Almost convergent sequence

A bounded real sequence is said to be almost convergent to if each Banach limit assigns the same value to the sequence .

Lorentz proved that is almost convergent if and only if

uniformly in .

The above limit can be rewritten in detail as

Almost convergence is studied in summability theory. It is an example of a summability method which cannot be represented as a matrix method.[1]
