  2. Polynomial root-finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding

    Multiple roots are highly sensitive, known to be ill-conditioned and inaccurate in numerical computation in general. A method by Zhonggang Zeng (2004), implemented as a MATLAB package, computes multiple roots and corresponding multiplicities of a polynomial accurately even if the coefficients are inexact.

  3. List of open-source software for mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source...

    The primary difference between a computer algebra system and a traditional calculator is the ability to deal with equations symbolically rather than numerically. The precise uses and capabilities of these systems differ greatly from one system to another, yet their purpose remains the same: manipulation of symbolic equations.

  4. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    This x-intercept will typically be a better approximation to the original function's root than the first guess, and the method can be iterated. x n+1 is a better approximation than x n for the root x of the function f (blue curve) If the tangent line to the curve f(x) at x = x n intercepts the x-axis at x n+1 then the slope is

  5. Steffensen's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffensen's_method

    The simplest form of the formula for Steffensen's method occurs when it is used to find a zero of a real function; that is, to find the real value that satisfies () =.Near the solution , the derivative of the function, ′, is supposed to approximately satisfy < ′ <; this condition ensures that is an adequate correction-function for , for finding its own solution, although it is not required ...

  6. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    This consists in using the last computed approximate values of the root for approximating the function by a polynomial of low degree, which takes the same values at these approximate roots. Then the root of the polynomial is computed and used as a new approximate value of the root of the function, and the process is iterated.

  7. Brent's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent's_method

    The uniroot function implements the algorithm in R (software). The fzero function implements the algorithm in MATLAB. The Boost (C++ libraries) implements two algorithms based on Brent's method in C++ in the Math toolkit: Function minimization at minima.hpp with an example locating function minima.

  8. 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.

  9. Halley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_method

    In numerical analysis, Halley's method is a root-finding algorithm used for functions of one real variable with a continuous second derivative. Edmond Halley was an English mathematician and astronomer who introduced the method now called by his name.
