Method of False Position (or Regula Falsi Method)
facstaff.cbu.edu › ~wschrein › mediaMethod of False Position (or Regula Falsi Method) nalib The method of false position is a hybrid of bisection and the secant method. It incorporates the bracketing of the bisection method with the secant method. You begin with two initial approximations p 0 and p 1 which bracket the root and have f p 0 f p 1 < 0. We stay with our original ...

When False‐Position Fails Slide 18 The false‐position method can fail or exhibit extremely slow convergence when the function is highly nonlinear between the bounds. This happens because the estimated root is a linear fit and a very poor estimate of a nonlinear function.
