respect to the Orlicz function will be denoted by . In this case we write . In the special case , for all we will write instead of and in the special case for all and we will write instead of . If we take , then we obtain the set of all almost -statistically convergent sequence . If for all then we will write instead of .

Definition 2. Let be as above, let be an Orlicz function, let be any sequence of strictly positive real numbers, and let be given. We define the following sets:

If , we say that is strongly almost -convergent of order with respect to the Orlicz function . In this case we write .

(i)If we take for all , then we get , , and .(ii)If we take and for all , then we get , , and .(iii)If we take and for all , then we get , , and .
