Lacunary statistical convergence of difference sequences of fractional order

The idea of statistical convergence was given by Zygmund [1] in the first edition of his monograph published in Warsaw in 1935. Over the years and under different names statistical convergence was discussed in the theory of Fourier analysis, Ergodic theory, Number theory, Measure theory, Trigonometric series, Turnpike theory and Banach spaces. In this study we introduce the concepts of ??- lacunary statistical convergence with the fractional order of ?, ? ? R and ??- lacunary strongly convergence with the fractional order of ?, ? ? R, and examine some properties of these sequence spaces. We also establish some connections between ??- lacunary strongly convergence of fractional order of ? and ?? -lacunary statistical convergence of fractional order of ?
