LaTeX experiment

Posted by jbshep on May 5, 2011

I read that WordPress supports LaTeX, so let’s try this out. Here is the 1-D interval Newton’s method.

X_{n+1} = \left[ m(X_n) - \dfrac{f(m(X_n))}{f^{\prime}(X_n)} \right] \cap X_n

where X_n, X_{n+1} \in \mathbb{IR} and m(X_n) = ( \underline{X_n} + \overline{X_{n+1}})/2

Cool!  Now let’s try the Jacobian matrix:

J_f =    \begin{bmatrix}    \frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_1} &\frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_2} &\hdots &\frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_n} \\    \frac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_1} &\frac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_2} &\hdots &\hdots \\    \vdots &\vdots &\ddots &\hdots \\    \frac{\partial f_n}{\partial x_1} &\hdots &\hdots &\frac{\partial f_n}{\partial x_n}    \end{bmatrix}

Wow.  This is nice!
