A proof of "Cesaro = Abel"
Suppose that an converges Cesaro to L. That means that n L,
where
n =
s0 + s1 + · · · + sn-1
n
, sk =
k
j=0
aj.
The first question is whether the series anxn
converges for x < 1. The
answer to this is yes, since
an = (n + 1)(n+1 - n) + n - n-1 ;
using that the sequence {n} is bounded (by c, say), we get (if 0 x < 1)
|an| xn
2c
n
(n + 1)xn
