Hello,
How do i find the interval in which using Fixed-Point iteration method, the iteration will converge ?

The Fixed-Point Iteration Method is a numerical method used to approximate the solution of a given equation. It involves repeatedly applying a fixed function to an initial guess until the desired level of accuracy is reached.
The method starts with an initial guess of the solution, denoted as x0. Then, the function f(x) is applied to this initial guess to obtain a new value x1. This new value is then used as the next guess, and the process is repeated until the desired level of accuracy is achieved. The formula for this method is xn+1 = f(xn).
The Fixed-Point Iteration Method is relatively simple to implement and does not require advanced mathematical knowledge. It can also be used to approximate the solution of a wide range of equations, including nonlinear equations. Additionally, the method can easily be adapted to handle multiple equations simultaneously.
One limitation of the method is that it may not always converge to the true solution. This can occur if the initial guess is chosen poorly or if the function f(x) does not meet certain criteria, such as being continuously differentiable. The method also requires a significant number of iterations to achieve a high level of accuracy, which can be time-consuming.
To improve the convergence of the method, techniques such as Aitken's delta-squared process or Steffensen's method can be used. These methods involve using multiple iterations in each step to accelerate the convergence. Additionally, choosing a good initial guess and checking the conditions for convergence can help improve the accuracy of the method.
