    Transformations of moment sequences \(C\) whose members have the form \(c(n) = \int x^n d\alpha (x)\) \((n \geq 0)\), where \(\alpha\) is of bounded variation over the integration range [0,1], are considered. The members of the transformed sequences \(C(P)\) have the form \(c(P|n) = \int P(n,x) d\alpha (x)\) \((n \geq 0)\) where the \(P(n,x)\) \((n \geq 0)\) form a prescribed system of polynomials (the use of Jacobi polynomials is treated in detail). \(\alpha (x)\) is constrained to be differentiable with derivative \(w(x)\) for \(0 \leq x < 1\) and to have a finite saltus at \(x = 1\). The two cases in which \(w\) satisfies a relationship of the form \(w(x) \sim K(1-x)^\rho\) as \(x \to 1\) in \([0,1]\) and \(w\) has an integral representation of the form \(w(x) = \int d\mu (t)/ \{1 - (ax + b)t\}\) are dealt with. It is shown, in particular, that subject to suitable conditions \(C(P)\) converges faster to the limit of \(C\) than does \(C\) itself. In one example \(C\) is monotonic but \(C(P)\) oscillates; convergence of the latter is accelerated by use of the \(\varepsilon\)- algorithm.
