  2. Newton's method in optimization - Wikipedia

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

    Newton's method uses curvature information (i.e. the second derivative) to take a more direct route. In calculus , Newton's method (also called NewtonRaphson ) is an iterative method for finding the roots of a differentiable function f {\displaystyle f} , which are solutions to the equation f ( x ) = 0 {\displaystyle f(x)=0} .

  3. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the NewtonRaphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

  4. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    The backward Euler method is an implicit method, meaning that we have to solve an equation to find y n+1. One often uses fixed-point iteration or (some modification of) the NewtonRaphson method to achieve this.

  5. 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.

  6. Simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_perturbation...

    Simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) is an algorithmic method for optimizing systems with multiple unknown parameters. It is a type of stochastic approximation algorithm. As an optimization method, it is appropriately suited to large-scale population models, adaptive modeling, simulation optimization, and atmospheric modeling.

  7. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    Newton's method assumes the function f to have a continuous derivative. Newton's method may not converge if started too far away from a root. However, when it does converge, it is faster than the bisection method; its order of convergence is usually quadratic whereas the bisection method's is linear. Newton's method is also important because it ...

  8. Gauss–Newton algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Newton_algorithm

    In a quasi-Newton method, such as that due to Davidon, Fletcher and Powell or Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS method) an estimate of the full Hessian is built up numerically using first derivatives only so that after n refinement cycles the method closely approximates to Newton's method in performance. Note that quasi-Newton ...
