Abstract
IfC α denotes the Cesàro matrix of arbitrary positive order α, we investigate the setD α of complex numbers μ for which the sequence-to-sequence transformation defined by the matrixI−μC α is equivalent to convergence. In particular, we show thatD α is strictly decreasing as α increases. Most previous investigations have taken μ real and/or α an integer; we make no such restrictions.
