Note on the sum of an oscillating series, II

This note is a sequel to a former one, a knowledge of which will be assumed. We first prove a theorem which is analogous to O Theorem I, and is indeed a simple consequence of it. As an easy inference from this theorem we obtain a necessary condition that the series allied with a Fourier series may be summable ( C , k ) for all k > p , where p is any number greater than 1. We then show that the condition thus obtained is sufficient. We finally show that the same method can be applied to Fourier series. This note thus contains a solution of the Cesàro summability problem for Fourier series and for the allied series, which is the most precise one yet obtained.
