  2. Steffensen's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffensen's_method

    The price for the quick convergence is the double function evaluation: Both and (+) must be calculated, which might be time-consuming if is a complicated function. For comparison, the secant method needs only one function evaluation per step. The secant method increases the number of correct digits by "only" a factor of roughly 1.6 per step ...

  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. Brent's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent's_method

    Brent's method. In numerical analysis, Brent's method is a hybrid root-finding algorithm combining the bisection method, the secant method and inverse quadratic interpolation. It has the reliability of bisection but it can be as quick as some of the less-reliable methods. The algorithm tries to use the potentially fast-converging secant method ...

  5. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    Root-finding algorithm. In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called "roots", of continuous functions. A zero of a function f is a number x such that f(x) = 0. As, generally, the zeros of a function cannot be computed exactly nor expressed in closed form, root-finding algorithms provide ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method

    In numerical analysis, the secant method is a root-finding algorithm that uses a succession of roots of secant lines to better approximate a root of a function f. The secant method can be thought of as a finite-difference approximation of Newton's method, so it is considered a quasi-Newton method. Historically, it is as an evolution of the ...

  8. Aberth method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberth_method

    The Aberth method, or Aberth–Ehrlich method or Ehrlich–Aberth method, named after Oliver Aberth [1] and Louis W. Ehrlich, [2] is a root-finding algorithm developed in 1967 for simultaneous approximation of all the roots of a univariate polynomial. This method converges cubically, an improvement over the Durand–Kerner method, another ...

  9. Jenkins–Traub algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins–Traub_algorithm

    The Jenkins–Traub algorithm calculates all of the roots of a polynomial with complex coefficients. The algorithm starts by checking the polynomial for the occurrence of very large or very small roots. If necessary, the coefficients are rescaled by a rescaling of the variable. In the algorithm, proper roots are found one by one and generally ...
