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.
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.
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 ...
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.
Halley's method is a numerical algorithm for solving the nonlinear equation f(x) = 0.In this case, the function f has to be a function of one real variable. The method consists of a sequence of iterations:
The idea to combine the bisection method with the secant method goes back to Dekker (1969).. Suppose that we want to solve the equation f(x) = 0.As with the bisection method, we need to initialize Dekker's method with two points, say a 0 and b 0, such that f(a 0) and f(b 0) have opposite signs.
Is there a fixed order of convergence for repeated roots with the secant method? For instance, with the Newton-Raphson method, R=2 (quadratic) for simple roots and R=1 for repeated roots. For the Secant Method, R=1.618.... for simple roots, but what about repeated/complex roots? Computer Guru 21:40, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
In case you are wondering, I used the Burden & Faires 8th edition. I understand from previous discussions on the rate of convergence page that some of you are already familiar with this book. The two definitions are entirely different with the rate of convergence being defined on page 35 and order of convergence being defined on page 75.
