for summation methods

Conditions for the regularity of summation methods.

For a matrix summation method defined by a transformation of a sequence into a sequence by means of a matrix $ \| a _ {nk} \| $, $ n , k = 1 , 2 \dots $ the conditions

$$ \tag{1 } \left . are necessary and sufficient for regularity. For the matrix summation method defined by a transformation of a series into a sequence by means of a matrix $ \| g _ {nk} \| $, $ n , k = 1 , 2 \dots $ necessary and sufficient conditions for regularity are as follows: $$ \tag{2 } \left .

The conditions (1) were originally established by O. Toeplitz [1] for triangular summation methods, and were then extended by H. Steinhaus [2] to arbitrary matrix summation methods. In connection with this, a matrix satisfying conditions (1) is sometimes called a Toeplitz matrix or a $ T $- matrix.

For a semi-continuous summation method, defined by a transformation of a sequence into a function by means of a semi-continuous matrix $ \| a _ {k} ( \omega ) \| $ or a transformation of a series into a function by means of a semi-continuous matrix $ \| g _ {k} ( \omega ) \| $, there are regularity criteria analogous to conditions (1) and (2), respectively.

A regular matrix summation method is completely regular if all entries of the transformation matrix are non-negative. This condition is in general not necessary for complete regularity.

Comments

Cf. also Regular summation methods.

Usually, the phrase Toeplitz matrix refers to a matrix $ ( a _ {ij} ) $ with $ a _ {ij} = a _ {kl} $ for all $ i, j, k, l $ with $ i- j= k- l $.
