Iterative Methods and Their Dynamics with Applications : A Contemporary Study

In this book you can find theory and applications of classical and new iterative root-finding algorithms and families of iterative methods. Some recently discovered graphical tools are presented, studied, and used in order to find the best methods in convergence terms. Moreover, the differences between real and complex behaviors are presented. Finally, some real applications of the methods appear in the last chapter.

Iterative processes are the tools used to generate sequences approximating solutions of equations describing real life problems. Intended for researchers in computational sciences and as a reference book for advanced computational method in nonlinear analysis, this book is a collection of the recent results on the convergence analysis of numerical algorithms in both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces and presents several applications and connections with fixed point theory. It contains an abundant and updated bibliography and provides comparisons between various investigations made in recent years in the field of computational nonlinear analysis.

The book also provides recent advancements in the study of iterative procedures and can be used as a source to obtain the proper method to use in order to solve a problem. The book assumes a basic background in Mathematical Statistics, Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis and may be used as a self-study reference or as a supplementary text for an advanced course in Biosciences or Applied Sciences. Moreover, the newest techniques used to study the dynamics of iterative methods are described and used in the book and they are compared with the classical ones.
