The authors of the present paper, firstly, investigated relations between the notions of rough convergence and classical convergence, and studied on some properties of the rough convergence notion which the set of rough limit points and rough cluster points of a sequence of functions defined on amenable semigroups. Then, they examined the dependence of r-limit LIMrf of a fixed function f ∈ G on varying parameter r.
Day [3] studied the notions of amenable semigroups (or briefly ASG). Then, some authors [5, 9] studied the notions of summability in ASG. Douglas [4] extended the notion of arithmetic mean to ASG and obtained a characterization for almost convergence in ASG. In [11], Nuray and Rhoades presented the notions of convergence and statistical convergence in ASG. Recently, some authors studied the new notions in ASG (see, [6, 15–17]).
Phu [12], firstly, introduced the notion of rough convergence in finite-dimensional normed spaces. In [12], he investigated some properties of LIMrx such as boundedness, closedness and convexity, and also he defined the notion of rough Cauchy sequence. Then, Phu [13, 14] studied the notions of rough convergence and some important properties of this notion. Also, some authors [1, 2] investigated the rough convergence types in some normed spaces. Furthermore, Dündar et al. [7] introduced rough convergent functions defined on amenable semigroups.
The purpose of this study, firstly, is to reveal the relations between the notions of rough convergence and classical convergence, and to study some properties of the rough convergence notion which the set of rough limit points and rough cluster points of a sequence of functions defined on ASG. Next, we aim to examine the dependence of r-limit LIMrf of a fixed function f ∈ G on varying parameter r.
First of all, let’s remind the basic definitions and notions that we will use in our study such as amenable semigroups, rough convergence, rough Cauchy sequence, etc. (see, [3–5, 8–14]).
Let G be a discrete countable amenable semigroup (or briefly DCASG) with identity in which both left and right cancelation laws hold, and w (G) denotes the space of all real-valued functions on G.
If G is a countable amenable group, then there exists a sequence {Sn} of finite subsets of G such that
,
Sn ⊂ Sn+1 (n = 1, 2, …),
for all g ∈ G.
If a sequence of finite subsets of G satisfy (i) - (iii), then it is called a Folner sequence (or briefly FS) of G.
A familiar FS giving rise to the classical Cesàro method of summability is the sequence
Let G be a DCASG with identity in which both left and right cancelation laws hold. For any FS {Sn} of G, a function f ∈ w (G) is said to be convergent to if for every ɛ > 0 there exists a such that
for all m > kɛ and g ∈ G \ Sm.
Let a real number r ≥ 0 and (the real n-dimensional space) with the norm ∥ .∥, and a sequence .
A sequence (xn) is said to be r-convergent to ξ, denoted by provided that
The rough limit set of the sequence x = (xn) is denoted by
A sequence x = (xn) is said to be r-convergent if LIMrx≠ ∅. In this instance, r is called the convergence degree of the sequence x. For r = 0, we get the ordinary convergence.
For any FS {Sn} of G, a function f ∈ w (G) is said to be rough convergent (r-convergent) to if
for all g ∈ G \ Sm, or equivalently,
for all g ∈ G \ Sm. In this instance, it is denoted by
If (1) holds, then t is an r-limit point of the function f ∈ w (G), which is usually no longer unique (for r > 0). Hence, we have to think the so-called rough limit set (r-limit set) of the function f ∈ w (G) defined by
For any FS {Sn} of G, a function f ∈ w (G) is said to be r-convergent if LIMrf ≠ ∅ . In this instance, r is called the convergence degree of the function f ∈ w (G).

Main results
Theorem
Let r1 ≥ 0 and r2 > 0. For any FS {Sn} of G, a function f ∈ w (G) is (r1 + r2)-convergent to t if and only if there exists a function h ∈ w (G)
for all g ∈ G \ Sm.
Proof. Assume that (3) is true. Then, for every ɛ > 0 there exists a kɛ such that for all m ≥ kɛ
for all g ∈ G \ Sm. Since
then for all m ≥ kɛ, we have
for all g ∈ G \ Sm. Hence, f ∈ w (G) is (r1 + r2)-convergent to t .
Now, for any FS {Sn} of G, we assume that f ∈ w (G) is (r1 + r2)-convergent to t . Then, for every ɛ > 0 there exists a kɛ such that for all m ≥ kɛ, we define the h (g) as following:
for all g ∈ G \ Sm. Hence, we have
and so,
for all g ∈ G \ Sm. By (2), since t ∈ LIMr1+r2f, we get
and so,
for all g ∈ G \ Sm. Hence, f (g) → r1 ⟶ t. □
Particularly, let r1 = 0 and r2 = r > 0. Then, the second result says that for any FS {Sn} of G, if a function f ∈ w (G) is r-convergent to t then there exists a function h ∈ w (G) such that
for all g ∈ G \ Sm.
Requirement means that for any FS {Sn} of G, f ∈ w (G) is an approximation of a convergent function h (g) → t with r as an upper bound of approximation error then it is still r-convergent to t. This is what has already been said in the introduction. Conversely, for any FS {Sn} of G, a function f ∈ w (G) is r-convergent to t, then there exists a function h ∈ w (G) near f ∈ w (G) (that is,
for all g ∈ G \ Sm) which converges to t.
Theorem
For any FS {Sn} of G, a function f ∈ w (G) is r-convergent to t if and only if LIMrf = (t), where
Proof. It goes on to show that implies f (g) → t, for any FS {Sn} of G. Contrary, assume that f ∈ w (G) has a cluster point t′ different from t. Hence, the point
satisfies
Since t′ is a cluster point, by definition, inequality (4) implies that
which contradicts
Therefore, t is only cluster point of f ∈ w (G) as a bounded sequence (by Lemma 1.1). As a result, f ∈ w (G) converges to t for any FS {Sn} of G. □
Theorem
For any FS {Sn} of G, let f ∈ w (G) be a function.
If ℓ is a cluster point of a function f ∈ w (G), then
Let be the set of all cluster points of a function f ∈ w (G). Then,
Proof. (i) For an arbitrary cluster point ℓ of f ∈ w (G), we have
for all t ∈ LIMrf . Otherwise, since ℓ is a cluster point of f ∈ w (G), there are infinite f ∈ w (G) for any FS {Sn} of G such that for every ɛ > 0, there exists a kɛ such that for all m ≥ kɛ,
for all g ∈ G \ Sm, where
which contradicts (1). Therefore, we have
(ii) From (i), for any FS {Sn} of G, it is clearly
If we let then for all
which is equivalent to that is, we have
Conversely, if we let s ∉ LIMrf then, by definition, there exists an ɛ > 0 such that for any FS {Sn} of G, there exists infinite f ∈ w (G) such that
which implies the existence of a cluster point ℓ of f ∈ w (G) (with |s - ℓ | ≥ r + ɛ), that is,
Therefore, if
then
that is, we have
Hence, from (8)-(10) we have
□
By definition, Limsup f is the set of cluster points of f ∈ w (G) for any FS {Sn} of G. Hence, by (7) we get
for all t ∈ LIMrf and by (6), for any FS {Sn} of G
Theorem
For any FS {Sn} of G,
Proof. Firstly for any FS {Sn} of G, let s ∈ LIMrf . Then, for every ɛ > 0 there exists a kɛ such that for all m ≥ kɛ, we define h (g) as following:
for all g ∈ G \ Sm. For any FS {Sn} of G, since
then we have
Hence, s ∈ LIMrf yields that h ∈ w (G) tends to s for any FS {Sn} of G, as n → ∞ . But |f (g) - h (g) | ≤ r, that is, As a results,
and so by definition, Hence,
Now, let . By definition, there exists a sequence h ∈ w (G) satisfying h (g) → s and for any FS {Sn} of G, i.e.,
Therefore, by Theorem 2.1 we get s ∈ LIMrf . Hence,
and as a results, we have
□
The previous theorems deals with the r-limit properties determined for a constant degree of roughness r. Let us now investigate the dependence of LIMrf of a fixed sequence f ∈ w (G) for any FS {Sn} of G on a varying parameter r.
It follows from definition
Theorem
For any FS {Sn} of G, suppose that r ≥ 0 and ρ > 0 . Then,
LIMrf + (0) ⊆ LIMr+ρ f.
implies s ∈ LIMr-ρf.
Proof. (i) Let s ∈ LIMrf for any FS {Sn} of G and By definition for all ɛ > 0, there exists an kɛ such that for all g ∈ G ∖ Sm
which implies by |s′| < ρ that
Therefore, s + s′ ∈ LIMr+ρf .
(ii) Let ℓ be an arbitrary cluster point of f ∈ w (G) for any FS {Sn} of G. If
then the point
satisfies
By (5), this yields t ∉ LIMrf, a contradiction to |t - s| = ρ and Hence, for all cluster points |s - ℓ | ≤ r - ρ. As a results, it follows from (6)
□
Now, define
By the monotonicity given in (11), we get
Furthermore, by Theorem 2.5, for all and , LIMrf always contains some ball with radius ρ. For , this is at least
For this reason,
for r′ ∈ [0, r).
Theorem
if and only if
for any FS {Sn} of G.
Proof. Assume that We must show (14). It follows from Theorem 2.7 proved later that
For any FS {Sn} of G, by (12) LIMr′f is non-empty and closed by Lemma 1.2, for . Also, by (11), we get
and LIMr′f, is a family of non-empty closed subsets in the compact set having the finite intersection property. Hence, their intersection is non-empty and so for any FS {Sn} of G,
If int (LIMrf)≠ ∅, it contains some ball with ρ > 0 and by Theorem 2.5 we get LIMr-ρf ≠ ∅ , that is, Therefore, yields int (LIMrf) =∅ for any FS {Sn} of G.
Suppose (14) holds. For any FS {Sn} of G, since LIMrf≠ ∅, we get Moreover, by (13), follows from int (LIMrf) = ∅ . As a results, □
Theorem
For any FS {Sn} of G,
If , then
Proof. The closedness of r-limit (by Lemma 1.2) and by ((11)), we get
Now, let an arbitrary s ∉ LIMrf . By definition for all ɛ > 0 there exists an kɛ such that for all m ≥ kɛ
for all g ∈ G ∖ Sm. From here, for r′ < r + ɛ that ɛ′ : = r + ɛ - r′ > 0 and for all m ≥ kɛ and all g ∈ G ∖ Sm
Hence, for r′ < r + ɛ, s ∉ LIMr′f which implies
Thus,
and so, for we get clearly
Choose and Because of , we can let a s0 ∈ LIMr0f ≠ ∅ . Choose an arbitrary s1 ∈ LIMr1f . By Lemma 1.3, for α ∈ [0, 1], we get
As a results, for α ∈ [0, 1), we get
For α → 1, since
then
Thus, for
holds true, too. □
