Computational Physics Assignment # 2 Due on:

Attempt using Python.

1. Find a root of f ( x )=exp (−x ) −x=0 for x ∈ [ 0.2 ,1.8 ] using:


a. Subdividing the search interval in 1:2 ratio.
b. Subdividing the interval using the Golden ratio.
2. . Find root of f ( x )=ln ( x ) =0 by Newton Raphson’s method starting with
a. x 0=2.5
b. x 0=4.5
Discuss your results.
3. For f ( x )=0, show that it has roots same as those of u ( x )=f (x)/ f ' (x)=0. This implies
that one can use “Extended” Newton’s Method: instead of x i+1=x i−f ( x i) /f ' ( x i), one can
use: x i+1=x i−u ( xi )/u ' (x i). Compare the performance of the “Extended” with the
“Standard” Newton-Raphson Method taking f ( x )=exp (−x ) −x with starting point
x 0=0.8 .
4. Locate the root of f ( x )=2 sin ( √ x )−x=0 using fixed point iterations starting from
x 0=0.5 with convergence criteria: ϵ =10−3 .
5. Using Secant method, find a positive root of f ( x )=sin ( x )−cos ( 1+ x 2) −1=0 starting with
x i=3 , xi −1=1.5 and ϵ =10−5 .
