The Borel property for simple Riesz means (Q1078604): Difference between revisions

Let \(P=(p_ n)\) be a sequence of positive real numbers. The complex sequence \((\alpha_ n)\) is called P-summable, if \((1/P_ N)\sum^{N}_{n=1}p_ n\alpha_ n\) converges, where \(P_ N=\sum^{N}_{n=1}p_ n\). Assuming that P is increasing, it is shown that almost all sequences (with respect to any probability measure on \({\mathbb{C}})\) are P-summable iff ''Hill's condition'' (H) holds, i.e. \(\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}\exp (-\delta /a_ n)<\infty\) for all \(\delta >0\), where \(a_ n=P_ n^{-2}\sum^{n}_{k=1}p^ 2_ k\). The sufficiency of (H) is due to \textit{J. D. Hill} [Pac. J. Math. 1, 399-409 (1951; Zbl 0043.286)]. For arbitrary (non-monotonic) weights, (H) is still sufficient, but not necessary. We give a related necessary and sufficient condition.
