An inclusion relation between Cesàro and Nörlund matrices for absolute summability (Q1206909): Difference between revisions

In [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 100, 545-557 (1986; Zbl 0633.40009)] the second author obtained sufficient conditions for a Nörlund summability method \((N,p)\) to be stronger than a Cesàro method \((C,\alpha)\) for some \(\alpha\geq 0\). The second author and \textit{B. Kuttner} studied the same question for absolute summability in [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 105, No. 2, 319- 333 (1989; Zbl 0688.42008)] and showed that the corresponding result holds in the cases \(0\leq\alpha\leq 1\), \(\alpha=2\). In this paper the authors complete the study and show that the theorem of the second author and B. Kuttner holds for all values of \(\alpha\geq 0\). The authors apply these results to the study of absolute summability of Fourier series by Nörlund means. `These theorems demonstrate that many of the results dealing with the absolute Nörlund summability of Fourier series, and some related series, which apparently extend the classical results of Bosanquet and others concerning the Cesàro summability, are indeed corollaries of these results when coupled with the appropriate inclusion theorem'.
