In mathematics, the Cesàro means of a sequence are the terms of the sequence , where
is the arithmetic mean of the first n elements of .
This concept is named after Ernesto Cesàro (1859–1905).
A basic result states that the limit of a convergent sequence equals the limit of its Cesàro mean. That is, the operation of talking Cesàro means preserves the convergence and the limit of a sequence. This is the basis for using Cesàro means in summability method in the theory of divirgent series.
Let m space of really limited sequences with norm where . It is known that, m is a complete bordered space. We denote by the space of convergent sequence. It is obvious that, is a closed sub-space in . Next, we denote by the subset of consisting of sequence of convergent in Cesàro mean, i.e
if, exist limit , where
Let the operator ch Cesàro be the operator associated with the sequence . We denote by set of sequence of , for which it is easy to notice that,
Let

We consider sequences of m, such that or 1
Task 2
Does conformity m?
Definition 1. Let us given the sequence . If the sequence which consist of elements of the sequence converges to then the sequence converges to in Cesàro mean.
Example. Let us consider the following sequence
We have an oscillating sequence, but in the Cesàro means it has limit
So, the sequence converges to in Cesàro mean.
Suppose given the sequence such that
Where are terms of arithmetic progression.
Theorem 1. If are the terms of arithmetic progression, where and then sequence (1) is convergent in Cesàro mean.
Proof.
Where sum of odd members of arithmetic progression,
sum of all members of arithmetic progression.
Then sequence (1) is convergent in Cesàro mean to

Theorem 2. If are terms of geometric progression, where and when
then sequence is not convergent in Cesàro mean.
Proof.
Where sum of odd members of geometric progression,
sum of all members of geometric progression.
then sequence is not convergent in Cesàro mean
.
Definition 2. Let us given the sequence . The sequences and whose consist of elements of the sequences and accordingly. If the second sequence converges to then the sequence has the second convergence to in Cesàro mean.
Theorem 3. If are the terms of geometric progression, where and
Then the sequence (2) has the second convergence in Cesàro mean.
Proof.
Suppose given the sequence such that
Where sum of odd members of geometric progression,
sum of all members of geometric progression.
Then sequence (2) is convergent in Cesàro mean to
