  2. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    The definitions of Q-convergence rates have the shortcoming that they do not naturally capture the convergence behavior of sequences that do converge, but do not converge with an asymptotically constant rate with every step, so that the Q-convergence limit does not exist.

  3. Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method

    Broyden's method is a generalization of the secant method to more than one dimension. The following graph shows the function f in red and the last secant line in bold blue. In the graph, the x intercept of the secant line seems to be a good approximation of the root of f.

  4. Muller's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muller's_method

    Muller's method is a root-finding algorithm, a numerical method for solving equations of the form f(x) = 0.It was first presented by David E. Muller in 1956.. Muller's method proceeds according to a third-order recurrence relation similar to the second-order recurrence relation of the secant method.

  5. Quasi-Newton method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-Newton_method

    Quasi-Newton methods are a generalization of the secant method to find the root of the first derivative for multidimensional problems. In multiple dimensions the secant equation is under-determined, and quasi-Newton methods differ in how they constrain the solution, typically by adding a simple low-rank update to the current estimate of the ...

  6. Aitken's delta-squared process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aitken's_delta-squared_process

    In numerical analysis, Aitken's delta-squared process or Aitken extrapolation is a series acceleration method used for accelerating the rate of convergence of a sequence. It is named after Alexander Aitken, who introduced this method in 1926. [1] It is most useful for accelerating the convergence of a sequence that is converging linearly.

  7. Regula falsi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regula_falsi

    That problem isn't unique to regula falsi: Other than bisection, all of the numerical equation-solving methods can have a slow-convergence or no-convergence problem under some conditions. Sometimes, Newton's method and the secant method diverge instead of converging – and often do so under the same conditions that slow regula falsi's convergence.

  8. Steffensen's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffensen's_method

    The simplest form of the formula for Steffensen's method occurs when it is used to find a zero of a real function; that is, to find the real value that satisfies () =.Near the solution , the derivative of the function, ′, is supposed to approximately satisfy < ′ <; this condition ensures that is an adequate correction-function for , for finding its own solution, although it is not required ...

  9. Fixed-point iteration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_iteration

    The fixed point iteration x n+1 = cos x n with initial value x 1 = −1.. An attracting fixed point of a function f is a fixed point x fix of f with a neighborhood U of "close enough" points around x fix such that for any value of x in U, the fixed-point iteration sequence , (), (()), ((())), … is contained in U and converges to x fix.
