1. Introduction

The Nörlund summability (N, p_n) on Jacobi series has been studied by a number of researchers like Gupta ^[4], Choudhary ^[3], Thorpe ^[16], Pandey and Beohar ^[10], Prasad and Saxena ^[11], Beohar and Sharma ^[1], Pandey ^[9], Tripathi et al. ^[18] and Chandra ^[14]. After quite a good amount of work in the ordinary Nörlund summability of Jacobi series at the point x =1, Khare and Tripathi ^[5] discussed the generalized Nörlund summability (N, p, q) of Jacobi series. The (N, p, q) summability reduces to the (N, p_n) summability for q_n = 1. The Cesàro Summability of Jacobi series has been studied by Szili &Weisz ^[15]. The Cesàro Summability, Nörlund Summability, generalized Nörlund Summability are special cases of The matrix Summability method. In this paper a more general result than those Gupta ^[4], Choudhary ^[3], Khare and Tripathi ^[5] has been obtained so that their results come out as particular cases.

3. Main Theorem

The purpose of this paper is to establish a theorem under a very general condition so that it generalizes all the known results for Nörlund summability (N,p_n) of Jacobi series in this direction. In fact, we prove the following:

Theorem: Let T = (a_n,k) be an infinite lower triangular regular matrix such that the element (a_n,k) is positive, monotonic increasing in k for 0 ≤ k ≤ n, and

If

5. Proof of the Theorem

Following the Obrechkoff ^[8], the n^th partial sum of the Jacobi series (2.1) at the point x =1 is given by

where denotes the nth partial sum of the series

where

Rau ^[12] has shown that

Therefore

where is defined as in Lemma 4.7

The matrix mean of the Jacobi series (2.1) at x =1, is given by

In order to prove the theorem, we have to show that

Let us denotes

(5.1)

δ being a suitable constant.

(5.2)

In order of to estimate I₂, we employ the asymptotic relation given in 4.7.3),

thus

(5.3)

Now, for I_2.1, given є> 0 choose δ such that if 0 <t ≤ δ, then

(5.4)

We have, I_2.1.1

(5.5)

Again, for I_2.1.2

(5.6)

If m is the integers with, then

(5.7)

Now, for I_2.1.2.2,

(5.8)

Collecting (5.3) – (5.8), we get

(5.9)

Considering I₃, we have

Finally, we consider I_4,

Collecting (5.1), (5.2), (5.9), (5.10) and (5.11) we get

Thus, theorem is completely established.

6. Applications

The following particular cases are obtained:

(1) The result of Gupta ^[4] becomes particular case of our main theorem if,

(2) The result of Chaudhary ^[3] becomes particular case of our theorem if,

(3) The result of Khare and Tripathi ^[5] becomes particular case of our main theorem if,

7. Conclusion

Cesàro, Nörlund, generalized Nörlund Summability methods are the particular cases of matrix Summablity method. In this paper matrix Summability method taken with a condition (3.1) on the Jacobi series (2.1) so that series (2.1) is summable at x=1 to sum A. The result of Gupta ^[4], Chaudhary ^[3] and Khare and Tripathi ^[5] are particular cases of my result.
