Convergence Acceleration of Alternating Series
We discuss some linear acceleration methods for alternating series which are in theory and in practice much better than that of Euler-Van Wijngaarden. One of the algorithms, for instance, permits one to calculate P (?1) k a k with an error of about 17:93 ?n from the rst n terms for a wide class of sequences fa k g. Such methods are useful for high precision calculations frequently appearing in ...
متن کاملConvergence acceleration of alternating series
A new simple convergence acceleration method is proposed for a certain wide range class of convergent alternating series. The method has some common features with Smith’s and Ford’s modification of Levin’s and Weniger’s sequence transformations, but it leads to less computational and memory cost. The similarities and differences between all three methods are analyzed and some common theoretical...
متن کاملDiophantine approximation and Diophantine equations
The first course is devoted to the basic setup of Diophantine approximation: we start with rational approximation to a single real number. Firstly, positive results tell us that a real number x has “good” rational approximation p/q, where “good” is when one compares |x − p/q| and q. We discuss Dirichlet’s result in 1842 (see [6] Course N◦2 §2.1) and the Markoff–Lagrange spectrum ([6] Course N◦1...
متن کاملDiophantine Approximation with Partial Sums of Power Series
For each nonzero rational number r, in [1], we considered the problem of approximating G(r) with partial sums of the series (1.1). In the case that an ≡ 1 and s = 1, we asked how well one can approximate e by the partial sums ∑n `=0 1 `! . J. Sondow [6] conjectured that exactly two of these partial sums are also convergents to the continued fraction of e. Among several results, Sondow and K. Sc...
متن کاملDiophantine Approximation and Coloring
We demonstrate how connections between graph theory and Diophantine approximation can be used in conjunction to give simple and accessible proofs of seemingly difficult results in both subjects.
