Abstract
En 中文
An efficient method for finding an initial approximation to a real root of nonlinear equation f(x) = 0 is proposed. The presented approach is based on numerical integration of the transform functions tanh m(f(x)), arctan m(f(x)) (m > 0) and sgn (f(x)) of sigmoidal type. Combining numerical integration method and rapidly convergent iterative methods, we construct a hybrid method of great efficiency. The introduced sigmoid-like functions are also convenient for the detection of a cluster of zeros or a multiple zero lying in a given interval. The presented numerical examples demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed procedures. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
