One property of spaces of
analytic or entire sequences is that every bounded subset of each of them is
contained in the normal hull of a single point of the space. In this paper
sequence spaces having this property are studied and many characterizations of
matrix transformations involving these spaces and their duals are shown
to involve it. Several simple theorems about matrix transformations are
proved, and many of the known theorems about matrix transformations on
analytic and entire sequences are shown to be special cases of these general
theorems.
