A method for summing series of numbers and functions; denoted by . A series is summable by the Riesz summation method to the sum if

where , , and is a continuous parameter. The method was introduced by M. Riesz [1] for the summation of Dirichlet series. The method is regular; when it is equivalent to the Cesàro summation method (cf. Cesàro summation methods), and these methods are compatible (cf. Compatibility of summation methods).

Riesz considered also a method in which summability of the series is defined by means of the limit of the sequence , where

This method is denoted by . The method is a modification of the method (when ) and is a generalization of it to the case of an arbitrary .
