Study Notes
Nonlinear Equations
- Nonlinear equations are equations of the form f(x) = 0, where f(x) is a nonlinear function.
- Finding the roots (solutions) of these equations is a common problem in practical applications.
- Exact solutions are not always possible.
- Iterative methods are used to approximate solutions.
Introduction to Nonlinear Equations
- The key idea in approximating real roots of f(x)=0 involves two steps:
- Starting Step: Pick initial points (xi) around a root.
- Improving Step: Refine these initial points iteratively to get closer to the root.
Closed Domain Methods
- These methods require an interval [a, b] containing at least one root.
- The interval is repeatedly narrowed down to locate the root.
- These are also known as bracketing methods.
Bisection Method
- A simple closed domain method.
- An interval [a, b] is halved repeatedly.
- The subinterval containing the root is retained.
Bisection Method Steps
- Start with an interval [a,b] where f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs.
- Calculate the midpoint c = (a + b) / 2.
- Evaluate f(c).
- If f(c) = 0, you've found the root.
- If f(c) * f(a) < 0, the root is in the interval [a, c]. Update b = c.
- Otherwise, the root is in the interval [c, b]. Update a = c.
- Repeat steps 2-4 until the desired accuracy is achieved.
Bisection Method Algorithm
- Define initial interval [a₀, b₀] such that f(a₀)f(b₀)< 0.
- Calculate the midpoint, x₁ = (a₀ + b₀) / 2.
- If f(x₁) = 0, x₁ is the root.
- If f(a₀) and f(x₁) have opposite signs, update b₁ = x₁.
- If f(x₁) and f(b₀) have opposite signs, update a₁ = x₁.
Convergence and Error Estimate of Bisection Method
- The error of the approximation reduces by half in each iteration.
- The error bound is given by: |xn - r| ≤ (b - a) / 2ⁿ, where xn is the nth approximation, r is the true root, and (b – a) is the initial interval width.
