The Secant Method is a numerical technique used to find the roots of a real-valued function. It approximates the root by iteratively refining estimates based on the secant line between two points on the function's graph, converging to a solution without requiring the computation of derivatives.

Key research themes

1. How can the Secant Method be generalized and what are the implications for convergence order and applicability?

This theme explores generalizations of the classic secant method by replacing linear interpolation with higher-degree polynomial interpolations or modifying update strategies. The investigations focus on theoretical convergence orders extending beyond the classical golden ratio, computational efficiency by requiring only one function evaluation per iteration, and applications including complex roots. Understanding these generalizations aids in broadening the scope of the secant method, enhancing convergence speed, and extending applicability to a wider class of nonlinear equations.

This theme covers methodological advancements that utilize secant-type iterative ideas to enhance convergence rates from super-linear to cubic or super-quadratic, reduce computational overhead via diagonal or approximate Jacobian updates, or incorporate fractional calculus frameworks. These innovations aim for faster, more stable numerical solvers applicable in nonlinear root-finding, least squares problems, or optimization contexts, balancing accuracy, convergence speed, and computational cost.
