Secant/Muller Inverse Solver
This page is an interactive inverse-solver where you enter \(x, y\) samples, set a target \(y_\text{target}\), and compute the next \(x\) using the Secant Method or Muller’s Method.
- Secant uses the last two rows to compute the next \(x\). Muller uses the last three rows to compute the next \(x\).
- Trigger fields: Method, Step Size, and \(y\) in row \(n\)
- Trigger action: compute \(x\) for row \(n + 1\)
- Load Example Rows: \(y = \arctan(x)\), \(y_{target} = 0\), \(x_0 = 1.6\), \(x_1 = 1.5\), and subsequent \(x\) values are computed using the Secant and Muller methods. The last row is a good approximation of the true root \(x = 0\).
