Hölder summation

In mathematics, Hölder summation is a method for summing divergent series introduced by Hölder (1882).

Definition

a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots ,\,

define

H_{n}^{0}=a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{n}\,

H_{n}^{k+1}={\frac {H_{1}^{k}+\cdots +H_{n}^{k}}{n}}

If the limit

\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }H_{n}^{k}\,

exists for some k, this is called the Hölder sum, or the (H,k) sum, of the series.
