10 Multiplicity 10

11 Definition 11

12 Multiplicity for polynomials For polynomials, multiplicity can be determined by factoring the polynomial That s easy, but 12

13 For non-polynomials What about this f x = 0, where f x = 2x + ln 1 x 1+x Clearly, f 0 = 0, so the f(x) has a root at x = 0 But what is the multiplicity? f 0 = f 0 = f 0 = 0, but f 0 = 4 the equation has answer a root of multiplicity 3 at x = 0 13

14 14

15 15

16 For non-polynomials What about this f x = 0, where f x = 2x + ln 1 x 1+x Clearly, f 0 = 0, so the f(x) has a root at x = 0 But what is the multiplicity? f 0 = f 0 = f 0 = 0, but f 0 = 4 the equation has a root of multiplicity 3 at x = 0 16

17 Rootfinding methods 2 categories simple enclosure methods fixed point iteration schemes Simple enclosure bisection and false position guaranteed to converge to a root, but slow Fixed point iteration Newton s method and secant method fast, but require stronger conditions to guarantee convergence 17

18 18

19 A pathological example 19

20 2.1 The Bisection Method 20

21 Bisection method The most basic simple enclosure method All simple enclosure methods are based on Intermediate Value Theorem 21

22 Drawing proof for Intermediate Value Theorem 22

23 In Plain English Find an interval of that the endpoints are opposite sign Since one endpoint value is positive and the other negative, zero is somewhere between the values, that is, at least one root on that interval 23

24 Bisection method The objective is to systematically shrink the size of that root enclosing interval The simplest and most natural way is to cut the interval in half Next is to determine which half contains a root Intermediate Value Theorem, again Repeat the process on that half 24

25 Bisection method 25

26 In action f x = x 3 + 2x 2 3x 1, and a 1, b 1 = (1,2) 26

27 27

28 28

29 Any Questions? 29

30 You know what the bisection method is, but so far it is not an algorithm, why? 30

31 An algorithm requires a stopping condition 31

32 32

33 33

34 Note The bisection method converges to a root of f, not the root of f what s the difference? f a f b < 0 guarantees the existence of a root, but not uniqueness, and the bisection method converge to one of these roots The bisection method cannot locate roots of even multiplicity (the sign does not change on either side of such roots) is common to all simple enclosure techniques 34

35 Rate of convergence, O( 1 2 n) Order of convergence, α = 1 and λ =

36 We are now in position to select a stopping condition 36

37 Convergence measures For any rootfinding technique, we have 3 convergence measures to construct the stopping condition absolute error p n p < ε relative error p n p p n < ε test f(p n ) < ε 37

38 Which is the Best? No one is always better than another answer 38

39 39

40 Which is the Best? No one is always better than another 40

41 Algorithm Suppose that we decide to use the absolute error p n p < ε, but we don t know the value of p With the theorem, we can now construct an algorithm 41

42 42

43 Note Performance measure number of f evaluations rather than number of iterations (f could involve many floating point operations) Underflow both f(a) and f(p) will approaching zero work with the signs rather than the sign of the product f a f(p) 43

44 Summary of bisection method Advantage straightforward inexpensive (1 evaluation per iteration) guarantee to converge Disadvantage error estimation can be overly pessimistic (drawing for a extreme case of bisection method) 44

45 Any Questions? 2.1 The Bisection Method 45

46 2.2 The Method of False Position 46

47 False position Very similar to bisection method Only differ in selecting p n 47

48 48

49 Selecting p n False position uses more information values of f a n and f b n rather than just the signs 49

50 Which method is better? 50

51 Which method is better From another aspect to only the convergence rate bisection method provides a theoretical bound of error, but no error estimate false position provides computable error estimate (the only one advantage of false position) Thus, we can have a more appropriate stopping condition for false position (we will use this advantage in Section 2.6) 51

52 Since false position has no theoretical bound of error, it requires effort to prove the convergence 52

53 53

54 54

55 Convergence analysis One observation to proceed the convergence analysis one of the endpoints remains fixed the other endpoint is just the previous approximation Namely a n =a n-1, b n =p n-1 or b n =b n-1, a n =p n-1 observation 55

56 The first problem 56

57 The second problem 57

58 The third problem 58

59 59

60 Convergence analysis One observation to proceed the convergence analysis one of the endpoints remains fixed the other endpoint is just the previous approximation Namely a n = a n 1, b n = p n 1 or b n = b n 1, a n = p n 1 60

61 Go back to the equation (4) b n p = p n 1 p = e n 1 61

62 62

63 Any Questions? 63

64 Guarantee to convergence Now we know e n λe n 1 One question that remains is whether answer λ is less than 1 64

65 Guarantee to convergence Now we know e n λe n 1 One question that remains is whether λ is less than 1 65

66 The first condition The remaining three conditions can be proved in a similar fashion 66

67 Now it s time to select a stopping condition 67

68 Stopping condition Suppose the absolute error is used We have e n λe n 1 We have to estimate e n 68

69 69

70 The first problem 70

71 The second problem 71

72 The third problem 72
