Summability Theory
Summability Theory is a branch of mathematical analysis that focuses on methods for assigning values to divergent series, which are infinite sums that do not converge in the traditional sense. It seeks to extend the concept of summation beyond conventional limits, allowing mathematicians to extract meaningful results from series that would otherwise be considered undefined.
One of the key techniques in Summability Theory is the use of Cesàro summation, which averages the partial sums of a series to provide a finite value. Other methods include Abel summation and Borel summation, each with unique approaches to handling divergent series, thereby enriching the field of analysis and its applications in various mathematical contexts.
