Error using Newton-Raphson Iteration Method for Floating Point Division

天涯浪子 提交于 2019-12-23 01:52:19
问题 I am using the Newton-Raphson Algorithm to divide IEEE-754 single-precision floating point values using single precision hardware. I am using the method described at these two links: Wikipedia Newton-Raphson Division Newton-Raphson Method I'm Using However, despite computing Xi to X_3 (i.e. using 3 iterations), my answers are still off a bit. I'm wondering why this is so? I'm comparing my results using MATLAB. Here is the output showing an example of an incorrect result ===== DIVISION RESULT

SciPy optimisation: Newton-CG vs BFGS vs L-BFGS

问题 I am doing an optimisation problem using Scipy, where I am taking a flat network of vertices and bonds of size NNxNN , connecting two sides of it (i.e., making it periodic), and minimising an energy function, so that it curls up to form a cylinder. (See the links below.) Since I have the function energy(xyz-position) and it's gradient, I decided to use the three methods recommended in the Scipy manual -- Newton-CG , BFGS , L-BFGS-B -- and compare how they performed. I call the optimisation

Bisection method (Numerical analysis)

问题 How many recursions are made before every single root is found? Also, which ones are the roots? Here's my code: e=0.000001; f1=@(x) 14.*x.*exp(x-2)-12.*exp(x-2)-7.*x.^3+20.*x.^2-26.*x+12; a=0; c=3; while abs(c-a)>e b=(c+a)/2; if f1(a)*f1(b)<0 c=b; else a=b; end disp(b); end 回答1: Bisection works by taking endpoints of some initial interval [a,b] and finding which half of the interval must contain the root (it evaluates the midpoint, and identifies which half has the sign change). Then

Simulating orbits using laws of physics [closed]

问题 Closed . This question needs to be more focused. It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it focuses on one problem only by editing this post. Closed last month . Over the past couple of weeks I've been trying to simulate orbits in a solar system simulation I am making as part of a University module. To cut things short, my simulation is written in C++ using the Ogre3D rendering engine. I have attempted to implement orbits using Newton's law

Newton-Raphson Method in Matlab

荒凉一梦 提交于 2019-12-17 20:54:50
问题 I am new to matlab and I need to create a function that does n iterations of the Newton-Raphson method with starting approximation x = a. This starting approximation does not count as an interation and another requirement is that a for loop is required. I have looked at other similar questions posted but in my case I do not want to use a while loop. This is what my inputs are supposed to be: mynewton(f,a,n) which takes three inputs: f: A function handle for a function of x. a: A real number.

Newton Raphson with SSE2 - can someone explain me these 3 lines

问题 I'm reading this document: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/interactive-ray-tracing and I stumbled upon these three lines of code: The SIMD version is already quite a bit faster, but we can do better. Intel has added a fast 1/sqrt(x) function to the SSE2 instruction set. The only drawback is that its precision is limited. We need the precision, so we refine it using Newton-Rhapson: __m128 nr = _mm_rsqrt_ps( x ); __m128 muls = _mm_mul_ps( _mm_mul_ps( x, nr ), nr ); result = _mm_mul_ps(

问题 Algorithm to be coded in C#: fn = f(xn) f′n = df(xn)/dx ∆xn = -fn / f′n Update: xn+1 = xn + ∆xn Repeat the process until ∆xn ≤ e I must use the Newton-Raphson method to solve but I do not know how to do a loop that puts in the next answer each time. How do I compute this? This is my broken code double a = 1, Lspan = 30, Lcable = 33, fn, fdn, dfn, j; fn = (2 * a * (Math.Sinh(Lspan / 2 * a))) - Lcable; fdn = (2 * (Math.Sinh(Lspan / 2 * a)) - ((Lspan / 2 * a) * Math.Cosh(Lspan / 2 * a))); dfn =

How to tell if Newtons-Method Fails

我怕爱的太早我们不能终老 提交于 2019-12-11 12:47:00
问题 I am creating a basic Newton-method algorithm for an unconstrained optimization problem, and my results from the algorithm are not what I expected. It is a simple objective function so it is clear that the algorithm should converge on (1,1). This is confirmed by a gradient descent algorithm I created previously, here: def grad_descent(x, t, count, magnitude): xvalues.append(x) gradvalues.append(np.array([dfx1(x), dfx2(x)])) fvalues.append(f(x)) temp=x-t*dfx(x) x = temp magnitude = mag(dfx(x))
