The bisection method is an iterative approach used in numerical analysis to find solutions to nonlinear equations. The main purpose of this paper is to study how the parameters of a probability distribution characterizing the coefficients of a cubic polynomial can influence the convergence of the bisection method. The study covers discrete and cont...

... the above instructions in the MATLAB code stated in APPENDIX A, the mean and standard deviation of iteration (k) for a certain range [-r, r] of parameters over 100 trials were obtained, as shown in Table 1. From fig. 1, it is clear that resultant second degree polynomial equation can be used to predict the average iteration for a given parameter. ...Similar publications
Traffic sign poles are crucial components of the highway system, and their maintenance mainly relies on the subjective judgment of staff, which is low-efficiency and will lead to mistaken inspections. This paper proposes a convenient and effective method to monitor the health of sign poles by using a mobile phone. It is unknown whether a mobile pho...
Normally distributed random numbers are commonly used in scientific computing in various fields. It is important to generate a set of random numbers as close to a normal distribution as possible for reducing initial fluctuations. Two types of samples from a uniform distribution are examined as source samples for inverse transform sampling methods....
Fire is one of the principal factors influencing subalpine ecosystem succession. Species numbers and plant compositions are used to determine postfire disturbance, vegetation, structural change, and succession. Ecologists also integrate species diversity and mathematical models to enable researchers to obtain increasingly detailed insights into hab...
The reflector of a Chinese 500 m aperture spherical radio telescope is supported by a giant cable-net structure. In the actual operation process, active displacement observation is realized by connecting the actuators with the control cables to adjust the cable net, which requires high manufacturing and installation accuracy. In this study, an erro...
The traditional quality gain-loss function(QGLF) considers the case that the primary term loss cannot be ignored, does not consider the cubic term loss, but in practice the cubic term loss should not be ignored. In this paper, based on the existing QGLF model, the Taylor expansion is reserved to the third order, the determination of the quality los...
