A matrix summation method of sequences. It is defined by a numerical sequence and denoted by the symbol . A sequence is summable by the method to a number if

In particular, if , , , the summability of a sequence by the -method to a number means that the sequence converges to . For , , one obtains the Cesàro summation method (cf. Cesàro summation methods). For , , , the -method is regular (cf. Regular summation methods) if and only if . Any two regular methods and are compatible (cf. Compatibility of summation methods).

The Voronoi summation method was first introduced by G.F. Voronoi [1] and was rediscovered by N.E. Nörlund in 1919. The method is therefore sometimes referred to in western literature as the Nörlund method and the symbol given to it is or .
