Extract

Ingham (3) discusses the following summation method:

A series ∑an will be said to be summable to s if

where, as usual, [x] indicates the greatest integer ≤ x. (An equivalent method was introduced somewhat earlier by Wintner (8), but the notation (I) for the above method and the attachment to Ingham's name seem to have become usual following [(1), Appendix IV].) The method (I) is intimately connected with the prime number theorem and the fact that the Riemann zeta-function ζ(s) has no zeros on the line σ = 1. Ingham proved, among other results, that (I) is not comparable with convergence but, nevertheless, for every δ > 0, (I) ⇒ (C, δ) and for every δ, 0 < δ < 1, (C, −δ) ⇒ (I), where the (C, k) are Cesàro means of order k.
