Introduction
Sequence spaces have played a vital role across various branches of mathematics, such as functional analysis, operator theory, and approximation theory. The importance of sequence spaces has sparked considerable interest among researchers in summability theory. They have introduced and investigated different types of sequence spaces to uncover their unique properties. For example denote the spaces of all bounded, p-summable, convergent and null sequences, respectively. Further, cs,cs0,bs denote the spaces of all convergent, null and bounded series, respectively. Throughout the paper, we will denote as the set of all natural, real and complex numbers, respectively. A sequence space X is called an FK-space if it is a complete linear metric space with continuous coordinates and for all , and a normed FK-space is called a BK-space. For example, c,c0 and are BK spaces with the norm . Also, lp is a BK-space with the norm defined by
Let denote the set of all real sequences and the set of all finite sequences, respectively. An FK-space is said to have AK if every has a unique representation where is the sequence whose only non-zero term is 1 in the place for each [1]. The spaces c0 and lp have AK [2].
The primary objective of classical theory revolves around the generalization of convergence concepts for both series and sequences. Its main goal is to provide a framework through which limits can be assigned to series and sequences that do not exhibit convergence. This is achieved through the use of transformations defined by infinite matrices. The preference for utilizing matrices, rather than general linear mappings, is based on the fact that a linear mapping between two sequence spaces can be represented by an infinite matrix.
Let Z and W be two sequence spaces and be an infinite matrix of real or complex numbers ank, for . Then defines a matrix mapping from Z to W, if , for every sequence , where
| (1) |
The set of all these matrices is represented by the notation (Z,W). A sequence (xk) is summable to L if the sequence converges to L. We say that maps Z regularly into W if and we denote the space of such matrices by (Z,W)reg.
The matrix domain of matrix in the space X is a sequence space which is defined by
It holds considerable importance in the development of new sequence spaces. Moreover, if is a triangle and X is a BK-space then is a BK-space. Many researchers have used this idea to construct new Banach sequence spaces by applying it to special triangles. To know about these sequence spaces, one can see [3–9].
Quantum calculus, often denoted as q-calculus, is a crucial mathematical tool that goes beyond traditional calculus. It plays a transformative role at the intersection of mathematics and physics. For the first time, relations between these topics especially quantum calculus (q-calculus) and q-differential operators were studied by Jackson in [10]. It has a lot of applications in different mathematical areas such as: orthogonal polynomials, hyper-geometric functions, number theory, complex analysis, combinatorics, matrix summability, approximation theory, quantum physics, particle physics, the theory of relativity, etc. For instance, Demiriz and Şahin [11] and Yaying et al. [12] developed sequence spaces using q-Cesàro matrix. Additionally, Yaying et al. [13] studied (p,q) analogue of Euler sequence spaces. Recently, Atabey et al. [14] developed q-Fibonnaci sequence spaces, Ellidokuzoglu and Demiriz [15] constructed q-difference sequence spaces of order m. For more work on q-sequence spaces, one can see [16–20] and references therein. One can see the basic notations on q-calculus in [21]. For q>0 and any positive integer a, a q-number is defined by
For the integers q–binomial coefficients are defined by
where the q–factorial [a]q! of a is given by
The q-difference operator of is defined by
and the generalized q-difference operator is defined by
The generalized q-difference matrix is given by
and its inverse is given by
Motzkin numbers, named after Theodore Motzkin, are a remarkable sequence of integers. In mathematics, the Motzkin number represents the count of distinct chords that can be drawn between r points on a circle without intersecting. It is important to note that the chords do not necessarily have to touch all the points on the circle.
Motzkin numbers, denoted as , find diverse applications in various mathematical fields such as geometry, combinatorics, and number theory. They possess a recursive nature and hold significant combinatorial properties, which make them valuable tools in multiple areas of mathematics, algorithmic analysis, and even practical applications like coding theory. The Motzkin numbers have proven to be a rich source of mathematical exploration and have contributed to the understanding of fundamental concepts in different disciplines. They are represented by the following sequence:
The Motzkin numbers satisfy the recurrence relations
Another relation provided by the Motzkin numbers is given below:
For more detail on Motzkin numbers one can refer to [22]. Erdem et al. [23] defined the Motzkin matrix as

for all .
Motivated by the aforementioned works on q-calculus, the application of q-difference operators, and Motzkin numbers in various mathematical and scientific disciplines, in section 2, we construct generalized Motzkin sequence spaces , , , and using q-difference operators. Section 3 explores some topological properties and establishes the Köthe duals of the spaces , , , and . Section 4 presents theorems and corollaries related to matrix transformations from the spaces and into the classical sequence spaces . Section 5 investigates the compactness of certain operators defined on the space . Finally, Section 6 summarizes the main findings of the manuscript.
