Abstract. Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Banach space ${\cal X}$. In this paper we study uniform Ces?ro ergodicity when $T$ is not necessarily power-bounded, and relate it to the uniform convergence of the Abel averages. When ${\cal X}$ is over the complex field, we show that uniform Abel ergodicity is equivalent to the uniform convergence of the powers of all (one of) the Abel averages $A_\alpha $, $\alpha\in (0,1)$. This is equivalent to uniform Ces?ro ergodicity of $T$ when $\|T^n\|/n \to0$. For positive operators on real or complex Banach lattices, uniform Abel ergodicity is equivalent to uniform Ces?ro ergodicity. An example shows that this is not true in general. For a $C_0$-semi-group $\{T_t\}_{t\ge0}$ on ${\cal X}$ complex satisfying $\lim_{t\to\infty } \|T_t\|/t=0$, we show that uniform ergodicity is equivalent to uniform convergence of $(\lambda R_\lambda )^n$ for every (one) $\lambda >0$, where $R_\lambda $ is the resolvent family of the generator of the semi-group.
