Abstract
A theoretical analysis is proposed, aimed at investigating the character of those power series expansions recently considered for the evaluation of several types of diffraction catastrophes. A hyperlinear convergence is found to be the signature for such expansions, so that the results of the numerical experiments recently carried out find a meaningful interpretation in terms of the accelerating action operated by the Weniger transformation. As an important by-product of our analysis, simple criteria, aimed at numerically optimizing the diffraction catastrophe evaluations, are provided through analytical expressions.
