  2. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    Recurrent sequences +:= (), called fixed point iterations, define discrete time autonomous dynamical systems and have important general applications in mathematics through various fixed-point theorems about their convergence behavior.

  3. 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 .

    The rate of convergence is given by the following Berry–Esseen type ... identically distributed random variables is a mixing random process in discrete time ...

  5. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    The rate of convergence is linear, except for r = 3, when it is dramatically slow, less than linear (see Bifurcation memory). When the parameter 2 < r < 3, except for the initial values 0 and 1, the fixed point = / is the same as when 1 < r ≤ 2. However, in this case the convergence is not monotonically.

  7. 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.

  8. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    The rate of convergence is distinguished from the number of iterations required to reach a given accuracy. For example, the function f ( x ) = x 20 − 1 has a root at 1. Since f ′(1) ≠ 0 and f is smooth, it is known that any Newton iteration convergent to 1 will converge quadratically.

  9. Big O in probability notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_in_probability_notation

    For a set of random variables X n and corresponding set of constants a n (both indexed by n, which need not be discrete), the notation = means that the set of values X n /a n converges to zero in probability as n approaches an appropriate limit. Equivalently, X n = o p (a n) can be written as X n /a n = o p (1), i.e.
