Solution of Algebraic and Transcendental Equations

The equation of the form
f ( x) a0 x n a1 x n 1
a2 x n 2
....... 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.
Newton’s method (or) Newton’s 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.
2. Write the given equation in the form x = φ(x) with the condition ' ( x) 1
3. Let the initial approximation be x0 which is lies in the interval (a, b)
4. Continue the process using xn = φ(xn-1)
5. 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 ' ( x) 1 , xn will become infinitely large and hence this
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
1 x2
3. x 1 x 1 3
but we take the type which has the convergence property ' ( x) 1
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
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
2 0.9 1.8
' ( x) 0.5494
(1 0.9 2 ) 2 3.2761
' ( 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.
Solution:
Let f(x)= x3+x2-1
f(0)= -ve and f(1)=+ve
Hence a real root lies between 0 and 1.
1
Now can be written as x ( x)
1 x
In this type only ' ( x) 1 in (0, 1)
Let the initial approximation be x0=0.5
1
x1 ( x0 ) 0.81649
0.5 1
1
x2 ( x1 ) 0.74196
0.81649 1

x3 ( x2 ) 0.75767
0.74196 1
1
x4 ( x3 ) 0.75427
0.75767 1
1
x5 ( x4 ) 0.75500
0.75427 1
1
x6 ( x5 ) 0.75485
0.75500 1
1
x7 ( x6 ) 0.75488
0.75485 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 π/2
The given equation can be written as
1
x (1 cos x) ( x)
3
sin x
' ( x)
3
Clearly, ' ( x) 1 in (0, π/2)
Let the initial approximation be x0=0
1
x1 ( x0 ) (1 cos 0) 0.66667

1
x2 ( x1 ) (1 cos 0.66667) 0.59529

1
x3 ( x2 ) (1 cos 0.59529) 0.60933

1
x4 ( x3 ) (1 cos 0.60933) 0.60668

1
x5 ( x4 ) (1 cos 0.60668) 0.60718

1
x6 ( x5 ) (1 cos 0.60718) 0.60709
3
1
x7 ( x6 ) (1 cos 0.60709) 0.60710
3
1
x8 ( x7 ) (1 cos 0.60710) 0.60710
3
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 α, β, γ are the roots of the equation (1), then the equation whose
roots are -α, -β, - γ 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
x ( 2 x 5) 3 ( x)
where ' ( x) 1 in (2, 3)
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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newton’s method (or) Newton’s Raphson method (Method of tangents)
Let f(x)=0 be the given equ. whose roots are to be determined.

FORMULA: x x n
n 1 n f '(x )
n
Steps for this method

i. Use the first property find ‘a’ and ‘b’ where the roots lies between.
ii. 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).
iii. Use the formula and continue the process
iv. 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.
 The order of convergence is two

1. Compute the real root of xlog10x=1.2 correct to three decimal places using
Newton’s Raphson Method
Solution:
Let f(x)= xlog10x-1.2
Now f(2)=-ve and f(3) =+ve
Hence the root lies between 2 and 3.

Hence the real root of f(x)=0, correct to three decimal places is 2.741
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2.
Evaluate 12 to four decimal places by Newton’s Raphson Method
Solution:
2
Let x= 12 x =12 x2-12 =0
Let f(x)= x2-12 and f’(x)=2x
Now f(3)=-ve and f(4) =+ve.Hence the root lies between 3 and 4. Here
f (3) f (4) the root is nearer to 3. Therefore the initial approximation is x0=3

FORMULA: x

 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 Newton’s

Solutions of linear algebraic equations
A system of m linear equations (or a set of m simultaneous linear equations)
in ‘n’ unknowns x1 , x2 ,..., xn is a set of equations of the form,

a21 x1 a22 x2 ...... a2 n xn b2
(1)
:::::::::: :::::::::: :::::::::: :::::::::: ::::
am1 x1 am 2 x2 ... amn xn bm
Where the coefficients of x1 , x2 ,..., xn and b1 , b2 ,..., bm are constants.
The left hand side members of (1) may be specified by the square array of
the coefficients, known as the coefficient matrix.

is known as the augmented matrix.
There are two methods to solve such a system by numerical methods.
 Direct methods
 Iterative or indirect methods.
Gaussian elimination method, Gauss-Jordan method, belongs to Direct

methods,
Gauss-Seidel iterative method and relaxation method belongs to iterative
methods.

that case the system has the form

This process of determining the solution of (1) is called Back substitution.
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

1. Solve 2x+y+4z=12; 8x-3y+2z=20; 4x+11y-z=33 by gauss elimination method

from the above equations we get z=1, y=2, x=3
thus the solution of the equations are x=3 ; y= 2 ; z=1

thus the solution of the equations are x=3 ; y=1 ; z=1

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
1 0 0 ... 0 x1 a1
0 1 0 ... ... x2 a2
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
0 0 0 ... 1 xn an
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.

Jacobi’s (or Gauss – Jacobi’s) iteration method
Let the system of simultaneous equations be
a1 x b1 y c1 z d1
a 2 x b2 y c 2 z d2 (1)
a3 x b3 y c3 z d3
This system of equations can also be written as

1
x
a1 d1 b1 y c1 z
1 (2)
y
b2 d 2 a2 x c2 z
1
z
c3 d 3 a3 x b3 y
Let the first approximation be x0 , y 0 and z 0 . Substituting x0 , y 0 and z 0 in (2) we get,
1
x1 d1 b1 y 0 c1 z 0
a1
1
y1 d2 a 2 x0 c2 z 0
b2
1
z1 d3 a3 x0 b3 y 0
c3
Substitution the values of x1 , y1 and z1 in (2) we get the second approximations
x 2 , y 2 and z 2 as given below
1
x2 d1 b1 y1 c1 z1
a1
1
y1 d2 a 2 x1 c 2 z1
b2
1
z1 d3 a3 x1 b3 y1
c3
Substituting the values of x2 , y 2 and z 2 in (2) we get the third approximations x3 , y 3
and z 3 .
This process may be repeated till the difference between two consecutive
approximations is negligible.

Gauss – Seidal Iterative Method
Let the given system of equations be
a11 x1 a12 x2 a13 x3 ...... a1n xn C1
a 21 x1 a 22 x2 a 23 x3 ...... a 2 n xn C2
a31 x1 a32 x2 a33 x3 ...... a3n xn C3
..............................................................
..............................................................
a n1 x1 a n 2 x2 a n 3 x3 ...... a nn xn C n
Such system is often amenable to an iterative process in which the system is first
rewritten in the form

First let us assume that x2 x3 ..... xn 0 in (1) and find x1 . Let it be x1* . Putting x1*
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
relation

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 I X 0 has a non-

x1 x1
x2 x2
trivial solution for the vector X . This solution X is called a latent
... ...
xn 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
 Jacobi’s 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
Ak y A k a0 x0 ... a n x n

But i

j
Ak 1 y
Hence, if k is large, 1 where the division is carried out in the
Ak y
corresponding components.
Here y is quite arbitrary. But generally we choose it as the vector having all its
components ones.
Note:
 If 1 , 2 ,..., n are the eigenvalues of A, then the eigenvalue 1 is dominant if
1 i for i 2,3,...,n .
x1
 The eigenvector X
x2 corresponding to the eigenvalue 1 is called the
...
xn
dominant eigenvector.
 If the eigenvalues of A are -3,1,2, then -3 is dominant.
 If the eigen values of A are -4,1,4 then A has no dominant eigenvalue since
4 4.
 The power method will work satisfactorily only if A has a dominant

eigenvalue.

x 2 5 8 14
y 94.8 87.9 81.3 68.7
Solution:
x x0=2 x1=5 x2=8 x3=14

y y0=94.8 y1=87.9 y2=81.3 y3=68.7

DIVIDED DIFFERENCES
Problems based on Newton’s 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
` f x0 , x1 ...(i)
x1 x0
f x2 f x1
Similarly f x1 , x2
x2 x1
f x3 f x2
f x2 , x3 and so on.

Thus, for defining a first divided difference, we need the functional values
corresponding to two arguments.

Using divided differences and the given data in (1),

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

Using these we get,
f(x) = -8+(x+1)11+(x+1)x(-4)+(x+1)x(x-2)2
= -8+11x+11-4x2-4x+2x3-2x2-4x

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

Newton’s Forward and Backward Difference Formulas
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
Forward Differences
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.

We use Simpson’s three eight rule only when the no.of intervals divisible by 3
Here the no of intervals =10 which is not divisible by 3.

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 ' x0 y0' ,... y n 1
x0 y0n 1
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) Milne’s Method (2) Adam’s Method
Milne’s Predictor-corrector method

We compute the initial values of u1, u2, …,u9 by using SFPF and DFPF. First we compute u5 by
SFPF.

These initial values are called rough values.

After that we use only SFPF method
Once all the values are computed their accuracy can be improved by Gauss-Seidal method.
The Gauss-Seidal formula is given by
