Abstract

We prove necessary and sufficient Tauberian conditions for sequences summable by weighted mean methods. The main results of this paper apply to all weighted mean methods and unify the results known in the literature for particular methods. Among others, the conditions in our theorems are easy consequences of the slowly decreasing condition for real numbers, or slowly oscillating condition for complex numbers. Therefore, practically all classical (one-sided as well as two-sided) Tauberian conditions for weighted mean methods are corollaries of our two main theorems.
