Abstract

When problems in engineering and science are discretized, algebraic equations appear naturally. In a recent paper by Liu and Atluri, non-linear algebraic equations (NAEs) were transformed into a nonlinear system of ODEs, which were then integrated by a method labelled as the Fictitious Time Integration Method (FTIM). In this paper, the FTIM is enhanced, by using the concept of arepellorin the theory ofnonlinear dynamical systems, to situations where multiple-solutions exist. We label this enhanced method as MSFTIM. MSFTIM is applied and illustrated in this paper through solving boundary-layer problems, boundary-value problems, and eigenvalue problems with multiple solutions.
