On the inclusion of a bounded convergence field in the space of almost convergent sequences

Abstract

Let T = (tmn) be a regular matrix, and CTbe its bounded convergence field. Necessary and sufficient conditions for CT to contain the space of almost convergent sequences are well known. (See, e.g., [7, p.62]). G. M. Petersen has suggested as a problem for research the discovery of necessary and sufficient conditions for the reverse inclusion: When is CT contained in the space of almost convergent sequences? [7, p. 137, research problem 9]. In this paper we deal with this question in a more general context. First we need some notation.
