The accounting method charges operations enough to pay for their work and save credits for later work. A nonnegative balance from an initially empty account makes every prefix's total charge an upper bound on its actual cost. Choosing the balance to be Φ gives the potential method; the ledger for dynamic array doubling illustrates this equivalence.[ref]
