##### Examples
 Geometry Search for the term Geometry in any field. Queries are case-independent. Funct* Wildcard queries are specified by * (e.g. functions, functorial, etc.). Otherwise the search is exact. "Topological group" Phrases (multi-words) should be set in "straight quotation marks". au: Bourbaki & ti: Algebra Search for author and title. The and-operator & is default and can be omitted. Chebyshev | Tschebyscheff The or-operator | allows to search for Chebyshev or Tschebyscheff. "Quasi* map*" py: 1989 The resulting documents have publication year 1989. so: Eur* J* Mat* Soc* cc: 14 Search for publications in a particular source with a Mathematics Subject Classification code (cc) in 14. "Partial diff* eq*" ! elliptic The not-operator ! eliminates all results containing the word elliptic. dt: b & au: Hilbert The document type is set to books; alternatively: j for journal articles, a for book articles. py: 2000-2015 cc: (94A | 11T) Number ranges are accepted. Terms can be grouped within (parentheses). la: chinese Find documents in a given language. ISO 639-1 language codes can also be used.

Practical extrapolation methods. Theory and applications. (English) Zbl 1041.65001
Cambridge Monographs on Applied and Computational Mathematics 10. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (ISBN 0-521-66159-5/hbk). xxii, 519 p. £ 70.00; $95.00 (2003). The book contains the following four parts: I. The Richardson extrapolation method: the first generalization of the Richardson extrapolation process; the extrapolation method$GREP$; the D-transformation for infinite-range integrals; the d-transformation for infinite series and sequences; two recursive algorithms for$GREP$: W-algorithm for$GREP^{(1)}$and$W^{(m)}$-algorithm for$GREP^{(m)}$as well as an efficient algorithm,$EW$-algorithm, for a special case of an extension of$GREP$; the analytic study of$GREP^{(1)}$; acceleration of convergence of power series by d-transformation; acceleration of convergence of Fourier and generalized Fourier series by the d-transformation. II. Sequence transformations: Euler transformation; Aitken process; Lubkin W-transformation; Shanks transformation; Padé table; Levin and Sidi transformations; Brezinsky$\theta$-algorithm; the transformations of Overholt and Wimp; confluent forms of sequence transformations: confluent$\varepsilon$- algorithm, confluent$\rho$- algorithm, confluent Overholt method, confluent$D^{(m)}$- transformations. III. Applications of the extrapolation methods and sequence transformations: multidimensional numerical quadrature, ordinary differential equations, the computation of the inverse Laplace transforms, convergence acceleration of infinite products, ill-posed problems. IV. This part contains a review of several concepts and results required by the previous chapters and a Fortran 77 implementation for$d^{(m)}$- transformation of real infinite series (via$W^{(m)}\$-algorithm) and this implementation can be adapted to complex series. The book is an excellent support for the theoretical and practical studies of the speed-up methods based on extrapolation. It is an useful book for mathematicians interested in this field of research, but it can be used successfully by computer scientists and engineers.
