1. The Cesàro methods for ordinary [9, p. 17; 6, p. 96] and for absolute [9, p. 25] summation of infinite series can be generalized by the Riesz methods [7, p. 21; 12; 9, p. 52; 6, p. 86; 5, p. 2] and by “the generalized Cesàro methods“ introduced by Burkill [4] and Borwein and Russell [3]. (Also cf. [2]; for another generalization, see [8].) These generalizations raise the question as to their equivalence.We shall consider series(1)with complex terms an. Throughout, we will assume that(2)and we call (1) Riesz summable to a sum s relative to the type λ = (λn) and to the order κ, or summable (R, λ, κ) to s briefly, if the Riesz means(of the partial sums of (1)) tend to s as x → ∞.

The testing of the hypothesis that a point process is Poisson against a one-dimensional alternative is considered. The locally optimal test statistic is expressed as an infinite series of uncorrelated terms. These terms are shown to be asymptotically equivalent to terms based on the various orders of cumulant spectra. The efficiency of tests based on partial sums of these terms is found.

Let {pn} be a sequence of constants, real or complex, and let us writeIfas n → ∞, then we say that the series is summable by the Nörlund method (N, pn) to σ And the series a,Σan, is said to be absolutely summable (N, pn) or summable |N, Pn| if {σn} is of bounded variation, i.e.,

Let be the given infinite series with {sn} as the sequence of partial sums and let be the binomial coefficient of zn in the power series expansion of the function (l-z)-σ-1 |z| < 1. Now let, for β > – 1,converge for 0 ≤ x < 1. If fβ(x) → s as x → 1–, then we say that ∑an is summable (Aβ) to s. If, further, f(x) is a function of bounded variation in (0, 1), then ∑an is summable |Aβ| or absolutely summable (Aβ). We write this symbolically as {sn} ∈ |Aβ|. This method was first introduced by Borwein in (l) where he proves that for α > β > -1, (Aα) ⊂ (Aβ). Note that for β = 0, (Aβ) is the same as Abel method (A). Borwein (2) also introduced the (C, α, β) method as follows: Let α + β ╪ −1, −2, … Then the (C, α, β) mean is defined by

In the author's paper [7] it was proved that the fractional parts of the partial sums of an infinite series (of real terms) diverging to +∞ or −∞, in which the general term tends to zero, are everywhere dense in the closed unit interval. This result was extended to series of infinite oscillation (see Remark 4.1 of the said paper) on the argument that a sequence of partial sums having infinite oscillation has a subsequence that diverges to +∞ or −∞.
