โฆ Synopsis
There are several convergence acceleration methods that are based on the evaluation of partial sums sn for relatively large n, and thus, normally require the evaluation of all terms aj with 0 < j < n. Here, we show that it is possible to avoid the computation of the partials sums of high order if it is possible to evaluate a few terms aj for relatively large j. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated for the 1/z expansion that is a particularly difficult example of logarithmic convergence. (~) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Let (x,) be some sequence generated by x,+ 1 = f(x,) where i>1 For x 0 > 0 small, it converges to zero logarithmically, i.e. lim, xn+l/x . = 1, thus we need algorithms for accelerating its convergence. Using asymptotic expansions in the analysis of the A 2 and 02-algorithms leads to modified iter
