Step 1
Evaluate

f (x )
symbolically.
http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Step 2
Use an initial guess of the root, xi , to estimate the new
value of the root, xi 1 , as
f xi 
xi 1 = xi f xi 

http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Step 3
Find the absolute relative approximate error a as
xi 1- xi
a =
 10 0
xi 1
8
http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Step 4
Compare the absolute relative approximate error
with the pre-specified relative error tolerance s.
Yes
Go to Step 2 using new
estimate of the root.
No
Stop the algorithm
Is a s ?
Also, check if the number of iterations has exceeded
the maximum number of iterations allowed. If so,
one needs to terminate the algorithm and notify the
user.

Example 1
You have a spherical storage tank containing oil. The tank has a
diameter of 6 ft. You are asked to calculate the height, h, to which a
dipstick 8 ft long would be wet with oil when immersed in the tank
when it contains 4 ft3 of oil.

http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Example 1 Cont.
The equation that gives the height, h, of liquid in the spherical tank
for the given volume and radius is given by
f(h)  h3  9h2  3.8197 0
Use the Newton-Raphson method of finding roots of equations to
find the height, h, to which the dipstick is wet with oil. Conduct
three iterations to estimate the root of the above equation. Find the
absolute approximate error at the end of each iteration and the
number of significant digits at least correct at the end of each
iteration.

Advantages and Drawbacks
of Newton Raphson Method

Advantages

17
Converges fast (quadratic convergence), if
it converges.
Requires only one guess
http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Drawbacks
1.
Divergence at inflection points
Selection of the initial guess or an iteration value of the root that
is close to the inflection point of the function f x  may start
diverging away from the root in ther Newton-Raphson method.
For example, to find the root of the equation f x  x 1  0.512  0 .
3
The Newton-Raphson method reduces to xi 1  xi 
x
3
i

3
 1  0.512
.
2
3 xi  1
Table 1 shows the iterated values of the root of the equation.
The root starts to diverge at Iteration 6 because the previous estimate
of 0.92589 is close to the inflection point of x  1 .
Eventually after 12 more iterations the root converges to the exact
value of x  0.2.

Drawbacks – Division by Zero
2. Division by zero
For the equation
f x  x3  0.03x 2  2.4 106  0
the Newton-Raphson method
reduces to
xi3  0.03xi2  2.4 106
xi 1  xi 
3xi2  0.06xi
For x0  0 or x0  0.02 , the
denominator will equal zero.

or near a zero number
http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Drawbacks – Oscillations near local
maximum and minimum
3. Oscillations near local maximum and minimum
Results obtained from the Newton-Raphson method may
oscillate about the local maximum or minimum without
converging on a root but converging on the local maximum or
minimum.
Eventually, it may lead to division by a number close to zero
and may diverge.
2
For example for f x  x  2  0 the equation has no real
roots.

Drawbacks – Root Jumping
4. Root Jumping
In some cases where the function f x is oscillating and has a number
of roots, one may choose an initial guess close to a root. However, the
guesses may jump and converge to some other root.
