Let be a non-negative matrix. Denote by the supremum of those that satisfy the inequality
where and and also is an increasing, non-negative sequence of real numbers. If , we use instead of . In this paper we obtain a Hardy type formula for , where is a Hausdorff matrix and . Another purpose of this paper is to establish a lower bound for , where is the Nörlund matrix associated with the sequence and . Our results generalize some works of Bennett, Jameson and present authors....
