  2. Iterative method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

    Here x n is the nth approximation or iteration of x and x n+1 is the next or n + 1 iteration of x. Alternately, superscripts in parentheses are often used in numerical methods, so as not to interfere with subscripts with other meanings. (For example, x (n+1) = f(x (n)).)

  3. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    Newton iteration starting anywhere left of the zero will converge, as will Fourier's modified Newton iteration starting anywhere right of the zero. The accuracy at any step of the iteration can be determined directly from the difference between the location of the iteration from the left and the location of the iteration from the right.

  4. Koch snowflake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_snowflake

    draw an equilateral triangle that has the middle segment from step 1 as its base and points outward. remove the line segment that is the base of the triangle from step 2. The first iteration of this process produces the outline of a hexagram. The Koch snowflake is the limit approached as the above steps are followed indefinitely.

  5. Iterated function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated_function

    In general, the following identity holds for all non-negative integers m and n, = = + . This is structurally identical to the property of exponentiation that a m a n = a m + n.. In general, for arbitrary general (negative, non-integer, etc.) indices m and n, this relation is called the translation functional equation, cf. Schröder's equation and Abel equation.

  6. Newton's method in optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method_in...

    The geometric interpretation of Newton's method is that at each iteration, it amounts to the fitting of a parabola to the graph of () at the trial value , having the same slope and curvature as the graph at that point, and then proceeding to the maximum or minimum of that parabola (in higher dimensions, this may also be a saddle point), see below.

  7. Barzilai-Borwein method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barzilai-Borwein_method

    BB applies the step sizes upon the forward direction vector for the next iterate, instead of the prior direction vector as if for another line-search step. Barzilai and Borwein proved their method converges R-superlinearly for quadratic minimization in two dimensions. Raydan [2] demonstrates convergence in general for quadratic problems ...

  8. Iteration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iteration

    In mathematics, iteration may refer to the process of iterating a function, i.e. applying a function repeatedly, using the output from one iteration as the input to the next. Iteration of apparently simple functions can produce complex behaviors and difficult problems – for examples, see the Collatz conjecture and juggler sequences.

  9. Lanczos algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanczos_algorithm

    A critique that can be raised against this method is that it is wasteful: it spends a lot of work (the matrix–vector products in step 2.1) extracting information from the matrix , but pays attention only to the very last result; implementations typically use the same variable for all the vectors , having each new iteration overwrite the ...
