There are in nite many ways to introduce an equivalent xed point
Fixed-point Iteration - USM

This formulation of the original problem f(x) = 0 will leads to a simple solution method known as xed-point iteration. Before we describe
Math 128a: Fixed Point Iteration
math.berkeley.edu › ~andrewshi › 128a_notes1 Fixed Point Iteration 1.1 What it is and Motivation Consider some function g(x) (we are almost always interested in continuous functions in this class). De ne a xed point of g(x) to be some value psuch that g(p) = p. Say we want to nd a xed point of a given g(x). One obvious thing to do is to try xed point iteration. Pick some starting value x
