Hölder Summation
In mathematics, Hölder summation is a method for summing divergent series introduced by . Definition Given a series : a_1+a_2+\cdots, define :H^0_n=a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n :H^_n=\frac If the limit :\lim_H^k_n exists for some ''k'', this is called the Hölder sum, or the (''H'',''k'') sum, of the series. Particularly, since the Cesàro sum of a convergent series always exists, the Hölder sum of a series (that is Hölder summable) can be written in the following form: :\lim_H^k_n See also *Cesàro summation In mathematical analysis, Cesàro summation (also known as the Cesàro mean or Cesàro limit) assigns values to some Series (mathematics), infinite sums that are Divergent series, not necessarily convergent in the usual sense.

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Divergent Series
In mathematics, a divergent series is an infinite series that is not convergent, meaning that the infinite sequence of the partial sums of the series does not have a finite limit. If a series converges, the individual terms of the series must approach zero. Thus any series in which the individual terms do not approach zero diverges. However, convergence is a stronger condition: not all series whose terms approach zero converge. A counterexample is the harmonic series :1 + \frac + \frac + \frac + \frac + \cdots =\sum_^\infty\frac. The divergence of the harmonic series was proven by the medieval mathematician Nicole Oresme. In specialized mathematical contexts, values can be objectively assigned to certain series whose sequences of partial sums diverge, in order to make meaning of the divergence of the series. A ''summability method'' or ''summation method'' is a partial function from the set of series to values. For example, Cesàro summation assigns Grandi's divergent ...

Series (mathematics)
In mathematics, a series is, roughly speaking, an addition of Infinity, infinitely many Addition#Terms, terms, one after the other. The study of series is a major part of calculus and its generalization, mathematical analysis. Series are used in most areas of mathematics, even for studying finite structures in combinatorics through generating functions. The mathematical properties of infinite series make them widely applicable in other quantitative disciplines such as physics, computer science, statistics and finance. Among the Ancient Greece, Ancient Greeks, the idea that a potential infinity, potentially infinite summation could produce a finite result was considered paradoxical, most famously in Zeno's paradoxes. Nonetheless, infinite series were applied practically by Ancient Greek mathematicians including Archimedes, for instance in the Quadrature of the Parabola, quadrature of the parabola. The mathematical side of Zeno's paradoxes was resolved using the concept of a limit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cesàro Summation
In mathematical analysis, Cesàro summation (also known as the Cesàro mean or Cesàro limit) assigns values to some Series (mathematics), infinite sums that are Divergent series, not necessarily convergent in the usual sense. The Cesàro sum is defined as the limit, as ''n'' tends to infinity, of the sequence of arithmetic means of the first ''n'' partial sums of the series. This special case of a matrix summability method is named for the Italian analyst Ernesto Cesàro (1859–1906). The term ''summation'' can be misleading, as some statements and proofs regarding Cesàro summation can be said to implicate the Eilenberg–Mazur swindle. For example, it is commonly applied to Grandi's series with the conclusion that the ''sum'' of that series is 1/2. Definition Let (a_n)_^\infty be a sequence, and let :s_k = a_1 + \cdots + a_k= \sum_^k a_n be its th partial sum. The sequence is called Cesàro summable, with Cesàro sum , if, as tends to infinity, the arithmetic mean ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
