  • The purpose of this paper is to provide some corrections regarding algebraic flaws encountered in the paper entitled "Sixteenth-order method for nonlinear equations" which was published in January of 2010 by Li et al.[9]. Further detailed comments on their error equation are stated together with convergence analysis as well as high-precision numerical experiments.

  • The k-fold pseudo-Newton's method is proposed and its convergence behavior is investigated near a simple zero. The order of convergence is proven to be at least k + 2. The asymptotic error constant is explicitly given in terms of k and the corresponding simple zero. High-precison numerical results are successfully implemented via Mathematica and illustrated for various examples.

  • We show that if r $\leq$ 2, the average error of the Trapezoidal rule is proportional to $n^{-min{r+l, 3}}$ where n is the number of mesh points on the interval [D, 1]. As a result, we show that the Trapezoidal rule with equally spaced points is optimal in the average case setting when r $\leq$ 2.

A NOTE ON THE PAPER TITLED SOME VARIANTS OF OSTROWSKI'S METHOD WITH SEVENTH-ORDER CONVERGENCE

  • Kou et al. presented a class of new variants of Ostrowski's method in their paper (J. of Comput. Appl. Math., 209(2007), pp.153-159) whose title is "Some variants of Ostrowski's method with seventh-order convergence". They proposed an incorrect error equation, although they showed a correct seventh-order of convergence. The main objective of this note is to establish the correct error equation of the method and confirm its validity via concrete numerical examples.

Error analysis related to a learner's geometrical concept image in mathematical problem solving (학생이 지닌 기하적 심상과 문제해결과정에서의 오류)

  • Among different geometrical representations of a mathematical concept, learners are likely to form their geometrical concept image of the given concept based on a specific one. A learner's image is not always in accord with the definition of a concept. This can induce his or her errors in mathematical problem solving. We need to analyse types of such errors and the cause of the errors. In this study, we analyse learners' geometrical concept images for geometrical concepts and errors related to such images. Furthermore we propose a theoretical framework for error analysis related to a learner's concept image for a general mathematical concept in mathematical problem solving.
