1. Introduction
A large Schröder number , which will be called as Schröder number in the remainder of study for short, represents the count of trails from the southwest corner of an grid to the northeast corner , utilizing just single steps north, northeast, or east, which do not rise above the southwest–northeast diagonal, where . Some terms of the Schröder integer sequence are
and Schröder numbers satisfy the recurrence relation
Furthermore, the limit of the ratio of the consecutive terms of Schröder sequence is . To access Schröder numbers and related basic and more comprehensive information, readers can consult sources [1,2,3,4,5].
There are also fascinating numbers other than Schröder numbers, which have various applications in geometry, probability theory, combinatorics and number theory, such as the Catalan numbers , whose first few terms are
The Catalan number sequence was discovered by Leonhard Euler in 1751 while investigating the number of different ways to divide a polygon into triangles. There are several equally different ways of expressing Catalan numbers, but the basic relations for them are as follows:
where , , and the limit of the ratio of the consecutive terms of Catalan sequence is 4. Researchers wishing to obtain detailed information about Catalan numbers and the necessary basic concepts are advised to consult sources [6,7].
Moreover, the relationship between Schröder and Catalan numbers is given by the relation
Each subset of the space that contains all sequences whose elements are real numbers is called a sequence space. The classical sequence spaces mentioned in the study can be expressed as
for . From now on, unless otherwise stated, will represent for brevity. A Banach space with continuous coordinates is named a BK-space. The spaces c, and are BK-spaces with the norm , and the space is a BK-space with the norm for . Let denote the rth row of an infinite matrix with real entries. In this case, the expression is called the F-transform of if the series converges for all . The -, - and -duals of a sequence space are given the sets
If the F-transform of every sequence y taken from is in for an infinite matrix F, then F is called a matrix transformation from to , and the class of such matrices is represented by . Furthermore, if and only if and for all . The matrix domain of an infinite matrix F on the sequence space is represented by the set
The normed spaces and are called linearly isomorphic spaces if there is a one-to-one, onto, and norm-preserving transformation between them, and they are denoted by . Researchers who want to deal in detail with the basic topics of summability theory, sequence spaces, and matrix domains can refer to sources [8,9,10,11].
In recent years, the use of infinite matrices in obtaining new sequence spaces has become quite widespread. However, the idea of using special number sequences in obtaining infinite matrices is a newer approach. After the studies by Kara and Başarır [12,13] based on the Fibonacci integer sequence, generating new normed or paranormed sequence spaces by means of integer sequences appears to be an interesting idea. Thus, the integer sequences Lucas [14,15], Padovan [16], Leonardo [17], Catalan [18,19,20], Bell [21], Schröder [22,23], Mersenne [24] and Motzkin [25,26] were used to construct new infinite matrices and sequence spaces and at the same time some fundamental topics were examined in obtained sequence spaces.
In this study, firstly, we describe a novel matrix with the aid of both Schröder and Catalan numbers, and construct sequence spaces and as the domain of . After that, some properties, such as regularity, completeness and inclusion relations, are examined. In the rest of the paper, the duals of the new spaces are calculated, and the characterization of some classes of matrices and compact operators is presented.
2. A New Regular Schröder–Catalan Matrix and Associated Sequence Spaces
In the current part, the regular Schröder–Catalan matrix is acquired by Schröder and Catalan numbers. Then, with the help of this matrix, BK-spaces and are obtained. After that, it is shown that and and, finally, the Schauder basis of and the inclusion relations of the spaces are presented.
The Schröder–Catalan matrix is constructed with the help of Schröder and Catalan numbers as follows:
is stated in matrix form as follows:
One point to note is that the Schröder–Catalan matrix is not symmetric, since its transpose is not equal to itself.
The -transform of is presented by
Furthermore, from Theorem 2 of Deng and Yan [27], the inverse of the Schröder–Catalan matrix is computed as

6. Conclusions
Taking advantage of the domains of infinite matrices while obtaining new normed or paranormed sequence spaces has become quite popular among researchers recently, and valuable studies have emerged with this idea. In this study, new sequence spaces were obtained as the domain of a new infinite Schröder–Catalan matrix obtained by using Schröder and Catalan numbers on the sequence spaces and , and the topics of completeness, basis, inclusion relations, duals, matrix transformations and compact operators related to these spaces were examined in detail and new results were obtained. Examining the domains of the Schröder–Catalan matrix in other classical sequence spaces or obtaining new infinite matrices with the help of number sequences can be counted among our future plans.
