Numerische Mathematik Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A convergence result for a generalized Richardson extrapolation process is improved upon considerably and additional results of interest are proved. An application of practical importance is also given. Finally, some known results concerning the convergence of Levin's T-transformation are reconsidered in light of the results of the present work.
