Iteration method
In computational mathematics, an iterative method is
a mathematical procedure that generates a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a class of problems, in which the n-th approximation is derived from the previous ones. A specific implementation of an iterative method, including the termination criteria, is an algorithm of the iterative method. An iterative method is called convergent if the corresponding sequence converges for given initial approximations.. In the problems of finding the root of an equation (or a solution of a system of equations), an iterative method uses an initial guess to generate successive approximations to a solution. The bisection method in mathematics is a root- finding methodthat repeatedly bisects an interval and then selects a subinterval in which a root must lie for further processing. ... The method is also called the interval halving method, the binary search method, or the dichotomy method. Bisection Method Algorithm: Start Read x1, x2, e *Here x1 and x2 are initial guesses e is the absolute error i.e. the desired degree of accuracy* Compute: f1 = f(x1) and f2 = f(x2) If (f1*f2) > 0, then display initial guesses are wrong and goto (11). Otherwise continue. x = (x1 + x2)/2 If ( [ (x1 – x2)/x ] < e ), then display x and goto (11). * Here [ ] refers to the modulus sign. * Else, f = f(x) If ((f*f1) > 0), then x1 = x and f1 = f. Else, x2 = x and f2 = f. Goto (5). *Now the loop continues with new values.* Stop In numerical analysis, Newton's method (also known as the Newton–Raphson method), named after IsaacNewton and Joseph Raphson, is a method for finding successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real- valued function. It is one example of a root- finding algorithm. GAUSS ELIMINATION METHOD:
To perform row reduction on a matrix, one uses a
sequence of elementary row operations to modify the matrix until the lower left-hand corner of the matrix is filled with zeros, as much as possible. There are three types of elementary row operations: 1) Swapping two rows, 2) Multiplying a row by a non-zero number, 3) Adding a multiple of one row to another row. Using these operations, a matrix can always be transformed into an upper triangular matrix, and in fact one that is in row echelon form. Once all of the leading coefficients (the left-most non-zero entry in each row) are 1, and every column containing a leading coefficient has zeros elsewhere, the matrix is said to be in reduced row echelon form. This final form is unique
