Abstract

Slowly convergent infinite products Πn=1 bn are considered, where {bn} is a sequence of numbers, or a sequence of linear operators. Using an asymptotic expansion for the "remainder" of the infinite product a method for convergence acceleration is suggested. The method is in the spirit of the d-transformation for series. It is very simple and efficient for some classes of sequences {bn}. For complicated sequences {bn} it involves the solution of some linear systems, but it is still effective.
