Abstract:
If $K(a_n’/1)$ is a convergent continued fraction with known tails, it can be used to construct modified approximants $f_n^{\ast }$ for other continued fractions $K({a_n}/1)$ with unknown values. These modified approximants may converge faster to the value $f$ of $K({a_n}/1)$ than the ordinary approximants ${f_n}$ do. In particular, if ${a_n} - a_n’ \to 0$ fast enough, we obtain $|f - f_n^{\ast }|/|f - {f_n}| \to 0$; i.e. convergence acceleration. the present paper also gives bounds for this ratio of the two truncation errors, in many cases.References
