Abstract

We prove a convergence acceleration result by theE-algorithm for sequences whose error has an asymptotic expansion on the scale of comparison for which a determinantal relation holds. This result is generalized to the vector case. Moreover we prove a result which contains an acceleration property for columns and diagonals of theE array. This result is applied to some alternating series.
