Abstract To solve an ill- (or well-) conditioned system of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations (NAEs): F(x) = 0, we define a scalar hyper-surface h(x,t) = 0 in terms of x, and a monotonically increasing scalar function Q(t) where t is a time-like variable. We define a vector R which is related to ∂h / ∂x, and a vector P which is normal to R. We define an Optimal Descent Vector (ODV): u = αR + βP where α and β are optimized for fastest convergence. Using this ODV [x· = λu], we derive an Optimal Iterative Algorithm (OIA) to solve F(x)… More >
