A-3. Show that, for any sequence a 1 , a 2 , ⋯ a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots a 1 , a 2 , ⋯ of real numbers, the two conditions
(A)
lim n → ∞ e ( i a 1 ) + e ( i a 2 ) + ⋯ + e ( i a n ) n = α \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{e^{\left(i a_{1}\right)}+e^{\left(i a_{2}\right)}+\cdots+e^{\left(i a_{n}\right)}}{n}=\alpha n → ∞ lim n e ( i a 1 ) + e ( i a 2 ) + ⋯ + e ( i a n ) = α
and
(B)
lim n → ∞ e ( i a 1 ) + e ( i a 4 ) + ⋯ + e ( i a n 2 ) n 2 = α \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{e^{\left(i a_{1}\right)}+e^{\left(i a_{4}\right)}+\cdots+e^{\left(i a_{n}^{2}\right)}}{n^{2}}=\alpha n → ∞ lim n 2 e ( i a 1 ) + e ( i a 4 ) + ⋯ + e ( i a n 2 ) = α
are equivalent.
