Newton's method is actually a special case of what is generally known as a fixed point method. These methods rely on the Fixed point Theorem: ...

In many iterative schemes, the precision of each step depends on the computational effort spent on that step. A method of specifying a suitable amount of computation at each step is described. The ...

Anderson acceleration is an optimisation technique designed to improve the convergence of fixed-point iterations, a common approach utilised in solving nonlinear equations. By blending current and ...

In a recent survey conducted by AccelChip Inc. (recently acquired by Xilinx), 53% of the respondents identified floating- to fixed-point conversion as the most difficult aspect of implementing an ...
