The solution of the nonlinear equation/system of equations F(x)=0 sought is a limit of a sequence of elements, and each element can be generated based on the previous ones. Initial elements are supposed to be given. Usual iterative methods are the Newton method, the secant method, etc.
Approximation of the roots of equations by Aitken-Steffensen-type monotonic sequences
Abstract We study the conditions under which the well-known Aitken-Steffensen method for solving equations leads to monotonic sequences whose terms…
