Re: The RRA
Why didn't it output right to me,then?

You had a denominator that was too large.

Re: The RRA
Estimate the following sum for a PSLQ to 16 digits of precision. I would like to only sum 20 or so terms. Develope a new series that converges that fast.

Re: The RRA
Hi bobbym
The number of terms needed doesn't seem to be going down.

Re: The RRA
When I apply the RRA it doesn't shrink down the number of terms needed.

Re: The RRA
Hi;
After 8 iterations of the algorithm I get:
That is quite close for only summing 19 terms!

Re: The RRA
Eight iterations! I do not have that capability by hand and I don't yet have a program to do it for me.

Re: The RRA
Point is, it is converging. Looking the bottom series of all positive terms. Do you not see convergence? How many iterations did you do?

I see the convergence, but I applied the RRA only 2 times.

So you got 1 /10 + 1 / 45? Isn't that close to the answer?

Re: The RRA
It is. But the sum we get doesn't converge as fast as we'd like it to.

Re: The RRA
Whoa! Do you know many terms you would need of the original series to get the accuracy you have got
from just 2 iterations?

Re: The RRA
That's a pretty good idea and i will look into that. But that's a very broad topic. In the mean time if you join one of the forum grpuos like open discussion you can post any questions you may have about claimers and i am sure someone will help you out.

Or you are not the same guy?

Re: The RRA
Why do that? I just set the tail equal to the desired accuracy and solve it in WA. That is the least I could remember.
While I was in the mountains, I managed once to get a wireless connection and see the latest baffler. When I realized what the first differences are I needed to get the first 50 or so digits of pi. I wanted to use the Leibniz formula, but I remembered that it converges slowly so I applied RRA. I got another series that is the result of applying the RRA infinitely many times which involved a double factorial, but the new series wasn't particularly fast either. My confidence in the RRA was then shaken. But at least I tried to use it.

Re: The RRA
You are confusing the methods of numerical mathematics with the methods you have been taught. You are confusing the discrete with the continuous.

Re: The RRA
Yeah, not the whole tail. I set the absolute value of the general term to the 0.5*10**number of accurate digits required and solve it to get how many terms I need to sum.
What properties?
