Acceleration of Convergence
Many methods exist to increase the rate of convergence of a given sequence, i.e. to transform a given sequence into one converging faster to the same limit. Such techniques are in general known as "series acceleration". The goal of the transformed sequence is to be much less "expensive" to calculate than the original sequence. One example of series acceleration is Aitken's delta-squared process.
