A class of conservative summability methods that are not potent (Q2367338)

Let \(A\) be a conservative matrix method of summability. \(A\) is said to be potent if every matrix \(H\) that sums all \(A\)-summable sequences of 0's and 1's will also sum all \(A\)-summable bounded sequences. The authors prove five theorems which provide a large class of conservative matrices that are easily identifiable as being not potent. They prove that the condition \(\sup_ k| a_{nk}|\to 0\) as \(n\to\infty\) is not sufficient for a regular matrix \(A\) to be potent.
