The regula falsi method calculates the new solution estimate as the x-intercept of the line segment joining the endpoints of the function on the current bracketing interval. Essentially, the root is being approximated by replacing the actual function by a line segment on the bracketing interval and then using the classical double false position ...
The construction of the queried point c follows three steps: interpolation (similar to the regula falsi), truncation (adjusting the regula falsi similar to Regula falsi § Improvements in regula falsi) and then projection onto the minmax interval. The combination of these steps produces a simultaneously minmax optimal method with guarantees ...
Since the Han dynasty, as diophantine approximation being a prominent numerical method, the Chinese made substantial progress on polynomial evaluation. Algorithms like regula falsi and expressions like simple continued fractions are widely used and have been well-documented ever since.
Of course not. All that can be said is that Regula Falsi replaced False Position (or, rather, the Italian expression with that meaning). There's no reason to believe that Regula Falsi was intended as a translation for False Position. In fact, the fact that Regula Falsi is not a valid Latin translation of False Position, weighs against such a claim.
Bracketing with a super-linear order of convergence as the secant method can be attained with improvements to the false position method (see Regula falsi § Improvements in regula falsi) such as the ITP method or the Illinois method. The recurrence formula of the secant method can be derived from the formula for Newton's method
The cavity method is an alternative method, often of simpler use than the replica method, for studying disordered mean-field problems. It has been devised to deal with models on locally tree-like graphs. Another alternative method is the supersymmetric method. The use of the supersymmetry method provides a mathematical rigorous alternative to ...
Regula falsi is another method that fits the function to a degree-two polynomial, but it uses the first derivative at two points, rather than the first and second derivative at the same point. If the method is started close enough to a non-degenerate local minimum, then it has superlinear convergence of order φ ≈ 1.618 {\displaystyle \varphi ...
As noted in the introduction, inverse quadratic interpolation is used in Brent's method. Inverse quadratic interpolation is also closely related to some other root-finding methods. Using linear interpolation instead of quadratic interpolation gives the secant method. Interpolating f instead of the inverse of f gives Muller's method.
