Is $(-1/2)^n$ Cesaro summable?

297 Views Asked by At

It is easy if $S_n=(-1)^n$; it is Cesaro summable to $0$.

But I am unable to find if the sequence $S_n=(-1/2)^n$ is Cesaro summable or not.

It's not too hard to compute directly:

$$\frac1n\sum_{k=0}^nS_k=\frac1n\sum_{k=0}^n(-1/2)^k=\frac1n\cdot\frac{1-(-1/2)^{n+1}}{1-(-1/2)}=\frac1{3n}\left(2+\frac1{(-2)^n}\right)\to0$$
