Simple Fixed-Point Iteration Method

The simple fixed-point iteration method is an algorithm used to find the roots of functions. It involves rearranging the function into the form x=g(x) and then repeatedly substituting the previous x value into the right side to get the new x value on the left side, until the error is below a stopping criterion. The steps are to rearrange the function, provide an initial x value, substitute the latest x into g(x) on each iteration, and stop when the error is small enough. Examples of rearranging functions are given.

Open Method
Simple Fixed-Point Iteration
• Also called:
– one point iteration
– successive substitution

• Can be done by rearranging f(x)=0 so that x is on the left side.


f(x)=0 --> x=g(x)
Simple Fixed-Point Iteration
• For Example:

– x2+10x-2 = 0 --> x = (2-x2)/10

– e-x-x = 0 --> x = e-x

– ln (x) +3 = 0 --> x = ln (x) + x

Substitute the previous x value in the right side to get the new x in
the left side repeatedly.
Simple Fixed-Point Iteration Algorithm:
Step 1: rearranage the function to form: xi+1= g(xi).

Step 2: provide an initial x value (x0).

Step 3: Substitute latest value of x to g(xi).

Step 4: if error is less than or equal to the stopping criterion, STOP, then xi+1 is
the root.
