Iterative Methods To Solve Systems Of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations, Md Shafiful Alam
Iterative Methods To Solve Systems Of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations, Md Shafiful Alam
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Iterative methods have been a very important area of study in numerical analysis since the inception of computational science. Their use ranges from solving algebraic equations to systems of differential equations and many more. In this thesis, we discuss several iterative methods, however our main focus is Newton's method. We present a detailed study of Newton's method, its order of convergence and the asymptotic error constant when solving problems of various types as well as analyze several pitfalls, which can affect convergence. We also pose some necessary and sufficient conditions on the function f for higher order of convergence. Different …
