Graeffes Method

Oscar Veliz 2022-06-06 | Graeffe's Root-Squaring Method (also called Graeffe-Dandelin-Lobachevskiĭ or Dandelin–Lobachesky–Graeffe method) for finding roots of polynomials. The method solves for all of the roots of a polynomial by only using the coefficients and does not require derivatives nor an interation function. This lesson provides a history of the method, motivates "why" the method works, and walks through an example of root-squaring as well as solving for the roots using logarithms.

Fixed Point Iteration

Oscar Veliz 2011-03-27 | Fixed Point Iteration method for finding roots of functions.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Where did 1.618 come from?
If you keep iterating the example will eventually converge on 1.61803398875... which is (1+sqrt(5))/2.

Why not use x = x^2 -1?
Generally you try to reduce the degree of the polynomial you're trying to find the root for.

How did you pick x1?
Your starting point should be an educated guess, a point in the neighborhood of your root.

How can you use the convergence test without the root?
Think of the convergence test as more of "will this function converge to this root?" When you don't know the root, try iterating a few times to see if the function is converging, bouncing around in a loop, or going to infinity. It will become apparent very quickly.

What happens if a function fails the convergence test?
Failing the test means that the function is not guaranteed to converge. It might still converge but it makes no promises. Take the function which I showed fail in the example. If you iterate starting from the root that we found, the function might converge to the same value depending on your calculator's accuracy.

Doesn't this function have two roots? Is there a way to find the second one?
Indeed this function has two roots (1+sqrt(5))/2 and (1-sqrt(5))/2 which are the numbers φ (phi) and ψ (psi). I showed how the first example converged to phi and that the other did not for simplicity. You can use the second equation to converge on psi if you start close enough, like -1 for example.

Is there any way to use x = +/- sqrt(x + 1)?
In this case you can use x = sqrt(x+1) which will converge to 1.618 as long as the value inside the square root is positive. If you try to take the square root of a negative number you will have to use imaginary and complex numbers.

Is there a way to speed up Fixed Point Iteration?
Yes, check out my video on Steffensen's Method with Aitken's Δ² youtu.be/BTYTj0r5PZE and my video on Wegstein's Method youtu.be/T_6mR6rJXQQ

How can I force Fixed Point Iteration to converge?
There is a very simple change you can make to induce convergence called Wegstein's Method youtu.be/T_6mR6rJXQQ

Can you make a video that answers these questions?
