What is this common logical fallacy called?

One commonly encountered false argument is the blanket self-proclamation—as in, “This is true!” It could be seen as an implied tautology, as it seems to assert “This is true because I say it is true.” or perhaps an appeal to authority on the same grounds. But is there a separate name for this style of debate, or is it lumped under one or both of the above fallacies?
