Regularity of ``F'' method of summability of sequences (Q909919)

For a sequence of functions \(\{F_ n(x)\}\) defined on (0,b] with \(\lim_{x\to 0}F_ n(x)=1,\) the sequence \(a=(a_ k)\) is said to be ``F''-summable, if \(\lim_{x\to 0}\sum a_ nF_ n(x)\) exists. Not much was known about the regularity of the ``F''-method, the author gives some necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity of ``F''-method. Under these conditions, some classical methods such as Cesàro, Abel and Riemann have domains of summability contained in that of the ``F''-method for some sequence \(\{F_ n(x)\}\).
