    Rootfinding for Nonlinear Equations

    24. Which of the following iterations will converge to the indicated fixed point alpha (provided x_0 is sufficiently close to alpha)? If it does converge, five the order of convergence, for linear convergence, give the rate of linear convergence. a) x_n+1 = -16 + 6x_m + 12/x_n alpha = 2 b) x_n+1 = 2/3x_n + 1/(x_n)^2

    Using a Summation Series to Estimate a Quantity

    Say the only tool given to you is a calculator which performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Let X= Summation (k=1 -->n) e^-(k/n)^2 with N^20 Explain a practical way of computing X within an error of 10^8. Roughly how big is X?

    Prove rigorously: Let N be an integer > or equal to 2, and let Xsub0....Xsubn E [0,1). Prove that there exist i and j with i not equal to j such that abs (xsubi-xsubj) < 1/n.

    Real Analysis : Bounded Continuity / Differentiability

    Problem: Let f: [0, &#8734;) &#8594; R be a bounded function. For all X greater than or equal to 0, let G(x)=sup{f(t): 0 is less than or equal to t is less than or equal to x} a) Show that if f is continuous, g is also continuous. Is the converse also true? Justify. b) If f is differentiable and continuous, is g also d
