. Details are provided in Appendix 2.
The Newton-Raphson (or just Newton’s) method is used for finding the (local) maxima of Equation 4 [20]. Newton’s method is a well-know algorithm for finding the local maxima or local minima of functions. We are seeking for for all xclose to. Newton’s method requires the computation of the gradient vector and Hessian matrix:
The Taylor expansion of:
for all x
