Aitken's $\Delta^2$ Method applied to the Newton's Method

49 Views Asked by At

Could Aitken's $\Delta^2$ Method be used to accelerate the convergence of the Newton's Method? I simplified $p_n$=$x_n$-$\frac{(x_{n+1}-x_n)^2}{x_{n+2}-2x_{n+1}+x_n}$ and obtained $p_n$=$x_n-$$\frac{(\frac{f(x_n)}{x_n})^2}{-\frac{f(x_{n+1})}{f'(x_{n+1})}+\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}}$. How can incorporate this sequence to accelerate the convergence of the method?
