Newton’s Method
www.math.usm.edu › lambers › mat419Newton’s Method is an iterative method that computes an approximate solution to the system of equations g(x) = 0. The method requires an initial guess x(0) as input. It then computes subsequent iterates x(1), x(2), ::: that, hopefully, will converge to a solution x of g(x) = 0. The idea behind Newton’s Method is to approximate g(x) near the ...
Newton's method - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_methodThe following is an implementation example of the Newton's method in the Julia programming language for finding a root of a function f which has derivative fprime. The initial guess will be x0 = 1 and the function will be f(x) = x − 2 so that f′(x) = 2x. Each new iteration of Newton's method will be denoted by x1. We will check during the computation whether the denominator (yprime) becomes too small (smaller than epsilon), whic…
