Overview in Summabilities: Summation Methods for Divergent Series, Ramanujan Summation and Fractional Finite Sums

This work presents an overview of the summability of divergent series and fractional finite sums, including their connections. Several summation methods listed, including the smoothed sum, permit obtaining an algebraic constant related to a divergent series. The first goal is to revisit the discussi...
