Beyond Newton: A New Root-Finding Fixed-Point Iteration for Nonlinear Equations

Finding roots of equations is at the heart of most computational science. A well-known and widely used iterative algorithm is Newton’s method. However, its convergence depends heavily on the initial guess, with poor choices often leading to slow convergence or even divergence. In this short note, we...
