Absolute Nörlund matrix summability of Fourier series based on inclusion theorems

Abstract

In a recent paper [39] the second author established sufficient conditions for a Nörlund matrix (N, p) to be stronger than a Cesaro matrix (C, α) of order α, for some positive α. This result was then used to show that a number of known theorems dealing with the Nörlund summability of Fourier series, or related series, can be more easily established, since the conditions placed on the Nörlund matrix imply that it is stronger than some (C, α) method, for which the summability theorem has already been established.
