N-R Method:

Advantages:
Converges Fast (if it converges).
Requires only one guess.

N.B.V yas Department of M athematics, AIT S Rajkot

Drawbacks:
Divergence at inflection point.
Selection of the initial guess or an iteration value of the root that
is close to the inflection point of the function f (x) may start
diverging away from the root in the Newton-Raphson method.

N.B.V yas Department of M athematics, AIT S Rajkot

N-R Method:(Drawbacks)
Results obtained from the N-R method may oscillate about
the local maximum or minimum without converging on a
root but converging on the local maximum or minimum.
For example for f (x) = x2 + 2 = 0 the equation has no real roots.

Geometrical interpretation of Secant Method:


Consider a continuous function y = f (x)
Draw the straight line through the points (xn , f (xn )) and
(xn1 , f (xn1 ))
Take the xcoordinate of intersection with Xaxis as xn+1
From the figure ABE and DCE are similar triangles.

Secant Method

NOTE:
Do not combine the secant formula and write it in the form as
follows because it has enormous loss of significance errors
xn f (xn1 ) xn1 f (xn )
xn+1 =
f (xn1 ) f (xn )

General Features:
The secant method is an open method and may not converge.
It requires fewer function evaluations.
In some problems the secant method will work when Newtons
method does not and vice-versa.

The method is usually a bit slower than Newtons method. It is
more rapidly convergent than the bisection method.

Secant Method

Disadvantages:
There is no guaranteed error bound for the computed value.

Secant Method

Disadvantages:
There is no guaranteed error bound for the computed value.
It is likely to difficulty of f 0 (x) = 0. This means Xaxis is
tangent to the graph of y = f (x)
