Alphabeta MathHow statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Abel summability by and Cesaro summability by the Cesaro means of the partial sums
Definition
For a real series , write its inclusive partial sums as
and their Cesaro means as
The series is Cesaro summable to if (The Cesaro means and -summability).
It is Abel summable to if the power series
converges for every and in the one-sided sense of The - limit of at a limit point of . These are summability methods for the zero-indexed series of Series, partial sums, convergence and the sum, divergence, and the tail series; they do not assert ordinary convergence.
Depends on
- Series, partial sums, convergence and the sum, divergence, and the tail series
- The Cesaro means $\sigma_n = (x_0 + \dots + x_n)/(n+1)$ and $(C,1)$-summability
- The $\varepsilon$-$\delta$ limit $\lim_{x \to c} f(x) = L$ of $f : A \to \mathbb{R}$ at a limit point $c$ of $A$
- A real power series about a centre, its interval of convergence, and its radius in $[0,+\infty]$

21 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
