  2. 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 ...

  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. Zero stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_stability

    A linear multistep method is zero-stable if all roots of the characteristic equation that arises on applying the method to ′ = have magnitude less than or equal to unity, and that all roots with unit magnitude are simple. [2]

  5. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    In mathematical analysis, the Dirac delta function (or δ distribution), also known as the unit impulse, [1] is a generalized function on the real numbers, whose value is zero everywhere except at zero, and whose integral over the entire real line is equal to one. [2] [3] [4] Thus it can be represented heuristically as

  6. 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.

  7. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    But, in the absence of any intuition about where the zero might lie, a "guess and check" method might narrow the possibilities to a reasonably small interval by appealing to the intermediate value theorem.) The method will usually converge, provided this initial guess is close enough to the unknown zero, and that f ′ (x 0) ≠ 0. Furthermore ...

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

  9. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    The number zero has a unique cube root, which is zero itself. The cube root is a multivalued function. The principal cube root is its principal value, that is a unique cube root that has been chosen once for all. The principal cube root is the cube root with the largest real part. In the case of negative real numbers, the largest real part is ...
