The Secant Method for Root Finding, Viewed as a Dynamical System

Abstract

The secant method is a procedure for approximating the zeros of a function. We will explore the behavior of this procedure in the case of univariate rational functions for arbitrary starting points, whether or not there is convergence to a zero.
