Improving a method for computing non-dominant solutions of certain second-order recurrence relations of Poincaré-type (Q1822917): Difference between revisions

We present a method of convergence acceleration for the calculation of non-dominant solutions of second-order linear recurrence relations for which the coefficients satisfy certain asymptotic conditions. It represents an improvement of the method recently proposed by \textit{L. Jacobsen} and \textit{H. Waadeland} [An asymptotic property for tails of limit periodic continued fractions. Rocky Mt. J. Math. (to appear); Numer. Math. 53, 285-298 (1988; Zbl 0628.65003)] for limit periodic continued fractions. For continued fractions the method corresponds to a repeated application of the Bauer-Muir transformation. Some examples and a generalization to non-homogeneous recurrence relations are given.
