A condition expressed in Eq. (7) is given which, with one simplifying regularity condition, ensures that the policy-improvement algorithm is equivalent to application of the Newton–Raphson algorithm to an optimality condition. It is shown that this condition covers the two known cases of such equivalence, and another example is noted. The condition is believed to be necessary to within transformations of the problem, but this has not been proved.

This paper considers parameter estimation of superimposed exponential signals in multiplicative and additive noise which are all independent and identically distributed. A modified Newton-Raphson algorithm is used to estimate the frequencies of the considered model, which is further used to estimate other linear parameters. It is proved that the modified Newton- Raphson algorithm is robust and the corresponding estimators of frequencies attain the same convergence rate with Least Squares Estimators (LSEs) under the same noise conditions, but it outperforms LSEs in terms of the mean squared errors. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by some numerical experiments.

Finding the roots of an equation is a fundamental problem in various fields, including numerical computing, social and physical sciences. Numerical techniques are used when an analytic solution is not available. There is not a single algorithm that works best for every function. We designed and implemented a new algorithm that is a dynamic blend of the bisection and regula falsi algorithms. The implementation results validate that the new algorithm outperforms both bisection and regula falsi algorithms. It is also observed that the new algorithm outperforms the secant algorithm and the Newton–Raphson algorithm because the new algorithm requires fewer computational iterations and is guaranteed to find a root. The theoretical and empirical evidence shows that the average computational complexity of the new algorithm is considerably less than that of the classical algorithms.

We consider a renewal reward process in continuous time. The supremum average reward, γ* for this process can be characterised as the unique root of a certain function. We show how one can apply the Newton–Raphson algorithm to obtain successive approximations to γ*, and show that the successive approximations so obtained are the same as those obtained by using the policy improvement technique.
