In this paper, two new families of eighth-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations are presented. These methods are developed by combining a class of optimal two-point methods and a ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 30, No. 1 (Feb., 1993), pp. 286-303 (18 pages) Dynamic iteration or, more popularly, waveform relaxation has received a great deal of attention as an efficient ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...
