Sequence transformations are important tools for the convergence acceleration of slowly convergent scalar sequences or series and for the summation of divergent series. The basic idea is to construct from a given sequence { sn} a new sequence { s ′ n} = T ({ sn} ) where each s ′ n depends on a finite number of elements sn1 , . . . , snm . Often, the sn are the partial sums of an infinite series...
