What's this?

A bracketing technique for computing a zero of a function

M. G. Cox *

Division of Numerical and Applied Mathematics, National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex, UK

An iterative technique for determining a real zero of a differentiable function is presented. At every stage the zero is bracketed, and as either bound approaches the zero, the method exhibits quadratic convergence. Numerical examples are given.

Received November 1968.
