Newton’s Method
https://www.math.usm.edu/lambers/mat419/lecture9.pdfNewton’s Method Finding the minimum of the function f(x), where f : D Rn!R, requires nding its critical points, at which rf(x) = 0. In general, however, solving this system of equations can be quite di cult. Therefore, it is often necessary to use numerical methods that …

In practice, we instead usedamped Newton’s method(i.e., Newton’s method), which repeats x+ = x t r2f(x) 1 rf(x) Note that the pure method uses t= 1 Step sizes here typically are chosen bybacktracking search, with parameters 0 < 1=2, 0 < <1. At each iteration, we start with t= 1 ...

Unfortunately, this method, while guaranteed to nd a solution on an interval that is known to contain one, is not practical because of the large number of iterations that are

However, this is not enough to guarantee convergence. Example: f(x) = p 1 + x2. The minimizer of f over R is of course x = 0. The
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 ...
