  2. Series acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_acceleration

    Two classical techniques for series acceleration are Euler's transformation of series [1] and Kummer's transformation of series. [2] A variety of much more rapidly convergent and special-case tools have been developed in the 20th century, including Richardson extrapolation, introduced by Lewis Fry Richardson in the early 20th century but also known and used by Katahiro Takebe in 1722; the ...

  3. Aitken's delta-squared process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aitken's_delta-squared_process

    In numerical analysis, Aitken's delta-squared process or Aitken extrapolation is a series acceleration method used for accelerating the rate of convergence of a sequence. It is named after Alexander Aitken, who introduced this method in 1926. [1]

  4. Arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

    Proof without words of the arithmetic progression formulas using a rotated copy of the blocks. An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference from any succeeding term to its preceding term remains constant throughout the sequence. The constant difference is called common difference of that ...

  5. Pell number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_number

    This sequence of approximations begins ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠, ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, ⁠ 7 / 5 ⁠, ⁠ 17 / 12 ⁠, and ⁠ 41 / 29 ⁠, so the sequence of Pell numbers begins with 1, 2, 5, 12, and 29. The numerators of the same sequence of approximations are half the companion Pell numbers or Pell–Lucas numbers ; these numbers form a second infinite ...

  6. Alcuin's sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcuin's_Sequence

    In mathematics, Alcuin's sequence, named after Alcuin of York, is the sequence of coefficients of the power-series expansion of: [1] ...

  7. Langford pairing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langford_pairing

    A Langford pairing for n = 4.. In combinatorial mathematics, a Langford pairing, also called a Langford sequence, is a permutation of the sequence of 2n numbers 1, 1, 2, 2, ..., n, n in which the two 1s are one unit apart, the two 2s are two units apart, and more generally the two copies of each number k are k units apart.

  8. Net (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_(mathematics)

    A sequence is a function on the natural numbers, so every sequence ,, … in a topological space can be considered a net in defined on . Conversely, any net whose domain is the natural numbers is a sequence because by definition, a sequence in X {\displaystyle X} is just a function from N = { 1 , 2 , … } {\displaystyle \mathbb {N} =\{1,2 ...

  9. Series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_(mathematics)

    The infinite sequence of additions expressed by a series cannot be explicitly performed in sequence in a finite amount of time. However, if the terms and their finite sums belong to a set that has limits , it may be possible to assign a value to a series, called the sum of the series .
