Let s: [1,∞) → ℂ be a locally Lebesgue integrable function. We say that s is summable (L,1) if there exists some A ∈ ℂ such that l i m t τ ( t ) = A , where τ ( t ) : = 1 / ( l o g t ) 1 t s ( u ) / u d u . (*) It is clear that if the ordinary limit s(t) → A exists, then also τ(t) → A as t → ∞. We present sufficient conditions, which are also necessary, in order that the converse implication hold true. As corollaries, we obtain so-called Tauberian theorems which are analogous to those known in the case of summability (C,1). For example, if the function s is slowly oscillating, by which we mean that for every ε > 0 there exist t₀ = t₀(ε) > 1 and λ = λ(ε) > 1 such that |s(u) - s(t)| ≤ ε whenever t t < u t λ , then the converse implication holds true: the ordinary convergence l i m t s ( t ) = A follows from (*). We also present necessary and sufficient Tauberian conditions under which the ordinary convergence of a numerical sequence ( s k ) follows from its logarithmic summability. Furthermore, we give a more transparent proof of an earlier Tauberian theorem due to Kwee.

We also present necessary and sufficient Tauberian conditions under which the ordinary convergence of a numerical sequence $(s_{k})$ follows from its logarithmic summability.
