  2. Regula falsi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regula_falsi

    The convergence rate of the bisection method could possibly be improved by using a different solution estimate. 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 ...

  3. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    Toggle Asymptotic rates of convergence for iterative methods subsection. 1.1 Definitions. 1.1.1 R-convergence. 1.2 Examples.

  4. Convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

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

    Convergence in distribution is the weakest form of convergence typically discussed, since it is implied by all other types of convergence mentioned in this article. However, convergence in distribution is very frequently used in practice; most often it arises from application of the central limit theorem .

  5. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    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 ...

  6. Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method

    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

  7. Halley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_method

    Edmond Halley was an English mathematician and astronomer who introduced the method now called by his name. The algorithm is second in the class of Householder's methods, after Newton's method. Like the latter, it iteratively produces a sequence of approximations to the root; their rate of convergence to the root is cubic. Multidimensional ...

  8. Iteratively reweighted least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iteratively_reweighted...

    IRLS can be used for ℓ 1 minimization and smoothed ℓ p minimization, p < 1, in compressed sensing problems. It has been proved that the algorithm has a linear rate of convergence for ℓ 1 norm and superlinear for ℓ t with t < 1, under the restricted isometry property, which is generally a sufficient condition for sparse solutions.

  9. 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.
