Abstract

A new method of convergence acceleration is proposed for continued fractions of Poincaré's type 1. Each step of the method (and not only the first one, as in the Hautot method [1]) is based on an asymptotic behaviour of continued fraction tails. A theorem is proved detailing properties of the method in six cases considered here. Results of numerical tests for all Hautot's examples confirm a good performance of the method.
