  2. Fixed-point iteration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_iteration

    The fixed point iteration xn+1 = cos xn with initial value x1 = −1. An attracting fixed point of a function f is a fixed point xfix of f with a neighborhood U of "close enough" points around xfix such that for any value of x in U, the fixed-point iteration sequence is contained in U and converges to xfix. The basin of attraction of xfix is ...

  3. Fixed point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_point_(mathematics)

    Fixed point (mathematics) The function (shown in red) has the fixed points 0, 1, and 2. In mathematics, a fixed point (sometimes shortened to fixpoint), also known as an invariant point, is a value that does not change under a given transformation. Specifically, for functions, a fixed point is an element that is mapped to itself by the function.

  4. Fixed-point computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_computation

    Fixed-point computation refers to the process of computing an exact or approximate fixed point of a given function. [1] In its most common form, the given function satisfies the condition to the Brouwer fixed-point theorem: that is, is continuous and maps the unit d -cube to itself. The Brouwer fixed-point theorem guarantees that has a fixed ...

  6. Fixed-point theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_theorem

    The Banach fixed-point theorem (1922) gives a general criterion guaranteeing that, if it is satisfied, the procedure of iterating a function yields a fixed point. [2]By contrast, the Brouwer fixed-point theorem (1911) is a non-constructive result: it says that any continuous function from the closed unit ball in n-dimensional Euclidean space to itself must have a fixed point, [3] but it doesn ...

  7. Gauss–Seidel method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Seidel_method

    Gauss–Seidel method. In numerical linear algebra, the Gauss–Seidel method, also known as the Liebmann method or the method of successive displacement, is an iterative method used to solve a system of linear equations. It is named after the German mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauss and Philipp Ludwig von Seidel.

  8. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    A practical method to calculate the order of convergence for a sequence generated by a fixed point iteration is to calculate the following sequence, ...

  9. Backward Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_Euler_method

    In numerical analysis and scientific computing, the backward Euler method (or implicit Euler method) is one of the most basic numerical methods for the solution of ordinary differential equations. It is similar to the (standard) Euler method, but differs in that it is an implicit method.
