  2. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    The bigger red dot is the root of the function. In mathematics, the bisection method is a root-finding method that applies to any continuous function for which one knows two values with opposite signs. The method consists of repeatedly bisecting the interval defined by these values and then selecting the subinterval in which the function ...

  3. Polynomial root-finding algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding...

    For finding all the roots, arguably the most reliable method is the Francis QR algorithm computing the eigenvalues of the companion matrix corresponding to the polynomial, implemented as the standard method [1] in MATLAB. The oldest method of finding all roots is to start by finding a single root. When a root r has been found, it can be removed ...

  4. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  5. Golden-section search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden-section_search

    Calculate an interior point and its functional value F 2. The two interval lengths are in the ratio c : r or r : c where r = φ − 1; and c = 1 − r, with φ being the golden ratio. Using the triplet, determine if convergence criteria are fulfilled. If they are, estimate the X at the minimum from that triplet and return.

  6. Eigenvalue algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalue_algorithm

    Given an n × n square matrix A of real or complex numbers, an eigenvalue λ and its associated generalized eigenvector v are a pair obeying the relation [1] =,where v is a nonzero n × 1 column vector, I is the n × n identity matrix, k is a positive integer, and both λ and v are allowed to be complex even when A is real.l When k = 1, the vector is called simply an eigenvector, and the pair ...

  7. Steffensen's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffensen's_method

    In numerical analysis, Steffensen's method is an iterative method for numerical root-finding named after Johan Frederik Steffensen that is similar to the secant method and to Newton's method. Steffensen's method achieves a quadratic order of convergence without using derivatives, whereas Newton's method converges quadratically but requires ...

  8. Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method

    The secant method is an iterative numerical method for finding a zero of a function f. Given two initial values x0 and x1, the method proceeds according to the recurrence relation. This is a nonlinear second-order recurrence that is well-defined given f and the two initial values x0 and x1. Ideally, the initial values should be chosen close to ...

  9. Graph partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_partition

    The example in Figure 3 illustrates 2 instances of the same graph such that in (a) modularity (Q) is the partitioning metric and in (b), ratio-cut is the partitioning metric. Figure 3: Weighted graph G may be partitioned to maximize Q in (a) or to minimize the ratio-cut in (b). We see that (a) is a better balanced partition, thus motivating the ...
