In a recent paper I discussed, for a given series Σan the relation between the conditions
where 0 < ρ < 1 and p is a positive integer. It was there proved (Theorem 14) that (2) implies (1) but that the converse is not necessarily true. My object in this note is to render more precise the connection between (1) and (2) by showing that (2) is equivalent to (1′), where (1′) is (1) with the additional restriction that Σn−1wn is convergent. The proof of this equivalence relation is based on a technique which was introduced and developed by Andersen and is similar to the proofs in my former paper. The note concludes with a brief discussion of the corresponding results for the case ρ = 1.

page 169 note 2 An explicit proof of the equi-summability of these series does'not seem to have been published but, as DrBosanquet, points out, it follows readily enough from a remark of Hardy, and Littlewood, , Proc. London Math. Soc. (2), 27 (1928), 348.Google Scholar
