Feedback from New Page Review process

edit

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: I am highly dubious about this page. The single application paper mentioned is from 2004 and has 36 cites, which is not a lot, and the main sources are 1972 & 1976. Most current fixed point algorithms use some version of Anderson or Broyden methods (e.g. CT Kelly's work or the brief section in Nocedal & Wright), admittedly most of this is with derivatives. I am not that familiar with fixed-point (aka non-linear equations) methods without derivatives, but the lack of more recent sources raises major flags about notability.

The paper got 588 citations, which is not a small number. In any case, if you think it is not notable enough, I can move it to a subsection of fixed-point computation. --Erel Segal (talk) 20:22, 16 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
If you can update the page with some better cited and more recent secondary sources & applications I would be OK with it (+ add some "See Also"). Ldm1954 (talk) 20:44, 16 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
