Minimum polynomial extrapolation

In mathematics, minimum polynomial extrapolation is a sequence transformation used for convergence acceleration of vector sequences, due to Cabay and Jackson.

[1] While Aitken's method is the most famous, it often fails for vector sequences.

An effective method for vector sequences is the minimum polynomial extrapolation.

It is usually phrased in terms of the fixed point iteration: Given iterates

,

, one constructs the

matrix

whose columns are the

differences.

Then, one computes the vector

denotes the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse of

The number 1 is then appended to the end of

, and the extrapolated limit is where

is the matrix whose columns are the

iterates starting at 2.
