    The author provides a general iterative method which computes the maximal real root \(x_{\max}\) of a one-variable Lipschitzian function in a given interval. It is shown that the method is globally convergent provided that some real parameter or the algorithm has been chosen appropriately. [There are Lipschitz functions for which it is known that it is difficult to find their zeros. Therefore, a big portion of the difficulties is transported to the determination of an appropriate parameter].
