These methods allow us to obtain descriptions of such spaces that lead to the corresponding discrete spaces (see e.g.~\cite{N}, \cite{S}, \cite{T}). On the other hand, the study of analogues of classical operators in discrete harmonic analysis (see e.g. \cite{GS}, \cite{MSW}), is also an incentive to study discrete spaces. So the consideration of discrete spaces is quite natural and is of independent interest. In this paper we consider approximations in $l_p$ and in more general Morrey sequence spaces. \section{Approximations in $l_p$ spaces}\label{S:lp} By $l_p$, $0
0$ with the step $h\ge 0$ for a sequence ${\bf d}$ is called
$\Delta^r_h{\bf d}=(\min(1,(kh)^r)d_k)$.
\end{dfn}
%See also the relation between the moduli of smoothness of a given function and the norm of the trigonometric series with coefficients

%a formula expressing the moduli of smoothness of a function through the sequence $(\min(1,(kh)^r)c_k)$ ($(c_k)$ denotes
%$the sequence of Fourier coefficients of a given function) was obtained.
Recall the definitions of the derivative of a sequence and Sobolev sequence spaces. The $r$--th derivative ($r>0$) of the sequence ${\bf d}=(d_k)$ is defined as
${\bf d}^{(r)}=(k^rd_k)$. The Sobolev sequence space of the order $r$ is denoted by $W^r(l_p)$ and consists of all sequences ${\bf a}$ such that ${\bf a}^{(r)}\in l_p$.
The expression $\|{\bf a}\|_{W^r(l_p)}=\|(k^r|a_k|)\|_p$ is a (quasi)norm on the $W^r(l_p)$.
\begin{prop}\label{P:diff}
For any sequence ${\bf a}\in l_p$ its differences have the following properties
\begin{itemize}
\item[1)] $\|\Delta^r_h{\bf a}\|_p\le\|{\bf a}\|_p$, if $0 s$, then $\|\Delta^r_h{\bf a}\|_p\le h^s\|\Delta^{r-s}_h\bf{a^{(s)}}\|_p$ and
$\|\Delta^r_h{\bf a}\|_p\le h^r\|{\bf a}^{(r)}\|_p$;
\item[6)] if $r>s$ and $0 0$ there exists $m_\varepsilon\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $\sum_{k=m_\varepsilon+1}^\infty |a_k|^p<\varepsilon^p$ and $1/m_\varepsilon^{r}<\varepsilon$.
Let $h<1/m_\varepsilon^2$, then for $k\in\{1,\dots,m_\varepsilon\}$ we have
$\min(1,(kh)^r)<1/m_\varepsilon^r$. Hence
$$
\|\Delta^r_h{\bf a}\|_p^p=\sum_{k=1}^{m_\varepsilon} (\min(1,(kh)^r)|a_k|)^p+\sum_{k=m_\varepsilon+1}^\infty (\min(1,(kh)^r)|a_k|)^p<
$$
$$
\frac{1}{m_\varepsilon^{rp}}\sum_{k=1}^{m_\varepsilon}|a_k|^p+\sum_{k=m_\varepsilon+1}^\infty |a_k|^p<\varepsilon^p \|{\bf a}\|^p_p+\varepsilon^p,
$$
which proves 2) for $0 1$ be arbitrary. Since $1\le [\lambda]\le \lambda<[\lambda]+1$, then using property 3) and the inequality obtained above
we have
$$
\|\Delta^r_{\lambda h}{\bf a}\|_p\le \|\Delta^r_{([\lambda]+1)h}{\bf a}\|_p\le
([\lambda h]+1)^{r}\|\Delta^r_h{\bf a}\|_p.
$$
5) It is obvious that the estimates are valid for $h\ge 1$. Let $0 0$, $0 0$, $0 0$ and ${\bf a}$ such that ${\rm supp}{\bf a}\subset \{N,N+1,\ldots\,2N\}$
$$
(2N)^{-r}\|{\bf a}^{(r)}\|_p \le \|\Delta^r_{1/N}{\bf a}\|_p=\|{\bf a}\|_p\le N^{-r}\|{\bf a}^{(r)}\|_p;
$$
\item[5)] for all ${\bf a}$ such that ${\rm supp}{\bf a}\subset \{1,2,\ldots,N\}$ and $0 n}|a_k|,
$$
then for both $0 0$, $0 0$, $0 r$.
\begin{thm}
Spaces $A^r_\theta(l_p)$ and $B^r_\theta(l_p)$ coincide with the equivalence of (quasi)norms.
\end{thm}
\begin{proof}
The estimate $\|{\bf a}\|_{A^r_\theta(l_p)}\le \|{\bf a}\|_{B^r_\theta(l_p)}$ follows from Jackson's inequality.
The opposite inequality can be obtained by using the technique from~\cite{N} and we will not dwell on its details.
\end{proof}
The following statement is a counterpart of the relation obtained in \cite{JS}. Let $t>0$ and
$$
K({\bf a},t;l_p,W^r(l_p))=\inf\limits_{{\bf d}\in W^r(l_p)}(\|{\bf a-d}\|_p+t^r\|{\bf d}\|_{W^r(l_p)})
$$
be a K--functional of the element ${\bf a}\in l_p$. Then
$C_1 \|\Delta^r_t{\bf a}\|_p\le K({\bf a},t^r;l_p,W^r(l_p))\le C_2\|\Delta^r_t{\bf a}\|_p$ with constants independent of ${\bf a}$ and $t$.
A direct proof of these estimates is effortless.
%Proof of these estimates is effortless.
%Here is another statement, which is a counterpart of Arzel's and Riesz's theorems (criterion of compactness in $L_p$ spaces).
The differences allow us to reformulate compactness criterion in the $l_p$ spaces.
\begin{dfn}
The sequences of a set $A\subset l_p$ are called equicontinuos if for some $r>0$ for every $\varepsilon>0$ there is $\delta>0$
such that for all $0 0$ there exists $L_\varepsilon\in\mathbb{N}$ such that
$\|{\bf a}\chi_{\mathbb{Z}\setminus B(0,L_\varepsilon-1)}\|_{m^{q,p}}<\varepsilon$ and $1/L_\varepsilon^r<\varepsilon$. Let $|h|<1/L_\varepsilon^2$.
For
$$
I=\sum_{k\in B(m,N)}(\min(1,|\tilde {k}h|^r)|a_k|)^p=
$$
$$
\sum_{k\in B(m,N),\: |k|< L_\varepsilon}(\min(1,|\tilde {k}h|^r)|a_k|)^p +
\sum_{k\in B(m,N)\: |k|\ge L_\varepsilon}(\min(1,|\tilde {k}h|^r)|a_k|)^p
$$
by virtue of $|h|<1/L^2_\varepsilon$ we have
$$
I\le \frac{1}{L_\varepsilon^{rp}}\sum_{k\in B(m,N),\: |k|< L_\varepsilon}|a_k|^p+\sum_{k\in B(m,N),\: |k|\ge L_\varepsilon}|a_k|^p\le
$$
$$
\varepsilon^p \sum_{k\in B(m,N)}|a_k|^p + \sum_{k\in B(m,N),\: |k|\ge L_\varepsilon}|a_k|^p.
$$
Thus, for all $|h|<1/L^2_\varepsilon$ we have $\|\Delta^r_h{\bf a}\|_{m^{q,p}}\le C(\varepsilon \|{\bf a}\|_{m^{q,p}}+ \varepsilon)$.
\end{proof}
Thus, from the point of view of the approximations under consideration, the subspaces of $m^{q,p}$ for whose elements the differences
tend to zero are of interest. Such subspaces for the Morrey function spaces were introduced in \cite{Z}.
