N. MISHRA AND R. S. L. SRIVASTAVA The relationship between summability H q and some regular methods of summation given by A- matrices has been investigated by Kuttner, [2], who proved that if A is any regular Toeplitz method of summability then for any q (0< q < 1) there is a series which is not summable A but summable H q In the present paper e shall define strong summability of series I: u with k the help of a matrix.

Let 2. 1/2 a f(x) be the Fourier series of 2 and integrable (L) (a n cos nx + b n sin nx) / over (2 I) f(x) and n(b n cos n x a n sin nx) 1 be the first derived series of (2.1) ottained by term by term differentiation. % (2.2) Write g(u) where f’(x) f(x+u) f(x-u) f(x), 2uf’(x) (2.3) is the derivative of t f ldg(u)l o G(t) Here we shall take (2.4) q 2, 1,2. Since the cse q 1 is included in the strong we omit the same. Precisely we prove the following" THEOREM. Let g(u), G(t) be defined as ir (2.3) and (2.4). If g(u) is a continuous function of bounded variation over [0,] and for some B 1 summability for q G(t) where B(t) o [t B(t)] is a positive function of B(t) it is monotonic in (n-l,a) t as t such that o as t o (2.6) o (6 being small but fixed) and n1 xzB{t) t dt 0(I) then the derived series (2.2) is strongly summable to f’(x) by the matrix index 2. Note (2 7) is equivalent to (2.5) 2(t) t-- L(o,a). (2 7) (C,1) with MATRIX SUMMABILITY OF DERIVED FOURIER SERIES 369 In order to prove the theorem we need the following lemma. LEMMA.
