Solution of Algebraic and Transcendental Equations


The equation of the form
f ( x)

a0 x n

a1 x n

a2 x n

.......

an 1 x

an

0 ------------(A)

is called rational integral

equation
Here, a 0 0 , n is a positive integer, a0, a1, a2, ....., an are constants.
The rational integral equation is classified into two parts
1. Algebraic Equation
2. Transcendental Equation

Algebraic Equation
In this equation, f(x) is a polynomial purely in x as in (A)
Example: x 3 3x 1 0, x 4 2 x 3 3x 2 2 x 1 0

Transcendental Equation
In this equation, f(x) contains some other functions such as trigonometric,
logarithmic or exponential etc.,
Example: 3x-cosx-1=0, xlog10x-1.2=0.

Properties
1. If f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs then one root of f(x)=0 lies between a
and b
2. To find an equation whose roots are with opposites signs to those of the
given equ. change x to (x)
3. To find an equation whose roots are reciprocals of the roots of of the given
equ. change x to 1
x

4. Every equation of an odd degree has atleast one real root whose sign is
opposite to that of its last term.
5. Every equation of an even degree with last term negative have atleast a pair
of real roots one positive and other negative.

Methods for solving Algebraic and Transcendental Equations


Fixed point iteration: x = g(x) method (or) Method of successive
approximation.
Newtons method (or) Newtons Raphson method

Fixed point iteration: x = g(x) method (or) Method of successive


approximation
Let f(x) =0 be the given equation whose roots are to be determined.

Steps for this method


1. Use the first property find a and b where the roots lies between.
www.Vidyarthiplus.in

www.Vidyarthiplus.in

Write the given equation in the form x = (x) with the condition ' ( x) 1
Let the initial approximation be x0 which is lies in the interval (a, b)
Continue the process using xn = (xn-1)
If the difference between the two consecutive values of xn is very small then
we stop the process and that value is the root of the equation.
Convergence of iteration method
The iteration process converges quickly if ' ( x) 1 where x= (x) is the
given equation. If
will become infinitely large and hence this
' ( x) 1 , xn
process will not converge. The convergence is linear.
Example: Consider the equation f(x) = x3+x-1 = 0
we can write x= (x) in three types
1. x=1-x3
2. x 1
2.
3.
4.
5.

1 x2

3. x 1 x 1 3
but we take the type which has the convergence property
f(x) = x3+x-1
f(0)=-ve and f(1)=+ve
hence the root lies between 0 and 1
Now consider The equation (1.) x=1-x3

' ( x) 1

Here (x)= 1-x3 , (x)=-3x2


at x=0.9 (x)=-3(0.9)2
(x)=-3(0.81)=-2.81

' ( x) 1

this equation x=1-x3 will not converge


so the iteration will not work if we consider this equation
Now consider
the equation x 1
1 x2

Here

' ( x)

2x
(1 x 2 ) 2

at x=0.9
' ( x)

2 0.9
(1 0.9 2 ) 2

3.2761

0.5494

' ( x) 1

the equation is converge


we use this equation.
no need to consider the third type.
Problems based on Fixed point iteration
1. Find a real root of the equation x3+x2-1=0 by iteration method.
www.Vidyarthiplus.in

www.Vidyarthiplus.in

Solution:
Let f(x)= x3+x2-1
f(0)= -ve and f(1)=+ve

Hence a real root lies between 0 and 1.


Now can be written as x

In this type only ' ( x) 1 in (0, 1)

Here the difference between x6 and x7 is very small.


therefore the root of the equation is 0.75488
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Find the real root of the equation cosx = 3x-1, using iteration method.
Solution:
Let f(x)= cosx - 3x-1
f(0)= +ve and f(1)=-ve
A root lies between 0 and /2
The given equation can be written as

Since the values of x7 and x8 are equal, the required root is 0.60710
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3.
Find the negative root of the equation x3-2x+5=0
Solution:
The given equation is x3-2x+5=0 ------------------------------------------------(1)
we know that if , , are the roots of the equation (1), then the equation whose
roots are -, -, - is x3+(-1) 0 x2+(-1)2(-2x)+(-1)35=0------------------------(2)
The negative root of the equation (1) is same as the positive root of the equation
(2)
Let f(x)= x3-2x+5
Now f(2)=-ve and f(3) =+ve
Hence the root lies between 2 and 3. Equation (2) can be written as
1

( 2 x 5) 3

where

( x)

' ( x) 1 in (2, 3)

Let the initial approximation be x0=2


Since the values of x6 and x7 are equal, the root is 2.09455

Therefore the negative root of the given equation is -2.09455

Use the first property find a and b where the roots lies between.
The initial approximation x0 is a if f (a) f (b) ; the initial approximation x0
is b if f (b) f (a) in the interval (a, b).
Use the formula and continue the process
If the difference between the two consecutive values of xn+1 is very small
then we stop the process and that value is the root of the equ.

Note
The process will evidently fail if f(x) = 0 in the neighbourhood of the root.
In such cases Regula-Falsi method should be used.
If we choose initial approximation x0 close to the root then we get the root of
the equ. very quickly.

FORMULA: x

af (b) bf (a )
f (b) f (a )

This is the first approximation to the actual root.


Now if f(x1) and f(a) are of opposite signs, then the actual root lies between
x1 and a.
Replacing b by x1 and keeping a as it is we get the next approx. x2 to the
actual root.
Continuing this manner we get the real root.

Note:
The convergence of the root in this method is slower than Newtons

Gauss elimination method


Basically the most effective direct solution techniques, currently being used
are applications of Gauss elimination, method which Gauss proposed over a
century ago. In this method, the given system is transformed into an equivalent
system with upper-triangular coefficient matrix i.e., a matrix in which all elements
below the diagonal elements are zero which can be solved by back substitution.

Note
This method fails if the element in the top of the first column is zero.
Therefore in this case we can interchange the rows so as to get the pivot
element in the top of the first column.
If we are not interested in the elimination of x, y, z in a particular order, then
we can choose at each stage the numerically largest coefficient of the entire
coefficient matrix. This requires an interchange of equations and also an
interchange of the position of the variables.

Problems based on Gauss Elimination Method

Gauss Jordan Method


This method is a modified from Gaussian elimination method. In this
method, the coefficient matrix is reduced to a diagonal matrix (or even a unit
matrix) rather than a triangular matrix as in the Gaussian method. Here the
elimination of the unknowns is done not only in the equations below, but also in
the equations above the leading diagonal. Here we get the solution without using
the back substitution method since after completion of the Gauss Jordan method
the equations become

Note:
This method involves more computation than in the Gaussian method.
In this method we can find the values of x1 , x2 ,..., xn immediately without
using back substitution.
Iteration method is self-correcting method, since the error made in any
computation is corrected in the subsequent iterations.

for x1 and x3 x4 ..... xn 0 in (2) we get the value for x 2 and let it be x 2* . Putting
x1* for x1 and x 2* for x 2 and x3 x4 ..... xn 0 in (3) we get the value for x 3 and let
it be x 3* . In this way we can find the first approximate values for x1 , x2 ,..., xn .
Similarly we can find the better approximate value of x1 , x2 ,..., xn by using the

Note:
This method is very useful with less work for the given systems of equation whose
augmented matrix have a large number of zero elements.
We say a matrix is diagonally dominant if the numerical value of the leading
diagonal element in each row is greater than or equal to the sum of the numerical
values of the other elements in that row.
For the Gauss Seidal method to coverage quickly, the coefficient matrix must be
diagonally dominant. If it is not so, we have to rearrange the equations in such a
way that the coefficient matrix is diagonally dominant and then only we can apply
Gauss Seidal method.

Eigen values and Eigenvectors


Let A be any square matrix of order n. then for any scalar , we can form a
matrix A I where I is the nth order unit matrix. The determinant of this matrix
equated to zero is called the characteristic equation of A. i.e., the characteristic
equation of the matrix A is A 1 0 . Clearly this a polynomial of degree n in
having n roots for , say 1 , 2 ,..., n . These values are called eigenvalues of the
given matrix A.

For each of these eigenvalues, the system of equations A


x1
x2
. This solution X
...
xn

trivial solution for the vector X

I X

0 has a non-

x1
x2
is called a latent
...
xn

vector or eigen vector corresponding to the eigenvalue .


If A is of order n, then its characteristic equation is of n th degree. If n is large, it is
very difficult to find the exact roots of the characteristic equation and hence the
eigenvalues are difficult to find. But there are numerical methods available for
such cases. We list below two such methods called
Power method
Jacobis method
The second method can be applied only for symmetric matrices.
Power method
This method can be applied to find numerically the greatest eigenvalue of a square
matrix (also called the dominant eigenvalue). The method is explained below.
Let 1 , 2 ,..., n be the eigenvalues of A and let 1 be the dominant eigenvalue.
i.e., 1
2
3 .......
n
if the corresponding eigenvectors are x0 , x1 , x2 ,.... xn , then any arbitrary vector y can
be written as y a0 x0 a1 x1 ... an xn , since the eigenvectors are linearly
independent. Now

DIVIDED DIFFERENCES
Problems based on Newtons Divided Difference Formula
2.2.1 Let the function y f x take the values f x0 , f x1 , f x2 ,... f xn corresponding to
the values x0 , x1, x2 ,... xn for the argument x where x1 x0 , x2 x1 ,..., xn xn 1 need not be
necessarily equal.
The first divided of f x for the argument x0 , x1 is defined as
f x1
f x0
x1 x0
f x2
f x1
Similarly f x1 , x2
x2 x1
f x3
f x2
f x2 , x3
and so on.
x3 x2

...(i)

f x0 , x1

Thus, for defining a first divided difference, we need the functional values
corresponding to two arguments.
The second divided difference of f(x) for three arguments
x0, x1, x2 is defined as
f x1 , x2
x2

f x0 , x1
x0
f x2 , x3
Similarly f x1 , x2 , x3
x3

... (ii)
f x1 , x2
x1

The third divided difference of f(x) for the four arguments


x0, x1, x2,x3 is defined as
f x0 , x1 , x2 , x3

f x1 , x2 , x3
x3

f x0 , x1 , x2
x0

... (iii)

f(x) = 48 + 52(x-4) + 15(x-4)(x-5) +(x-4)(x-5)(x-7)
when x=8,
f(8) = 48 + 208 +180 +12 =448
Therefore f(8) =448
when x=15,
f(15) = 48 + 572 +1650 +880 =3150
Therefore f(15) =3150

Interpolating with a Cubic Spline
Definition: Cubic Spline
A cubic polynomial approximating the curve in every subinterval is called is called
satisfying the following properties.
1. F(xi)=fi for i = 0, 1, 2, , n.
2. On each interval [xi-1, xi], 1 i n, F(x) is a third degree polynomial.
3. F(x), F(x) and F(x) are continuous on the interval [x0, xn].
The second derivatives at the end points of the given range are denoted as M0 and Mn
respectively.
Natural cubic spline
A cubic spline F(x) with end conditions M0=0 and Mn=0 where f(xi)=Mi in the interval
[x0, xn]
i.e., f(x0) = 0 and f(xn) = 0 is called a natural cubic spline.
Fitting a natural cubic spline for the given data:
In case of natural cubic spline the derivatives f(x0) = 0 and f(xn) = 0. i.e., M0=0 and
Mn=0
Suppose that the values of x are equally spaced with a spacing h.
The cubic spline approximation in the subinterval (xi-1, xi) is given by
( x xi 1 )3

Introduction:
If a function y=f(x) is not known explicitly the value of y can obtained when a set of
values of (xi, yi) i = 1, 2, 3, .n are known by using the methods based on the principles of finite
differences, provided the function y=f(x) is continuous. Here the values of x being equally
spaced, i.e., xn = x0 +nh, n = 0, 1, 2, ., n

If y0, y1, y2,, yn denote the set of values of y, then the first forward differences of y =
f(x) are defined by
y0 = y1-y0; y1=y2-y1; .; yn-1=yn-yn-1
where is called the forward difference operator.

Find f(0.25),f(0.6) and f(0.95).


Solution:
Here h=0.2
0.25 is nearer to the starting of the given table. So we use Newtons forward
interpolation formula to evaluate f(0.25)
0.95 is nearer to the ending of the given table. So we use Newtons backward
interpolation formula to evaluate f(0.95)
0.6 is middle point of the given table. So we use Central Difference formula to

We use Simpsons three eight rule only when the no.of intervals divisible by 3
Here the no of intervals =10 which is not divisible by 3.
So we cannot use this method.
By actual integration,

Hence, Simpsons one third rule is more accurate than the Trapezoidal rule.

Introduction
An ordinary differential equation of order n is a relation of the form
dry
F x, y, y ' , y" ,..., y n
0 where y y x and y r
. The solution of this differential
dx r
equation involves n constants and these constants are determined with the help of n conditions
y, y ' , y" ,..., y n 1 are prescribed at x x0 , by
y x0

y0' ,... y

y0 , y ' x0

n 1

x0

y0n

These conditions are called the initial conditions because they depend only on x 0 .
The differential equation together with the initial conditions is called an initial value problem.

Multi-Step Methods (Predictor-Corrector Methods)
Introduction
Predictor-corrector methods are methods which require function values at
xn , xn 1 , xn 2 , xn 3 for the computation of the function value at x n 1 . A predictor is used to find the
value of y at x n 1 and then the corrector formula is used to improve the value of y n 1 .
The following two methods are discussed in this chapter
(1) Milnes Method (2) Adams Method
Milnes Predictor-corrector method
