ABSTRACT. A theorem concerning some new absolute summability method is proved. Many other
results, some ofthem known, are deduced.

If we take p, 1, each of the two summabilities [-,Pik and [R,p, lk is the same as
summabililty Let {} be any sequence of positive numbers. The series E a is said to be summable

It is clear that
We assume {a,}, {} and {q} be sequences ofpositive numbers such that

We prove the following.THEOREM 1. Let t. denote the C,p)-mean of the series Ea and write To -l/At-l.

then the series E a, is summable I, q’[k iffit is summable IC, 1[ k, k _> 1
PROOF. Applying Theorem 2 with a, Q,/q, fl, n, and i 1. We have a, 0(fl,),Pnq, O(p,Q,), and (I) is satisfied. Therefore ]C, lib = I-,q,[k. Now the same application of
Theorem 2 with a, n, , P,/p,, we obtain the other way round.

satisfied. Therefore I,p[k I, qnlk" The result is still valid ifwe interchange {p,} and
COROLLARY 3. Suppose that (I) is satisfied for p and q, (II) is also satisfied and that {%/p,) is
nonincreasing, then the series E a is summable [R, q[k iffit is summable [R, Plk, k _> 1.
PROOF. Applying Theorem 2 with a, , n. It is clear that [R, p,[ = ]R, qlk. For the
other direction, it needs to be shown that (I) is satisfied if we are replacing q,, by p Since {%/p} is
nonincreasing, we have, using (II),_k-l_k
n=v+ PnkPn-1
It may be mentioned that Corollary 3 gives an alternative proof to the sufficiency part of the theorem in
