Bisection Method - Numeric Method

The Bisection Method is a numerical technique used to find roots of equations within a specified interval where the function changes sign. The method involves iteratively halving the interval and narrowing down the search for the root until a specified level of accuracy is achieved. The algorithm requires selecting initial points a and b such that f(a)f(b) < 0 and continues until the interval size is less than a defined acceptable error.

Fig. 1. f(x), an arbitrary function of x

If f(x) is continuous and real in the interval from a to


b and f(a).f(b) has negative sign then there is at least
one real root between a and b.

Using this simple rule, the bisection method


decreases the interval size iteration by iteration and
reaches close to the real root. The brief algorithm of
the bisection method is as follows:

Step 1: Choose a and b so that f(a).f(b)<0.


Step 2: Let c=(a+b)/2.
Step 3: If f(a).f(c)<0 then let b=c, else let a=c.
Step 4: if |a­b|<e then let root=(a+b)/2, else go to
step 2.
Step 5: End.

e: Acceptable approximated error.
