A new method of convergence acceleration is proposed for continued fractions b 0 þ Kða n =b n Þ, where a n and b n are polynomials in n (deg a n ¼ 2, deg b n 1) for n sufficiently large. It uses the fact that the modified approximant S n ðt 0 n Þ approaches the continued fraction value, if t 0 n is sufficiently close to the nth tail t n . Presented method is of iterative character; in each step, by means of an approximation t 0 n , it produces a new better approximation t 00 n of the nth tail t n . Formula for t 00 n is very simple and contains only arithmetical operations. Hence described algorithm is fully rational.
