Taylor-Waadeland modifications of continued fractions
Abstract
In this paper we discuss a method for accelerating the convergence of continued fractions based on Taylor series expansions. This method is due to Haakon Waadeland who used the first three terms of the Taylor series expansion of the tails of a continued fraction to define a (convergence accelerating) modification of this continued fraction.
