  2. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    This definition is technically called Q-convergence, short for quotient-convergence, and the rates and orders are called rates and orders of Q-convergence when that technical specificity is needed. § R-convergence , below, is an appropriate alternative when this limit does not exist.

  3. Convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_of_random...

    The most important cases of convergence in r-th mean are: When X n converges in r-th mean to X for r = 1, we say that X n converges in mean to X. When X n converges in r-th mean to X for r = 2, we say that X n converges in mean square (or in quadratic mean) to X. Convergence in the r-th mean, for r ≥ 1, implies convergence in probability (by ...

  4. Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method

    In numerical analysis, the secant method is a root-finding algorithm that uses a succession of roots of secant lines to better approximate a root of a function f. The secant method can be thought of as a finite-difference approximation of Newton's method , so it is considered a quasi-Newton method .

  5. ITP method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITP_Method

    In numerical analysis, the ITP method (Interpolate Truncate and Project method) is the first root-finding algorithm that achieves the superlinear convergence of the secant method [1] while retaining the optimal [2] worst-case performance of the bisection method. [3]

  6. Aitken's delta-squared process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aitken's_delta-squared_process

    In numerical analysis, Aitken's delta-squared process or Aitken extrapolation is a series acceleration method used for accelerating the rate of convergence of a sequence. It is named after Alexander Aitken, who introduced this method in 1926. [1] It is most useful for accelerating the convergence of a sequence that is converging linearly.

  7. Richardson extrapolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson_extrapolation

    In numerical analysis, Richardson extrapolation is a sequence acceleration method used to improve the rate of convergence of a sequence of estimates of some value = (). In essence, given the value of A ( h ) {\displaystyle A(h)} for several values of h {\displaystyle h} , we can estimate A ∗ {\displaystyle A^{\ast }} by extrapolating the ...

  8. Halley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_method

    Halley's method is a numerical algorithm for solving the nonlinear equation f(x) = 0.In this case, the function f has to be a function of one real variable. The method consists of a sequence of iterations:

  9. Talk:Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Secant_method

    It is a method that is used to calculate roots between two approximation roots( even if the root doesn’t fall in between the range of two approximations). It is faster than the bisection method and false-position method.
