Theorem 7 (Aitken's Method)

If [Maple Math] is a sequence that converges linearly to the limit [Maple Math] with asymptotic error constant [Maple Math] and [Maple Math] for all [Maple Math] , then, the sequence [Maple Math] generated by Aitken's Method converges to [Maple Math] faster then the sequence [Maple Math] in the sense that [Maple Math] .

The proof will be seen in the exercises.
