  2. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    When p = ±3, the above values of t 0 are sometimes called the Chebyshev cube root. [29] More precisely, the values involving cosines and hyperbolic cosines define, when p = −3, the same analytic function denoted C 1/3 (q), which is the proper Chebyshev cube root. The value involving hyperbolic sines is similarly denoted S 1/3 (q), when p = 3.

  3. Polynomial root-finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding

    For finding one root, Newton's method and other general iterative methods work generally well. 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.

  4. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    The ITP method is the only known method to bracket the root with the same worst case guarantees of the bisection method while guaranteeing a superlinear convergence to the root of smooth functions as the secant method. It is also the only known method guaranteed to outperform the bisection method on the average for any continuous distribution ...

  5. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In mathematics, a zero (also sometimes called a root) of a real-, complex-, or generally vector-valued function, is a member of the domain of such that () vanishes at ; that is, the function attains the value of 0 at , or equivalently, is a solution to the equation () =. [1] A "zero" of a function is thus an input value that produces an output ...

  6. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    In mathematics, a cube root of a number x is a number y that has the given number as its third power; that is =. The number of cube roots of a number depends on the number system that is considered. Every real number x has exactly one real cube root that is denoted x 3 {\textstyle {\sqrt[{3}]{x}}} and called the real cube root of x or simply ...

  7. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    For n equal to 2 this is called the principal square root and the n is omitted. The nth root can also be represented using exponentiation as x 1/n. For even values of n, positive numbers also have a negative nth root, while negative numbers do not have a real nth root. For odd values of n, every negative number x has a real negative nth root.

  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. 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 x 0 and x 1, the method proceeds according to the recurrence relation
