A finitization of Littlewood’s Tauberian theorem and an application in Tauberian remainder theory

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we study Littlewood's Tauberian theorem from a proof theoretic perspective. We first use the Dialectica interpretation to produce an equivalent, finitary formulation of the theorem, and then carry out an analysis of Wielandt's proof to extract concrete witnessing terms. We argue that our finitization can be viewed as a generalized Tauberian remainder theorem, and we instantiate it to produce two concrete remainder theorems as a corollary, in terms of rates of convergence and rates metastability, respectively. We rederive the standard remainder estimate for Littlewood's theorem as a special case of the former.
