Secant method electric engineering
This method is an improvement over the method of false position as it does not require
In numerical analysis, the secant method is a root-finding algorithm that uses a succession of roots of secant lines to better approximate a root of a function f. The secant method can be thought of as a finite-difference approximation of Newton's method. However, the secant method predates Newton's method by over 3000 years.[1]
The first two iterations of the secant method. The red curve shows the function f, and the blue lines are the secants. For this particular case, the secant method will not converge to the visible root.
The secant method is defined by the recurrence relation
As can be seen from the recurrence relation, the secant method requires two initial values, x0 and x1, which should ideally be chosen to lie close to the root.
