Convergence Behavior

  • Converges quadratically (error drops dramatically each step) when initial guess is reasonably close

  • Shape of the convergence is the same, even with bad guesses

Why Linear Problems Converge in One Step

If the function is linear, jacobian is constant = solving for the 0 in one step

3
New cards

Linear Convergence happens when…

The root has multiplicity 1 when (x-a)^n, n =1, then the derivative vanishes

4
New cards

No real solution occurs when…

We divide by 0 or diverge

5
New cards

Newton’s method breaks when…

  • Jacobian / f’(x) = 0

  • No real solutions

  • Really bad guess
