An asymptotic approximation of Wallis’ sequence W(n) = Πk=1n 4k 2/(4k 2 − 1) obtained on the base of Stirling’s factorial formula is presented. As a consequence, several accurate new estimates of Wallis’ ratios w(n) = Πk=1n(2k−1)/(2k) are given. Also, an asymptotic approximation of π in terms of Wallis’ sequence W(n) is obtained, together with several double inequalities such as, for example, $W\left(n\right)·(a_n+b_n)<\pi <W\left(n\right)·(a_n+b_n^{\text{'}})$ with $a_n=2+\frac{1}{2n+1}+\frac{2}{3{(2n+1)}^2}-\frac{1}{3n{(2n+1)}^{\text{'}}}{b}_n=\frac{2}{33{(n+1)}^{2^{\text{'}}}}{b}_n^{\text{'}}\frac{1}{13n^{2^{\text{'}}}}n\in \mathbb{N}$ .

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 40C99, 46B99.We investigate an extension of the almost convergence of G. G. Lorentz requiring that the means of a bounded sequence converge uniformly on a subset M of N. We also present examples of sequences α∈ l∞(N) whose sequences of translates (Tn α)n≥ 0 (where T is the left-shift operator on l∞(N)) satisfy: (a) Tn α, n ≥ 0 generates a subspace E(α) of l∞(N) that is isomorphically embedded into c0 while α is not almost convergent. (b) Tn...
