( February 2020 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Muller's method is a root-finding algorithm , a numerical method for solving equations of the form f ( x ) = 0. It was first presented by David E. Muller in 1956. Muller's method is based on the secant method , which constructs at every iteration a line through two points on the graph of f . Instead, Muller's method uses three points, constructs the parabola through these three points, and takes the intersection of the x -axis with the parabola to be the next approximation.
