Definition

Let (ck)k∈ℤ(c_k)_{k \in \Z} be complex numbers, and consider the trigonometric series ∑k∈ℤckeikx\sum_{k \in \Z} c_k e^{ikx}, summed symmetrically as c0+∑k≥1(ckeikx+c−ke−ikx)c_0 + \sum_{k \ge 1} (c_k e^{ikx} + c_{-k} e^{-ikx}). For 0≤r<10 \le r < 1 and real xx put Ar(x)=∑k∈ℤr∣k∣ckeikxA_r(x) = \sum_{k \in \Z} r^{\abs{k}} c_k e^{ikx} whenever this series converges. The series is Abel–Poisson summable at xx to ss if Ar(x)A_r(x) is defined for all 0≤r<10 \le r < 1 and Ar(x)→sA_r(x) \to s as r→1−r \to 1^-. This is Abel summation of the symmetric series at xx.

Remarks

If ff is a Riemann integrable 2π2\pi-periodic function and ck=12π∫−ππf(t)e−ikt dtc_k = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} f(t) e^{-ikt} \, dt are its Fourier coefficients, then the ckc_k are bounded, Ar(x)A_r(x) converges absolutely, and Ar(x)=12π∫−ππPr(x−t)f(t) dt,Pr(θ)=∑k∈ℤr∣k∣eikθ=1−r21−2rcos⁡θ+r2.A_r(x) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} P_r(x - t) f(t) \, dt, \qquad P_r(\theta) = \sum_{k \in \Z} r^{\abs{k}} e^{ik\theta} = \frac{1 - r^2}{1 - 2r\cos\theta + r^2}. Here PrP_r is the Poisson kernel of the unit disc.

Example: for f(x)=cos⁡xf(x) = \cos x one has c1=c−1=12c_1 = c_{-1} = \frac12 and ck=0c_k = 0 otherwise, so Ar(x)=rcos⁡x→cos⁡xA_r(x) = r \cos x \to \cos x.

Non-example: for ck=1c_k = 1 for all kk and x=0x = 0, one gets Ar(0)=∑k∈ℤr∣k∣=1+r1−r→+∞A_r(0) = \sum_{k \in \Z} r^{\abs{k}} = \frac{1 + r}{1 - r} \to +\infty. So the series ∑k∈ℤeikx\sum_{k \in \Z} e^{ikx} is not Abel–Poisson summable at 00.
