Let be the given infinite series with {sn} as the sequence of partial sums and let be the binomial coefficient of zn in the power series expansion of the function (l-z)-σ-1 |z| < 1. Now let, for β > – 1,converge for 0 ≤ x < 1. If fβ(x) → s as x → 1–, then we say that ∑an is summable (Aβ) to s. If, further, f(x) is a function of bounded variation in (0, 1), then ∑an is summable |Aβ| or absolutely summable (Aβ). We write this symbolically as {sn} ∈ |Aβ|. This method was first introduced by Borwein in (l) where he proves that for α > β > -1, (Aα) ⊂ (Aβ). Note that for β = 0, (Aβ) is the same as Abel method (A). Borwein (2) also introduced the (C, α, β) method as follows: Let α + β ╪ −1, −2, … Then the (C, α, β) mean is defined by
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
