A method for summing series of numbers or functions, defined by specifying two functions and satisfying certain conditions. A series can be summed by the Gronwall method to a sum if

where , is defined by the expansion

The method was introduced by T.H. Gronwall [1] as a generalization of the de la Vallée-Poussin summation method, to which it is converted by

If

then the Gronwall summation method becomes one of the Cesàro summation methods.
