  2. Proofs of convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_convergence_of...

    Proof of the theorem: Recall that in order to prove convergence in distribution, one must show that the sequence of cumulative distribution functions converges to the F X at every point where F X is continuous. Let a be such a point. For every ε > 0, due to the preceding lemma, we have:

  3. Steffensen's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffensen's_method

    The main advantage of Steffensen's method is that it has quadratic convergence [1] like Newton's method – that is, both methods find roots to an equation just as 'quickly'. In this case quickly means that for both methods, the number of correct digits in the answer doubles with each step.

  4. Convergence proof techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_proof_techniques

    Convergence proof techniques are canonical patterns of mathematical proofs that sequences or functions converge to a finite limit when the argument tends to infinity.. There are many types of sequences and modes of convergence, and different proof techniques may be more appropriate than others for proving each type of convergence of each type of sequence.

  5. Dirichlet's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_test

    In mathematics, Dirichlet's test is a method of testing for the convergence of a series that is especially useful for proving conditional convergence. It is named after its author Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet , and was published posthumously in the Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées in 1862.

  6. Fixed-point iteration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_iteration

    The speed of convergence of the iteration sequence can be increased by using a convergence acceleration method such as Anderson acceleration and Aitken's delta-squared process. The application of Aitken's method to fixed-point iteration is known as Steffensen's method , and it can be shown that Steffensen's method yields a rate of convergence ...

  7. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    In asymptotic analysis in general, one sequence () that converges to a limit is said to asymptotically converge to with a faster order of convergence than another sequence () that converges to in a shared metric space with distance metric | |, such as the real numbers or complex numbers with the ordinary absolute difference metrics, if

  9. Weierstrass M-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass_M-test

    In mathematics, the Weierstrass M-test is a test for determining whether an infinite series of functions converges uniformly and absolutely.It applies to series whose terms are bounded functions with real or complex values, and is analogous to the comparison test for determining the convergence of series of real or complex numbers.
