Euler summation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Euler summation is a summability method for convergent and divergent series. Given a series Σan, if its Euler transform converges to a sum, then that sum is called the Euler sum of the original series.

Euler summation can be generalized into a family of methods denoted (E, q), where q ≥ 0. The (E, 0) sum is the usual (convergent) sum, while (E, 1) is the ordinary Euler sum. All of these methods are strictly weaker than Borel summation; for q > 0 they are incomparable with Abel summation.
