Abstract
We give an equivalence between the tasks of computing the essential supremum of a summable function and of finding a certain zero of a one-dimensional convex function. Interpreting the integral method as Newton-type method we show that in the case of objective functions with an essential supremum that is not spread the algorithm can work very slowly. For this reason we propose a method of accelerating the algorithm which is in some respect similar to the method of Aitken/Steffensen.
