$a_n=O(\frac{1}{n}),\ \frac{\sum_{k=1}^nS_k}{n}$ converges $\Rightarrow S_n$ converges

62 Views Asked by At

Let $(a_n)$ be a sequence of real numbers such that $n|a_n|\le M\ \forall n$ for some positive number $M$. We define the sequences $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$ and $\sigma_n=\frac{\sum_{k=1}^nS_k}{n}\ \forall n$. Then we have the following result:
$(\sigma_n)$ converges $\Rightarrow (S_n)$ converges.
I think I have seen this result before and I think it has a specific name, but I can't remember it. Does anyone know its name ? And could someone provide me with a proof or some tips on how to prove it ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

The other answers are right, but the OP’s implication is actually correct.

Cesaro summable implies Abel summable shows that in your situation, the sequence $\sum{S_n-S_{n-1}}$ is Cesaro-summable, so is Abel summable.

Now, $S_n-S_{n-1}=O(1/n)$, so by the examples of Tauber theorems here ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abelian_and_Tauberian_theorems ) $\sum{S_n-S_{n-1}}$ converges.
