Hölder-Regularized Sum


The Hölder-regularized sum of order k of a series is obtained by repeatedly averaging its partial sums. If s_n^((0))=sum_(j=0)^(n)a_j, define

 s_n^((r))=1/(n+1)sum_(j=0)^ns_j^((r-1)),

for r=1,...,k. The series is Hölder-summable of order k to S if lim_(n->infty)s_n^((k))=S.

For each positive integer k, Hölder summability of order k is equivalent to Cesàro summability of order k, although the intermediate transformed sequences are different. Ordinary convergence is the order-zero case.
