  2. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    [1] Solving an equation f(x) = g(x) is the same as finding the roots of the function h(x) = f(x) – g(x). Thus root-finding algorithms can be used to solve any equation of continuous functions. However, most root-finding algorithms do not guarantee that they will find all roots of a function, and if such an algorithm does not find any root ...

  3. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An important application is Newton–Raphson division, which can be used to quickly find the reciprocal of a number a, using only multiplication and subtraction, that is to say the number x such that ⁠ 1 / x ⁠ = a. We can rephrase that as finding the zero of f(x) = ⁠ 1 / x ⁠ − a. We have f ′ (x) = − ⁠ 1 / x 2 ⁠. Newton's ...

  4. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In mathematics, a zero (also sometimes called a root) of a real-, complex-, or generally vector-valued function, is a member of the domain of such that () vanishes at ; that is, the function attains the value of 0 at , or equivalently, is a solution to the equation () =. [1] A "zero" of a function is thus an input value that produces an output ...

  5. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    Now any rational root p/q corresponds to a factor of degree 1 in Q[X] of the polynomial, and its primitive representative is then qx − p, assuming that p and q are coprime. But any multiple in Z[X] of qx − p has leading term divisible by q and constant term divisible by p, which proves the statement.

  6. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    for all x > 1. Suppose now that ζ(1 + iy) = 0. Certainly y is not zero, since ζ(s) has a simple pole at s = 1. Suppose that x > 1 and let x tend to 1 from above. Since () has a simple pole at s = 1 and ζ(x + 2iy) stays analytic, the left hand side in the previous inequality tends to 0, a contradiction.

  7. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    When given the values for and (), and the derivative of is a given function of and denoted as ′ = (, ()). Begin the process by setting y 0 = y ( t 0 ) {\displaystyle y_{0}=y(t_{0})} . Next, choose a value h {\displaystyle h} for the size of every step along t-axis, and set t n = t 0 + n h {\displaystyle t_{n}=t_{0}+nh} (or equivalently t n ...

  8. Chebyshev nodes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_nodes

    The Chebyshev nodes of the second kind, also called the Chebyshev extrema, are the extrema of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind, which are also the zeros of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. Both of these sets of numbers are commonly referred to as Chebyshev nodes in literature. [1]

    To do this, take F(log(y)) to be y 1/2 /log(y) for 0 ≤ yx and 0 elsewhere. Then the main term of the sum on the right is the number of primes less than x . The main term on the left is Φ (1); which turns out to be the dominant terms of the prime number theorem , and the main correction is the sum over non-trivial zeros of the zeta function.
