In the direction
of the total-effectiveness of a (N,pn)(C,1) method, results concerning the
summability of a Lebesgue Fourier series and its conjugate series by such
a method are known. Supporting the observation that generally bounded
variation is the property associated with absolute summability in the same way
in which continuity is associated with ordinary summability, the absolute
total-effectiveness of a (N,pn)(C,1) method is established in the present paper and
the corresponding effectiveness of the (C) method is deduced as a particular
case.
