|f(x0)f''(x0)|<|f'(x0)|^2 where I is the interval containing the approximate root x0, is the convergence criterion of ...

(a) Newton - Raphson method
(b) Iteration method
(c) Secant method
(d) False position method

According to me its (a), but I confused because this formula is not directly given anywhere I had searched a lot on the internet, can anybody confirm what is the correct answer

Thanks a lot in advance

Wellcome on MHB $SS^{2}$!...

... remembering the Newton iterations...

$$x_{n+1}= x_{n} - \frac{f(x_{n})}{f^{\ '} (x_{n})}\ (1) $$

... if is... $$\frac{|f(x_{0})\ f^{\ '}(x_{0})|}{|f^{\ '\ 2}(x_{0})|}= \frac{|f(x_{0})|}{|f^{\ '}(x_{0}|}= a < 1\ (2)$$

... and that holds for any $x_{0}$. then the sequence of $x_{n}$ obeys to the difference equation... $$ x_{n+1} - x_{n}= (\pm a)^{n}\ (3)$$... and it converges... Kind regards $\chi$ $\sigma$

so I was right answer is Newton Rapshon option a, Thanks a lot for explanation
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
