The concept of a paranormed
β-space is defined and some theorems of Banach-Steinhaus type are proved for
sequences of continuous linear functionals on such a space. For example, necessary
and sufficient conditions are given for a sequence (An(x)) of continuous linear
functionals to be in the space of generalized entire sequences, for each x belonging to
a paranormed β-space. The general theorems are then used to characterize
matrix transformations between generalized lp spaces and generalized entire
sequences.
