Voronoi summation method
A matrix summation method of sequences. It is defined by a numerical sequence and denoted by the symbol
. A sequence
is summable by the method
to a number
if
![]() |
In particular, if ,
,
, the summability of a sequence by the
-method to a number
means that the sequence converges to
. For
,
, one obtains the Cesàro summation method (cf. Cesàro summation methods). For
,
,
, the
-method is regular (cf. Regular summation methods) if and only if
. Any two regular methods
and
are compatible (cf. Compatibility of summation methods).
The Voronoi summation method was first introduced by G.F. Voronoi [1] and was rediscovered by N.E. Nörlund in 1919. The method is therefore sometimes referred to in western literature as the Nörlund method and the symbol given to it is or
.
