In this case a and b are said to bracket a root since, by the intermediate value theorem, the continuous function f must have at least one root in the interval (a, b). At each step the method divides the interval in two parts/halves by computing the midpoint c = (a+b) / 2 of the interval and the value of the function f(c) at that point.
Finding roots in a specific region of the complex plane, typically the real roots or the real roots in a given interval (for example, when roots represents a physical quantity, only the real positive ones are interesting). For finding one root, Newton's method and other general iterative methods work generally well.
However, most root-finding algorithms do not guarantee that they will find all roots of a function, and if such an algorithm does not find any root, that does not necessarily mean that no root exists. Most numerical root-finding methods are iterative methods, producing a sequence of numbers that ideally converges towards a root as a limit.
Interval arithmetic — represent every number by two floating-point numbers guaranteed to have the unknown number between them Interval contractor — maps interval to subinterval which still contains the unknown exact answer; Interval propagation — contracting interval domains without removing any value consistent with the constraints
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.
If the function () is twice differentiable and the root is simple, then the intervals produced by the ITP method converges to 0 with an order of convergence of if or if = and () / is not a power of 2 with the term / not too close to zero (Theorem 2.3 of [3]).

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 .
