Exercise · ZW-FIXED-POINT-ITERATION-001 · ★☆☆ Basic
What is the general formula of fixed-point iteration?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \( x_{n+1} = g(x_n) \)
Explanation
Fixed-point iteration applies the function \( g \) directly to the previous value. The other options describe different methods or incorrect combinations.
Review the concept: Fixed-point iteration
Iterative method that approximates a solution of the equation \( x = g(x) \) by generating the sequence \( x_{n+1} = g(x_n) \) from an initial value \( x_0 \).
\[x_{n+1} = g(x_n), \quad |g'(p)| < 1 \Rightarrow \text{convergencia local}\]
