Sec:6.1 Fixed- Point Iteration The number ? is a fixed point for a given function ? if. ? = ? ? Example: A fixed point for g occurs precisely when the graph of ? = ?(?) intersects the graph of ? = ? Determine any fixed points of the function ?(?) = ?2 2. solution ? = ?(?) ? = ?2 2 0 = ?2 ? 2 ? = 1,? = 2
Sec:6.1 Fixed- Point Iteration The derivative mean-value theorem states that if a function ?(?) and its first derivative are continuous over an interval ? ? ?, then there exists at least one value of ? = ? within the interval such that ? ? ? ? = ? ? (? ?) ?(?) ?(?) ? ? ? (? ) = The right-hand side of this equation is the slope of the line joining ?(?) and ?(?). Slope of the tangent line is ? (? ) Slope of this line is ?(?) ?(?) ? ? ?
Sec:6.1 Fixed- Point Iteration Example1 simple fixed-point iteration ?2 2? + 3 = 0 Step 1 can be simply manipulated to yield ? =?2+ 3 rearranging the function 2 ? = ?(?) ? (?) = ? so that x is on the left-hand side of the equation: ? = ?(?) (*) Example2 sin(?) = 0 can be simply manipulated to yield ? = ? + sin(?) ? = ?(?) Step 2 given an initial guess at the root ??, (*) can be used to compute a new estimate ??+1as expressed by the iterative formula Note Convert the problem from root- finding to finding fixed-point ??+?= ?(??)

Starting with an initial guess of x0 = 0 = ? ?= ? ??= ? ?? = ? ?= 0.367879 ??= ? ?? = ? ?.??????= 0.692201 ??= ? ?? Thus, each iteration brings the estimate closer to the true value of the root: 0.56714329

This property, called linear convergence

( If ? ? the iterative equation is < ? ) the errors decrease with each iteration ??+?= ?(??) Subtracting these equations yields ??,?+? < ??,? ?? ??+?= ? ?? ?(??)
