The purpose of this note is to demonstrate how some of the classical Hausdorff inclusion theorems extend to the case where the sequences have their domains and ranges in topological vector spaces. We follow the terminology in [3] and [1] for the topological vector spaces and Hausdorff summability methods respectively. Suppose (X, Tl) and (Y, T2) are locally convex separated topological vector spaces. We denote by L(X, Y) the linear functions from X to Y which are continuous with respect to the topologies T, and T2. DEFINITION 1. If fmn,L(X, Y) (m, n=O, 1, 2, * ), then the matrix M = (fVn) is called a summability method from X to Y. Suppose now that (Z, Ts) is also a locally convex separated topological vector space. DEFINITION 2. If M1 is a summability method from X to Y and M2 is a summability method from X to Z with the property that for each sequence {xn4 of points in X for which {Ym} =M({xn}) is T2-convergent, the sequence {Zm } =M2({xn}) is T3-convergent, then we say M2 includes M1. We indicate this by M2DM1. We wish to consider Hausdorff methods H(j.A) = 6bt6, where ,u =diag (,o, Al, ), a is the differencing matrix, and MiEL(X, Y) (for example). We denote by N(Mi) the null space of ,u,. Suppose we have two such Hausdorff methods Hi = Hi(A) = 6ui6, where Ai =diag(uio, Ail, 1i2, * (i 2), lk EL(X, Y) and M2kEL(X, Z).
