On relation between asymptotic and Abel densities (Q2288324)

The lower and upper Abel density of a sequence \(A\) of positive integers is defined as \[ \overline{\underline{a}}(A)=\overline{\underline{\lim}}_{x\nearrow 1}(1-x)\sum_{\substack{n=1 \\ n\in A}}^\infty x^n. \] The authors prove several upper and lower estimates of the lower and upper Abel density of a sequence \(A\) in terms of its upper and lover asymptotic densities. For instance, if \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are lover and upper asymptotic densities of \(A\), respectively, and \(1<\alpha<\beta<1\), then \[ \overline{a}(A)\geq \max_{x\in (0,1)} \{\alpha +(1-\alpha)x-x^{\gamma}+\alpha x^{(\beta/\alpha)\cdot \gamma}\}, \] where \(\gamma=(1-\alpha)/(1-\beta)\).
