Little modification to this proof leads to a similar result for a family of Orlicz sequence spaces. Some applications to spaces of compact operators on Banach sequence spaces are considered.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/weakℓp-sequencesOrlicz sequence spacescompact operatorsOn convergence of sections of sequences in Banach spacesArticle
