Summability, strong

of a complex sequence $ \{ S _ {n} \} $ of numbers or functions (or of a series $ \sum _ {k=1} ^ \infty a _ {k} $ with partial sums $ S _ {n} $) to a number $ S $

Summability by a method $ A = | a _ {nk} | $( cf. Summation methods) such that for a certain $ p > 0 $:

1) the sequence

$$ \sigma _ {n} = \sum_{k=1} ^ \infty a _ {nk} | S _ {k} - S | ^ {p} $$

converges for every $ n > 1 $, and for almost all $ x $ in the case of a sequence of functions;

2) $ \lim\limits _ {n \rightarrow \infty } \sigma _ {n} = 0 $. By retaining 2) and replacing 1) by:

1') for every monotone increasing sequence of indices $ \{ v _ {k} \} $, the sequence

$$ \sigma _ {n} = \sum_{k=1}^ \infty a _ {nv _ {k} } | S _ {v _ {k} } - S | ^ {p} $$

converges for every $ n > 1 $, and for almost all $ x $ in the case of a sequence of functions, one arrives at the concept of very strong summability.

The concept of strong summability was introduced in connection with the $ ( C, 1) $- summability of Fourier series (cf. Summation of Fourier series). The importance of this concept is well illustrated in the example of strong $ ( C, 1) $- summability. Strong $ ( C, 1) $- summability signifies that the partial sums $ S _ {\nu _ {1} } , S _ {\nu _ {2} } \dots $ that spoil the convergence of the sequence $ \{ S _ {n} \} $ are sufficiently scarcely positioned, i.e. have zero density. Unlike strong summability, very strong summability means that the convergence of the sequence $ \{ S _ {n} \} $ is spoiled by very thin sequences $ \{ S _ {\nu _ {m} } \} $.
