The principle result is a general
Tauberian theorem that can be applied to any regular real matrix summability
method. The Tauberian condition is determined by the lengths of the blocks of
consecutive terms that dominate the rows of the matrix. This theorem and its
variants are then used to give a unified method of proving some of the classical
Tauberian theorems for the methods of Abel, Borel, and Euler-Knopp. The general
technique is also used to prove new Tauberian theorems for Nörlund and Taylor
matrices.
