Abstract: A convolution summability method introduced as an extension of the random-walk method generalizes the classical Euler, Borel, Taylor and Meyer-König type matrix methods. This corresponds to the distribution of sums of independent and identically distributed integer-valued random variables. In this paper, we discuss the strong regularity concept of Lorentz applied to the convolution method of summability. Later, we obtain the summability functions and absolute summability functions of this method.
