Abstract
The concept of statistical convergence was presented by Steinhaus
(1951). This concept was extended to the double sequences by Mursaleen
and Edely (2003). In this paper, we de ne and study statistical analogue
of convergence and Cauchy for double sequences on intuitionistic fuzzy
normed spaces. Then we give a useful characterization for statistically
convergent double sequences. Furthermore, we display an example such
that our method of convergence is stronger than the usual convergence
for double sequences on intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces.
KEY WORDS: Natural double density, statistical convergence, con-
tinuous tnorm, continuous tconorm, intuitionistic fuzzy normed space.

1 Introduction
In 1965, the concept of fuzzy sets was introduced by Zadeh [29]. Then many
authors developed the theory of fuzzy set and applications. The fuzzy logic
has been used many elds, like metric and topological spaces [9] ; [10] ; [16] ; [19],
theory of functions [4] ; [18] ; [28] ; computer programing [17], econometrics and
other elds [1] ; [2] ; [3] ; [8] ; [20] ; [22] : Also, recently, the concepts of intuitionistic
fuzzy metric space has been studied by Park [23], and intuitionistic fuzzy normed
space have been studied by Saadati and Park [25] :
In this paper we give statistical analogues of convergence and Cauchy for
double sequences which studied in Mursaleen and Osama [21] on intuitionis-
tic fuzzy normed spaces:Also we display an example such that our method of
convergence is stronger than the usual convergence for double sequences on
intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces.
Now we recall some notations and de nitions which we used in the paper.

De nition 1 [26]A binary operation  : [0; 1]  [0; 1] ! [0; 1] is said to be a

continuous t norm if it satis es the following conditions:

1
378 KARAKUS-DEMIRCI

(a)  is associative and commutative,

(b)  is continuous,
(c) a  1 = a for all a 2 [0; 1];
(d) a  b  c  d whenever a  c and b  d for each a; b; c; d 2 [0; 1]:

Two typical examples of continuous t norm are a  b = ab and a  b =

min (a; b) for all a; b 2 [0; 1].

De nition 2 [26]A binary operation  : [0; 1]  [0; 1] ! [0; 1] is said to be a

continuous t conorm if it satis es the following conditions:

(a)  is associative and commutative,

(b)  is continuous,
(c) a  0 = a for all a 2 [0; 1];
(d) a  b  c  d whenever a  c and b  d for each a; b; c; d 2 [0; 1]:

Two typical examples of continuous t conorm are a  b = min (a + b; 1) and

a  b = max (a; b) for all a; b 2 [0; 1].
Now we give the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy normed space which has
recently introduced by Saadati and Park [25].

De nition 3 [25] The 5 tuple (V; ; ; ; ) is said to be an intuitionistic fuzzy

normed space (IFNS) if V is a vector space,  is a continuous t norm,  is a
continuous t conorm, and ;  fuzzy sets on V  (0; 1) satisfying the following
conditions for every x; y 2 V and s; t > 0 :

(a) (x; t) + (x; t)  1;

(b) (x; t) > 0;
(c) (x; t) = 1 if and only if x = 0;
 
(d) ( x; t) =  x; j t j for each 6= 0,

(e) (x; t)  (y; s)  (x + y; t + s);

(f ) (x;
) : (0; 1) ! [0; 1] is continuous,
(g) lim (x; t) = 1 and lim (x; t) = 0;
t!1 t!0

(h) (x; t) < 1;

(i) (x; t) = 0 if and only if x = 0;
 
(j) ( x; t) =  x; j t j for each 6= 0,

2
 STATISTICAL CONVERGENCE... 379

(k) (x; t)  (y; s)  (x + y; t + s);

(l) (x;
) : (0; 1) ! [0; 1] is continuous,
(m) lim (x; t) = 0 and lim (x; t) = 0:
t!1 t!0

In this case (; ) is called an intuitionistic fuzzy norm. We can give an

example as follow:
Let (V; k
k) be a normed space, and let a  b = ab and a  b = minfa + b; 1g
for all a; b 2 [0; 1]: If we de ne
t kxk
0 (x; t) := and  0 (x; t) := :
t + kxk t + kxk
for all x 2 V and every t > 0; then observe that (V; ; ; ; ) is an intuitionistic
fuzzy normed space.
Before we present the new de nitions and the main theorems, we shall recall
some concepts which we need.
By the convergence of a double sequence we mean the convergence in Pring-
1
sheim’s sense [24]. A double sequence x = (xjk )jk=0 is called convergent in the
Pringsheim’s sense if for every " > 0 there exists N 2 N such that jxjk Lj < "
whenever j; k  N . L is called the Pringsheim limit of x.
A double sequence x = (xjk ) is said to be Cauchy sequence if for every " > 0
there exists N 2 N such that jxpq xjk j < " for all p  j  N , q  k  N .
A double sequence x is bounded if there exists a positive number M such
that jxjk j < M for all j and k.
So we can give the (; ) analogue of above two de nitions as follow:
De nition 4 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. Then, a double sequence x = (xjk )
is said to be convergent to L 2 V with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm
(; ) if, for every " > 0 and t > 0; there exists N 2 N such that (xjk L; t) >
1 " and (xjk L; t) < " for all j; k  N: It is denoted by (; v)2 lim x = L
(;)2
or xjk ! L as j; k ! 1:
De nition 5 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. Then, a double sequence x = (xjk )
is said to be a Cauchy sequence with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm
(; ) provided that, for every " > 0 and t > 0; there exists N = N (") and
M = M (") such that  (xjk xpq ; t) > 1 " and  (xjk xpq ; t) < " for all
j; p  N , k; q  M
Now we rst recall statistical convergence and then in new section, we in-
troduce basic de nitions and properties which we mention above .

2 Statistical Convergence of Double Sequence

on IFNS
Steinhaus [27] introduced the idea of statistical convergence (see also Fast [11]).
If K is a subset of N, the set of natural numbers, then the asymptotic density

3
380 KARAKUS-DEMIRCI

of K denoted by  (K), is given by

1
 (K) := lim jfk  n : k 2 Kgj
n n
whenever the limit exists, when jAj denotes the cardinality of the set A. A
sequence x = (xk ) of numbers is statistically convergent to L if
 (fk 2 N : jxk Lj  "g) = 0
for every " > 0. In this case we write st lim x = L.
Statistical convergence has been investigated in a number of paper [6] ; [7] ;
[12] ; [13] ; [14] ; [15].
Now we recall the concept of statistical convergence of double sequences.
Let K  N  N be a two-dimensional set of positive integers and let K (n; m)
be the numbers of (i; j) in K such that i  n and j  m. Then the two-
dimensional analogue of natural density can be de ned as follows.
The lower asymptotic density of a set K  N  N is de ned as
K (n; m)
 2 (K) = lim inf :
n;m nm
In case the sequence (K (n; m) nm) has a limit in Pringsheim’s sense [24]
then we say that K has a double natural density and is de ned as
K (n; m)
lim =  2 (K) :
n;m nm
If we consider the set of K = i2 ; j 2 : i; j 2 N , then


p p
K (n; m) n m
 2 (K) = lim  lim = 0:
n;m nm n;m nm

Also, if we consider the set of f(i; 2j) : i; j 2 Ng has double natural density 1=2.
If we set n = m, we have a two-dimensional natural density considered by
Christopher [5].
Now we recall the concepts of statistically convergent and statistically Cauchy
for double sequence as follows:
De nition 6 [21] A real double sequence x = (xjk ) is said to be statistically
convergent the number ` provided that, for each " > 0, the set
f(j; k) ; j  n and k  m : jxjk `j  "g
has double natural density zero. In this case we write st2 limxjk = `.
j;k

De nition 7 [21]A real double sequence x = (xjk ) is said to be statistically

Cauchy provided that, for every " > 0 there exist N = N (") and M = M (")
such that for all j; p  N; k; q  M; the set
f(j; k) ; j  n and k  m : jxjk xpq j  "g
has double natural density zero.

 STATISTICAL CONVERGENCE... 381

Now we give the analogues of these with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy
norm (; ).

De nition 8 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. A real double sequence x = (xjk )

is statistically convergent to L 2 V with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm
(; ) provided that, for every " > 0 and t > 0;

K = f(j; k) ; j  n and k  m : (xjk L; t)  1 " or (xjk L; t)  "g (1)

has double natural density zero, i.e., if K (n; m) be the numbers of (j; k) in K
K (n; m)
lim = 0: (2)
n;m nm
In this case we write st(;)2 limxjk = L; where L is said to be st(;)2 limit.
j;k
Also we denote the set of all statistically convergent double sequences with respect
to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm (; ) by st(;)2 .

By using (2) and the well-known properties of the double natural density,
we easily get the following lemma.

Lemma 9 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. Then, for every " > 0 and t > 0; the
following statements are equivalent:

(i) st(;)2 limxjk = L

j;k

(ii)  2 f(j; k) ; j  n and k  m : (xjk L; t)  1 "g =  2 f(j; k) ; j 

n and k  m : (xjk L; t)  "g = 0:
(iii)  2 f(j; k) ; j  n and k  m : (xjk L; t) > 1 " and (xjk L; t) <
"g = 1:
(iv)  2 f(j; k) ; j  n and k  m : (xjk L; t) > 1 "g =  2 f(j; k) ; j 
n and k  m : (xjk L; t) < "g = 1:
(v) st2 lim (xjk L; t) = 1 and st2 lim (xjk L; t) = 0:

Theorem 10 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. If a double sequence x = (xjk ) is

statistically convergent with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norms (; ); then
the st(;)2 limit is unique.

Proof. Let x = (xjk ) be a double sequence. Suppose that st(;)2 lim x = L1

and st(;)2 lim x = L2 : Let t > 0 and " > 0: Choose r 2 (0; 1) such that
(1 r)  (1 r)  1 " and r  r  ": Then, we de ne the following sets:

K;1 (r; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L1 ; t)  1 rg ;

K;2 (r; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L2 ; t)  1 rg ;
K;1 (r; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L1 ; t)  rg ;
K;2 (r; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L2 ; t)  rg :

5
382 KARAKUS-DEMIRCI

Since st(;)2 lim x = L1 ; we have

 2 fK;1 ("; t)g =  2 fK;1 ("; t)g = 0 for all t > 0:
Furthermore, using st(;)2 lim x = L2 ; we get
 2 fK;2 ("; t)g =  2 fK;2 ("; t)g = 0 for all t > 0:
Now let K; ("; t) := fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g \ fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g : Then
observe that  2 fK; ("; t)g = 0 which implies  2 fN  N=K; ("; t)g = 1: If
(j; k) 2 N  N=K; ("; t); then we have two possible cases. The former is
the case of (j; k) 2 N  N=fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g; and the letter is (j; k) 2
N  N= fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g : We rst consider that
(j; k) 2 N  N= fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g :
Then we have
t t
(L1 L2 ; t)  (xjk L1 ; )  (xjk L2 ; )
2 2
> (1 r)  (1 r)  1 ":
Since " > 0 was arbitrary, we get (L1 L2 ; t) = 1 for all t > 0;which yields
L1 = L2 : On the other hand, if (j; k) 2 N  N=fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g; then we
may write that
t t
(L1 L2 ; t)  (xjk L1 ; )  (xjk L2 ; )
2 2
< r  r  ":
Again, since " > 0 was arbitrary, we have (L1 L2 ; t) = 0 for all t > 0; which
implies L1 = L2 : Therefore, in all cases, we conclude that the st(;)2 limit is
unique.
Theorem 11 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. If (; )2 lim x = L for a double
sequence x = (xjk ) ; then st(;)2 lim x = L:
Proof. By hypothesis, for every " > 0 and t > 0; there is a number N 2 N such
that
(xjk L; t) > 1 " and (xjk L; t) < "
for all j  N and k  N: This guarantees that the set
f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L; t)  1 " or (xjk L; t)  "g
has at most nitely many terms. Since every nite subset of the natural numbers
has double density zero, we immediately see that
 2 f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L; t)  1 " or (xjk L; t)  "g = 0;
whence the result.
The following example shows that the converse of Theorem 11 is not hold in
general.

Example 12 Let (R,j
j) denote the space of real numbers with the usual norm,
and let a  b = ab and a  b = minfa + b; 1g for all a; b 2 [0; 1]: For all x 2 R
and every t > 0; consider
t jxj
0 (x; t) := and  0 (x; t) := :
t + jxj t + jxj

In this case observe that (R; ; ; ; ) is an IFNS. Now de ne a double sequence

x = (xjk ) whose terms are given by

1; if j and k are squares
xjk := (3)
0; otherwise.

Then, for every 0 < " < 1 and for any t > 0; let Kn ("; t) := f(j; k) ; j 
n and k  m : 0 (xjk ; t)  1 " or  0 (xjk ; t)  "g: Since
 
t jxjk j
Kn ("; t) = (j; k) ; j  n and k  m :  1 " or "
t + jxjk j t + jxjk j
 
"t
= (j; k) ; j  n and k  m : jxjk j  >0
1 "
= f(j; k) ; j  n and k  m : xjk = 1g
= f(j; k) ; j  n and k  m : j and k are squaresg

we have p p
n m
 2 (Kn ("; t))  lim = 0:
n;m nm

Hence, we get st(0 ; 0 )2 lim x = 0: However, since the sequence x = (xjk ) given
by (3) is not convergent in the space (R,j
j); by Lemma 4.10 of [25], we also see
that x is not convergent with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm (0 ;  0 ):

Theorem 13 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. Then st(;)2 lim x = L if and

only if there exists a subset K = f(j; k)g  N  N, j; k = 1; 2; :::; such that
 2 (K) = 1 and (; )2 lim xjk = L.
j;k!1
(j;k)2K

Proof. We rst assume that st(;)2 lim x = L: Now, for any t > 0 and j 2 N;
let
 
1 1
Kr := (j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L; t)  1 or (xjk L; t) 
r r
and
 
1 1
Mr = (j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L; t) > 1 and (xjk L; t) < ;
r r
(r = 1; 2; :::) :

Then  2 (Kr ) = 0 and

7
384 KARAKUS-DEMIRCI

(1) M1  M2  :::  Mi  Mi+1  :::

and
(2)  2 (Mr ) = 1; r = 1; 2; :::
Now we have to show that for (j; k) 2 Mr ; (xjk ) is convergent to L. Suppose
that (xjk ) is not convergent to L: Therefore there is " > 0 such that

f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L; t)  1 " or (xjk L; t)  "g

for in nitely many terms.

Let

M" = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L; t) > 1 " and (xjk L; t) < "g

and " > 1r (r = 1; 2; :::) :

Then
(3)  2 (M" ) = 0,
and by (1), Mr  M" . Hence  2 (Mr ) = 0 which contradicts (2). Therefore
(xjk ) is convergent to L.
Conversely, suppose that there exists a subset K = f(j; k)g  N  N
such that  2 (K) = 1 and (; )2 limxjk = L, i.e. there exists N 2 N such
j;k
that for every " > 0 and t > 0

(xjk L; t) > 1 " and (xjk L; t) < "; 8j; k  N:

Now

K" = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk L; t)  1 " or (xjk L; t)  "g

 N  N f(jN +1 ; kN +1 ) ; (jN +2 ; kN +2 ) ; :::g :

Therefore  2 (K" )  1 1 = 0. Hence x is statistically convergent to L:

De nition 14 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. We say that a double sequence

x = (xjk ) is statistically Cauchy with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm
(; ) provided that, for every " > 0 and t > 0; there exist N = N (") and
M = M (") such that for all j; p  N , k; q  M , the set

f(j; k) ; j  n; k  m :  (xjk xpq ; t)  1 " or  (xjk xpq ; t)  "g

has double natural density zero.

Now using a similar technique in the proof of Theorem 13 one can get the
following result at once.

Theorem 15 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS, and let x = (xjk ) be a double se-

quence whose terms are in the vector space V . Then, the following conditions
are equivalent:

(i) x is a statistically Cauchy sequence with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy

norm (; ).

8
 STATISTICAL CONVERGENCE... 385

(ii) There exists an increasing index sequence K = f(j; k)g  N  N, j; k =

1; 2; ::: such that  2 (K) = 1 and the subsequence fxjk g(j;k)2K is a Cauchy
sequence with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm (; ):

Now we show that statistically convergence of double sequences on IFNS has

some arithmetical properties similar to properties of the usual convergence on
R.

Lemma 16 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. If st(;)2 lim xjk =  and st(;)2

lim yjk =  then st(;)2 lim (xjk + yjk ) =  + :

Proof. Let st(;)2 lim xjk = , st(;)2 lim yjk = , t > 0 and " 2 (0; 1).
Choose r 2 (0; 1) such that (1 r)  (1 r)  1 " and r  r  ". Then we
de ne the following sets:

K;1 (r; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk ; t)  1 rg ;

K;2 (r; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (yjk ; t)  1 rg ;
K;1 (r; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk ; t)  rg ;
K;2 (r; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (yjk ; t)  rg :

Since st(;)2 lim xjk = ; we have

 2 fK;1 ("; t)g =  2 fK;1 ("; t)g = 0 for all t > 0:

Similarly, since st(;)2 lim yjk = ; we get

 2 fK;2 ("; t)g =  2 fK;2 ("; t)g = 0 for all t > 0:

Now let K; ("; t) := fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g \ fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g : Then
observe that  2 fK; ("; t)g = 0 which implies  2 fN  N=K; ("; t)g = 1: If
(j; k) 2 N  N=K; ("; t); then we have two possible cases. The former is
the case of (j; k) 2 N  N=fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g; and the letter is (j; k) 2
N  N= fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g : We rst consider that

(j; k) 2 N  N= fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g :

Then we have
t t
((xjk ) + (yjk ) ; t)  (xjk ; )  (yjk ; )
2 2
> (1 r)  (1 r)  1 ":

On the other hand, if (j; k) 2 N  N=fK;1 ("; t) [ K;2 ("; t)g; then we can write
that
t t
((xjk ) + (yjk ) ; t)  (xjk ; )  (xjk ; )
2 2
< r  r  ":

9
386 KARAKUS-DEMIRCI

This show that

 
(j; k) 2 N  N : ((xjk ) + (yjk ) ; t)  1 "
2 =0
or ((xjk ) + (yjk ) ; t)  "

so st(;)2 lim (xjk + yjk ) =  + .

Lemma 17 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. If st(;)2 lim xjk =  and 2R

then st(;)2 lim xjk = :

Proof. Let st(;)2 lim xjk =  , " 2 (0; 1) and t > 0. First of all we consider
the case of = 0. In this case

(0xjk 0; t) = (0; t) = 1 > 1 ":

Similarly we observe that

(0xjk 0; t) = (0; t) = 0 < "

for = 0: So we obtain (; )2 lim 0x = 0. Then from Theorem 11 we have

st(;)2 lim 0xjk = 0:
Now we consider the case of 2 R ( 6= 0) : From de nition we can write

 2 (f(j; k) 2 N  N :  (xjk ; t)  1 " or  (xjk ; t)  "g) = 0:

So, if we de ne the sets:

K;1 ("; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk ; t)  1 "g

K;1 ("; t) : = f(j; k) 2 N  N : (xjk ; t)  "g

then we can say  2 fK;1 ("; t)g =  2 fK;1 ("; t)g = 0 for all t > 0. Now
let K; ("; t) = K;1 ("; t) [ K;1 ("; t) then  2 fK; ("; t)g = 0 which implies
 2 fN  NK; ("; t)g = 1. If (j; k) 2 N  NK; ("; t) then for 2 R ( 6= 0)
t
( xjk ; t) = (xjk ; )
j j
t
 (xjk ; t)  (0; t)
j j
= (xjk ; t)  1
= (xjk ; t) > 1 ":

Similarly, we observe that for 2 R ( 6= 0)

t
( xjk ; t) = (xjk ; )
j j
t
 (xjk ; t)  (0; t)
j j
= (xjk ; t)  0
= (xjk ; t) < ":

This show that

 2 (f(j; k) 2 N  N : ( xjk ; t)  1 " or ( xjk ; t)  "g) = 0
so st(;)2 lim xjk = .
Lemma 18 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS. If st(;)2 lim xjk =  and st(;)2
lim yjk =  then st(;)2 lim (xjk yjk ) =  .
Proof. The proof is clear from Lemma 16 and Lemma 17.
De nition 19 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS . We say that a double sequence
x = (xjk ) is IF-bounded if there exist t > 0 and 0 < r < 1 such that  (xjk ; t) >
1 r and  (xjk ; t) < r for every (j; k) 2 N  N.
De nition 20 Let (V; ; ; ; ) be an IFNS . For t > 0, we de ne open ball
B (x; r; t) with center x 2 V and radius 0 < r < 1, as
B (x; r; t) = fy 2 V :  (x y; t) > 1 r ;  (x y; t) < rg :
It follows from Lemma 16 Lemma 17 and Lemma 18, that the set of all
IF-bounded statistically convergent double sequences on IFNS is a linear sub-
(;)
space of the linear normed space `1 2 (V ) of all IF-bounded sequences on
IFNS.

Conclusion 22 In this paper, we obtained results on statistical convergence in

intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces. As every ordinary norm induces a intuition-
istic fuzzy norm, the results obtained here are more general than the correspond-
ing of normed spaces.
