This page needs the help of a knowledgeable authority.
In particular: It is difficult finding a concise and complete definition of exactly what the Abel Summation Method actually is. All and any advice as to how to implement this adequately is requested of anyone. This is what is said in the Springer encyclopedia on the page "Abel summation method":

The series:

$\ds \sum a_n$

can be summed by the Abel method ($A$-method) to the number $S$ if, for any real $x$ such that $0 < x < 1$, the series:

$\ds \sum_{k \mathop = 0}^\infty a_k x^k$

is convergent and:

$\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to 1^-} \sum_{k \mathop = 0}^\infty a_k x^k = S$

$\ds \map f x = \sum_{n \mathop = 0}^\infty a_n e^{-n x} = \sum_{n \mathop = 0}^\infty a_n z^n$

where $z = \map \exp {−x}$.

Then the limit of $\map f x$ as $x$ approaches $0$ through positive reals is the limit of the power series for $\map f z$ as $z$ approaches $1$ from below through positive reals.

The Abel sum $\map A s$ is defined as:

$\ds \map A s = \lim_{z \mathop \to 1^-} \sum_{n \mathop = 0}^\infty a_n z^n$
