A Tauberian theorem related to Weyl's criterion

Let {x_n} be a sequence of real numbers and let a(n) be a sequence of positive real numbers, with A(N) = Σ_n=1^Na(n). Tsuji has defined a notion of a(n)-uniform distribution mod 1 which is related to the problem of determining those real numbers t₀ for which A(N)^?1 Σ_n=1^Na(n)e^?it₀x_n → 0 as N → ∞. In case f(s) = Σ_n=1^∞a(n)e^?sx_n, s = σ + it, is analytic in the right half-plane 0 < σ, and satisfies a certain smoothness condition as σ → 0 +, we show that f(σ)^?1f(σ + it₀) → 0 as σ → 0 + if and only if A(N)^?1 Σ_n=1^Na(n)e^?it₀x_n → 0 as N → ∞.
