python语句执行方式,如何在Python中执行Bisection方法

I want to make a Python program that will run a bisection method to determine the root of:

f(x) = -26 + 85x - 91x2 +44x3 -8x4 + x5

The Bisection method is a numerical method for estimating the roots of a polynomial f(x).

Are there any available pseudocode, algorithms or libraries I could use to tell me the answer?

解决方案

Here's some code showing the basic technique:

>>> def samesign(a, b):

return a * b > 0

>>> def bisect(func, low, high):

'Find root of continuous function where f(low) and f(high) have opposite signs'

assert not samesign(func(low), func(high))

for i in range(54):

midpoint = (low + high) / 2.0

if samesign(func(low), func(midpoint)):

low = midpoint

else:

high = midpoint

return midpoint

>>> def f(x):

return -26 + 85*x - 91*x**2 +44*x**3 -8*x**4 + x**5

>>> x = bisect(f, 0, 1)

>>> print x, f(x)
