  2. Nested intervals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_intervals

    Since () is a sequence of nested intervals, the interval lengths get arbitrarily small; in particular, there exists an interval with a length smaller than . But from s ∈ I n {\displaystyle s\in I_{n}} one gets s − a n < s − σ {\displaystyle s-a_{n}<s-\sigma } and therefore a n > σ {\displaystyle a_{n}>\sigma } .

  3. Golden-section search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden-section_search

    The golden-section search is a technique for finding an extremum (minimum or maximum) of a function inside a specified interval. For a strictly unimodal function with an extremum inside the interval, it will find that extremum, while for an interval containing multiple extrema (possibly including the interval boundaries), it will converge to one of them.

  4. Simpson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rule

    Namely, composite Simpson's 1/3 rule requires 1.8 times more points to achieve the same accuracy as trapezoidal rule. [8] Composite Simpson's 3/8 rule is even less accurate. Integration by Simpson's 1/3 rule can be represented as a weighted average with 2/3 of the value coming from integration by the trapezoidal rule with step h and 1/3 of the ...

  5. Interval arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_arithmetic

    The main objective of interval arithmetic is to provide a simple way of calculating upper and lower bounds of a function's range in one or more variables. These endpoints are not necessarily the true supremum or infimum of a range since the precise calculation of those values can be difficult or impossible; the bounds only need to contain the function's range as a subset.

  6. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    A few steps of the bisection method applied over the starting range [a 1;b 1].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.

  8. Inverse transform sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_transform_sampling

    Inverse transform sampling (also known as inversion sampling, the inverse probability integral transform, the inverse transformation method, or the Smirnov transform) is a basic method for pseudo-random number sampling, i.e., for generating sample numbers at random from any probability distribution given its cumulative distribution function.
