A series ∑an is said to be summable (C, — 1) to s if it converges to s and nan = o(1) [8]. It is well known that this definition is equivalent to tn→s (n→∞), where tn = sn + nan, sn = ao + … + an. The series is summable | C, — 1 | to s if the sequence t = {tn} is of bounded variation (t ∈ B.V.), i.e. ∑ |; ▲tn |; = ∑ | tn - tn-1 | < ∞, and ∑ ▲tn = lim tn = s. An equivalent condition is ∑ | an |; < ∞, ∑an = s and ∑ | ▲(nan) | < ∞. For, suppose that ∑an = s | C, - 1 |. Since {sn} is the sequence of (C, 1)-means of {tn} and since | C, 0 | ⊂ | C, 1 |, we have ∑ | an | < ∞ and ∑an = s whence ∑ | ▲(nan) | < ∞. Conversely, ∑ | an | < ∞, ∑an = s and ∑ | ▲(nan) | < ∞ imply t ∈ B.V. and ∑▲n = s + lim nan. But lim nan = 0, since ∑ | an | < ∞.
