  2. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    These are linear, quadratic, and cubic polynomial expressions when is 1, 2, and 3 ... is called quadratic convergence and the sequence is said to converge ...

  3. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    A comparison of the convergence of gradient descent with optimal step size (in green) and conjugate vector (in red) for minimizing a quadratic function associated with a given linear system. Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2).

  4. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    The following iterates are 1.0103, 1.00093, 1.0000082, and 1.00000000065, illustrating quadratic convergence. This highlights that quadratic convergence of a Newton iteration does not mean that only few iterates are required; this only applies once the sequence of iterates is sufficiently close to the root. [16]

  5. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    Instead of just matching one derivative of () at =, this polynomial has the same first and second derivatives, as is evident upon differentiation. Taylor's theorem ensures that the quadratic approximation is, in a sufficiently small neighborhood of =, more accurate than the linear approximation. Specifically,

  6. Linear recurrence with constant coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_recurrence_with...

    In mathematics (including combinatorics, linear algebra, and dynamical systems), a linear recurrence with constant coefficients [1]: ch. 17 [2]: ch. 10 (also known as a linear recurrence relation or linear difference equation) sets equal to 0 a polynomial that is linear in the various iterates of a variable—that is, in the values of the elements of a sequence.

  7. Approximation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximation_theory

    Convergence is quadratic for well-behaved functions—if the test points are within of the correct result, they will be approximately within of the correct result after the next round. Remez's algorithm is typically started by choosing the extrema of the Chebyshev polynomial T N + 1 {\displaystyle T_{N+1}} as the initial points, since the final ...

  8. Polynomial regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_regression

    Although polynomial regression fits a nonlinear model to the data, as a statistical estimation problem it is linear, in the sense that the regression function E(y | x) is linear in the unknown parameters that are estimated from the data. For this reason, polynomial regression is considered to be a special case of multiple linear regression. [1]

  9. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    Polynomial interpolation also forms the basis for algorithms in numerical quadrature (Simpson's rule) and numerical ordinary differential equations (multigrid methods). In computer graphics, polynomials can be used to approximate complicated plane curves given a few specified points, for example the shapes of letters in typography.
