  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method

    In numerical analysis, the secant method is a root-finding algorithm that uses a succession of roots of secant lines to better approximate a root of a function f. The secant method can be thought of as a finite-difference approximation of Newton's method , so it is considered a quasi-Newton method .

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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. However, if initialized at 0.5, the first few iterates of ...

  7. Aitken's delta-squared process - Wikipedia

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

    In this example, Aitken's method is applied to a sublinearly converging series and accelerates convergence considerably. The convergence is still sublinear, but much faster than the original convergence: the first A [ X ] {\textstyle A[X]} value, whose computation required the first three X {\textstyle X} values, is closer to the limit than the ...

  8. Halley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_method

    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:

  9. Talk:Secant method - Wikipedia

    This is generally true but not for this particular article: there are two graphical examples. The first image explains clearly how the method works. I agree that the second one is unclear, but explaining better the image and/or replacing it by a cleared one would be much more useful than adding the disputed section.
