Function Documentation

function secantOneVariable	(	in	obj,
		in	x0,
		in	a0,
		in	eps,
		in	maxiter
	)

Applies Newton's secant algorithm to solve $F(x)=0$ where $F:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ .

Parameters

obj	the name of the Octave function defining F(x)
x0	the starting point
a0	the first approximation of the derivative
eps	algorithm stops if $\|F(x)\| \leq \varepsilon$ .
maxiter	maximum number of iterations (Default: 100)
