... Note: not only is limx→x0 f (x) − L(x) = 0, but it approaches zero “faster” than x − x0 approaches zero. Linear functions are “simple.” So, differential calculus is largely about approximating complicated functions by simple functions. If y = f (x) is interpreted as position and x as time, then f 0( ...

... Remark 1.6. As far as upper bounds are concerned, the methods used in this paper can be adapted to cover more general cases referring to Poisson approximation see, e.g., the Introduction in 2 and the references therein . However, the obtention of efficient algorithms leading to exact values is a mo ...

Solving non-linear equations
... • The fixed point iteration method requires us to rewrite the equation f(x) = 0 in the form x = g(x), then finding x=a such that a = g(a), which is equivalent to f(a) = 0. • The value of x such that x = g(x) is called a fixed point of g(x). • Fixed point iteration essentially solves two functions s ...
