  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

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    In asymptotic analysis in general, one sequence () that converges to a limit is said to asymptotically converge to with a faster order of convergence than another sequence () that converges to in a shared metric space with distance metric | |, such as the real numbers or complex numbers with the ordinary absolute difference metrics, if

  4. 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

  5. Steffensen's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffensen's_method

    Since the secant method can carry out twice as many steps in the same time as Steffensen's method, [b] in practical use the secant method actually converges faster than Steffensen's method, when both algorithms succeed: The secant method achieves a factor of about (1.6) 2 ≈ 2.6 times as many digits for every two steps (two function ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Line search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_search

    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 ...

  9. 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.
