  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  3. Muller's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muller's_method

    Muller's method is a recursive method that generates a new approximation of a root ξ of f at each iteration using the three prior iterations. Starting with three initial values x 0, x −1 and x −2, the first iteration calculates an approximation x 1 using those three, the second iteration calculates an approximation x 2 using x 1, x 0 and x −1, the third iteration calculates an ...

    CORDIC (coordinate rotation digital computer), Volder's algorithm, Digit-by-digit method, Circular CORDIC (Jack E. Volder), [1] [2] Linear CORDIC, Hyperbolic CORDIC (John Stephen Walther), [3] [4] and Generalized Hyperbolic CORDIC (GH CORDIC) (Yuanyong Luo et al.), [5] [6] is a simple and efficient algorithm to calculate trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, square roots ...

  5. Sylvester matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_matrix

    The entries of the Sylvester matrix of two polynomials are coefficients of the polynomials. The determinant of the Sylvester matrix of two polynomials is their resultant, which is zero when the two polynomials have a common root (in case of coefficients in a field) or a non-constant common divisor (in case of coefficients in an integral domain).

  6. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    If c itself is a root then the process has succeeded and stops. Otherwise, there are now only two possibilities: either f(a) and f(c) have opposite signs and bracket a root, or f(c) and f(b) have opposite signs and bracket a root. [5] The method selects the subinterval that is guaranteed to be a bracket as the new interval to be used in the ...

  7. Square root of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_a_matrix

    The principal square root of a real positive semidefinite matrix is real. [3] The principal square root of a positive definite matrix is positive definite; more generally, the rank of the principal square root of A is the same as the rank of A. [3] The operation of taking the principal square root is continuous on this set of matrices. [4]

    Finding one root; Finding all roots; Finding roots in a specific region of the complex plane, typically the real roots or the real roots in a given interval (for example, when roots represents a physical quantity, only the real positive ones are interesting). For finding one root, Newton's method and other general iterative methods work ...

  9. Broyden's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broyden's_method

    In numerical analysis, Broyden's method is a quasi-Newton method for finding roots in k variables. It was originally described by C. G. Broyden in 1965. [1]Newton's method for solving f(x) = 0 uses the Jacobian matrix, J, at every iteration.
