==Max iterations== |
|||
In the ATS and RATFOR samples and most of the others derived from them, the loop in the steffensen_aitken method appears to run from 1 to maxiter - 1<br> |
|||
E.g., in the ATS sample: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
... |
|||
var iter : int = 1 (* iteration counter *) |
|||
in |
|||
while (abs (p - p0) > tol andalso iter < maxiter) |
|||
begin |
|||
p0 := p; |
|||
p := aitken (f, p0); |
|||
iter := iter + 1 |
|||
end; |
|||
... |
|||
</pre> |
|||
I was just wondering if that should be <code>iter <= maciter</code> (or <code>var iter : int = 0</code>) in the while loop?<br> |
|||
Or am I missing something? |
|||
The results appear unaffected either way (to 6 decimal places) |
