The Shanks transformation presents one approach for extracting this information
and accelerating the rate of convergence of a sequence.\cite{Shanks_1955,BenderBook}
\titou{T2: $N$ is defined as the number of electrons. Maybe we should use $n$ instead?}
Consider the partial sums
$S_N = \sum_{k=0}^{N} a_k$
$S_n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} s_k$
defined from the truncated summation of an infinite series
$ S = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} a_k$.
$S = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} s_k$.
If the series converges, then the partial sums will tend to the exact result
\begin{equation}
\lim_{N\rightarrow \infty} S_N = S.
\lim_{n \to \infty} S_n = S.
\end{equation}
The Shanks transformation attempts to generate increasingly accurate estimates of this
limit by defining a new series as
\begin{equation}
T(S_N) = \frac{S_{N+1} S_{N-1} - S_{N}^2}{S_{N+1} + S_{N-1} - 2 S_{N}}.
T(S_n) = \frac{S_{n+1} S_{n-1} - S_{n}^2}{S_{n+1} + S_{n-1} - 2 S_{n}}.
\end{equation}
This series can converge faster than the original partial sums and can thus provide greater
accuracy using only the first few terms in the series.
However, it is designed to accelerate exponentially converging partial sums with
However, it is designed to accelerate \titou{exponentially?} converging partial sums with
the approximate form

S_N \approx S + a\,b^N.
S_n \approx S + \alpha\,\beta^n.
\end{equation}
Furthermore, while this transformation can accelerate the convergence of a series,
there is no guarantee that this acceleration will be fast enough to significantly
improve the accuracy of low-order approximations.

To the best of our knowledge, the Shanks transformation has never previously been applied

We have therefore applied it to the convergent Taylor series, Pad\'e approximants, and quadratic
