By using , we introduce the sequence spaces , 0 , and  of normed space and -space and prove that , 0 , and  are linearly isomorphic to the sequence spaces , 0 , and  , respectively. Further, we give some inclusion relations concerning the spaces , 0 , and the nonexistence of Schauder basis of the spaces  and  is shown. Finally, we determine the - and -duals of the spaces and  . Furthermore, the characterization of certain matrix classes on new almost convergent sequence and series spaces has exhaustively been examined. 1. Preliminaries, Background and Notation By , we will denote the space of all real or complex valued sequences. Any vector subspace of is called sequence space. We will write , 0 , , and for the spaces of all bounded, null, convergent, and absolutely -summable sequences, re- spectively, which are -space with the usual sup-norm de- ined by ‖‖ = sup | | and ‖‖ = (∑ | | ) 1/ , for 1< <∞, where, here and in what follows, the summation with- out limits runs from 0 to . Further, we will write ,  for the spaces of all sequences associated with bounded and con- vergent series, respectively, which are -spaces with their natural norm [1]. Let and be two sequence spaces and  = (  ) an ininite matrix of real or complex numbers  , where ,∈ N. hen, we say that deines a matrix mapping from into and we denote it by writing that :→ and if for every sequence =( )∈ the sequence  = () , the -transform of is in , where () =∑  , (∈ N). (1) he notation ( : ) denotes the class of all matrices such that :→. hus, ∈(:) if and only if the series on the right hand side of (1) converges for each ∈ N and every ∈ and we have  = {() } ∈N ∈ for all ∈. he matrix domain of an ininite matrix in a sequence space is deined by ={=( )∈:∈}. (2) he approach constructing a new sequence space by means of the matrix domain of a particular triangle has re- cently been employed by several authors in many research papers. For example, they introduced the sequence spaces () 1 = in [2], (ℓ ) = and (ℓ ) = in [3], = (, V;) in [4], ( 0 ) Λ = 0 and Λ = in [5], and (ℓ ) = and (ℓ ) = in [6]. Recently, matrix domains of the gen- eralized diference matrix (,) and triple band matrix (,,) in the sets of almost null and almost convergent se- quences have been investigated by Bas ¸ar and Kiris ¸c ¸i [7] and onmez [8], respectively. Later, Kayaduman and S ¸eng¨ on¨ ul introduced some almost convergent spaces which are the matrix domains of the Riesz matrix and Ces` aro matrix of order 1 in the sets of almost null and almost convergent sequences (see [9, 10]). We now focus on the sets of almost convergent sequences. A continuous linear functional on is called a Banach limit if (i) () ⩾ 0 for =( ) and ⩾0 for every , (ii) ( () ) = ( ), where is shit operator which is deined on by ()=+1, and (iii) ()=1, where =(1,1,1,...). A sequence =( )∈ℓ is said to be almost convergent to
