Maximum number of iterations, defaults to 500. method : {"del2", "iteration"}, optional Method of finding the fixed-point, defaults to "del2", which uses Steffensen's Method with Aitken's ``Del^2`` convergence acceleration [1]_. The "iteration" method simply iterates the function until convergence is detected, without attempting to accelerate the convergence. References ---------- ..
