Statistical gap Tauberian theorems in metric spaces

By using the concept of statistical convergence we present statistical Tauberian theorems of gap type for the Cesàro, Euler–Borel family and the Hausdorff families applicable in arbitrary metric spaces. In contrast to the classical gap Tauberian theorems, we show that such theorems exist in the statistical sense for the convolution methods which include the Taylor and the Borel matrix methods. We further provide statistical analogs of the gap Tauberian theorems for the Hausdorff methods and provide an explanation as to how the Tauberian rates over the gaps may differ from those of the classical Tauberian theorems.  2003 Elsevier Inc.
