Richardson extrapolation
text:
In numerical analysis, Richardson extrapolation is a sequence acceleration method used to improve the rate of convergence of a sequence of estimates of some value A ∗ = lim h → 0 A. In essence, given the value of A for several values of h, we can estimate A ∗ by extrapolating the estimates to h = 0. It is named after Lewis Fry Richardson, who introduced the technique in the early 20th century, though the idea was already known to Christiaan Huygens in his calculation of π. In the words of Birkho
