Discrete weighted mean methods (Q1965344): Difference between revisions

Let \(\{\lambda_n\}\) be a real sequence satisfying \(1\leq \lambda_0 <\lambda_1 <\cdots <\lambda_n \to\infty\), and define the sequence \(\{x_n\}\), associated with \(\{\lambda_n\}\) by \(x_n=1-1/ \lambda_n\). Let \[ \tau_n =(1/ \text{P}_{[\lambda_n]}) \sum^{[\lambda_n]}_{k=0} p_ks_k. \] This weighted mean method is denoted by \(\text{M}_{\text{P}_\lambda}\). Let \[ p_s(x) =\bigl(1/p(x) \bigr)\sum^\infty_{k=0} p_ks_kx^k, \] where \(p(x)\) is a power series with radius of convergence 1. If \(p_s(x_n)\) exists for each \(n\) and if \(\lim_n p_s(x_n)=s\), then \([s_n\}\) is limitable by the discrete power series method \(\text{P}_\lambda\). The author obtains inclusion relations between the convergence domains of \(\text{M}_{\text{P}_\lambda}\), \(\text{M}_{\text{P}_\mu}\), and \(\text{P}_\lambda\).
