False position method As a result, unlike the bisection method, the width of the bracket does not tend to zero (unless the zero is at an inflection point around which ). As a consequence, the linear approximation to , which is used to pick the false position, does not improve as rapidly as possible. One example of this phenomenon is the function on the initial bracket [−1,1]. The left end, −1, is never replaced (it does not change at first and after the first three iterations, is negative on the interval) and thus the width of the bracket never falls below 1. Hence,
