Newton's method and Schwarzian derivatives

Julian Palmore

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We discuss Newton's method with respect to obtaining convergence to a fixed point with orders of convergence greater than 2. We identify the role played by the Schwarzian derivative in controlling the convergence of Newton's map to a super stable fixed point.
