Questions tagged [rate-of-convergence]

For questions related to the rate of convergence (or the order of convergence). The rate of convergence of a convergent sequence are quantities that represent how quickly the sequence approaches its limit.

In numerical analysis, the rate (or order) of convergence of a convergent sequence is a quantity that represents how quickly the sequence approaches its limit. A sequence $(x_{n})$ that converges to $x^{*}$ is said to have order of convergence $q \geq 1$ and rate of convergence $\mu$ if

$\displaystyle \lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }{\frac {\left|x_{n+1}-x^{*}\right|}{\left|x_{n}-x^{*}\right|^{q}}}=\mu .$

I'm wondering if there is a short cut for calculating the time taken for 2taps to fill and another tap to empty a tank apart from the usual way. For e g. two taps take 20minutes to for fill a tank while another 30minutes to empty the tank…
