The problem of estimating the limit f∞ of a sequence fn converging as fn − f∞ = O(n−λ) as n → ∞, where λ > 0, is discussed. Using the generalization of the ε-algorithm proposed recently by Vanden Broeck and Schwartz, an acceleration scheme is developed. The method is illustrated on several test sequences and compared to other acceleration procedures.
