A method for summing trigonometric series. The series

is summable at a point x_0 by the Lebesgue summation method to the sum s if in some neighbourhood (x_0-h,x_0+h) of this point the integrated series

\frac{a_0x}{2}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1n(a_n\sin nx-b_n\cos nx)

converges and its sum F(x) has symmetric derivative at x_0 equal to s:

\lim_{h\to0}\frac{F(x_0+h)-F(x_0-h)}{2h}=s.

The last condition can also be represented in the form

\lim_{h\to0}\left[\frac{a_0}{2}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty(a_n\cos nx_0+b_n\sin nx_0)\frac{\sin nh}{nh}\right]=s.

The Lebesgue summation method is not regular, in the sense that it is not possible to sum every convergent trigonometric series \eqref{*} (see Regular summation methods), but if \eqref{*} is the Fourier series of a summable function f, then it is summable almost-everywhere to f(x) by the Lebesgue summation method. The method was proposed by H. Lebesgue [1].
