[edit] PRACTICAL EXTRAPOLATION METHODS
This book is concerned with the coherent treatment, including the derivation, analysis, and applications, of the most useful scalar extrapolation methods.
An important problem that arises in many scientific and engineering applications is that of finding or approximating the so-called limits of infinite sequences Am. In most cases these sequences converge to their limits very slowly. In other words, to approximate the limits in question with reasonable accuracy one needs to compute a large number of the terms of Am, and this is an expensive proposition. These limits can be approximated economically and with high accuracy by applying suitable extrapolation (or convergence acceleration) methods to a small number of terms of Am. This book is concerned with the coherent treatment, including the derivation, analysis, and applications, of the most useful scalar extrapolation methods. Its importance is rooted in the fact that the methods it discusses are geared towards problems that arise commonly in scientific and engineering disciplines. It differs from existing books on the subject in that it concentrates on the most powerful nonlinear methods, presents in-depth treatments of them, and shows which methods are most effective for different classes of practical nontrivial problems, and also shows how to apply these methods to obtain best results.
