Abstract In this paper, a scalar homotopy method with optimal hybrid search directions for solving nonlinear algebraic equations is proposed. To conduct the proposed method, we first convert the vector residual function to a scalar function by taking the square norm of the vector function and then, introduce a fictitious time variable to form a scalar homotopy function. To improve the convergence and the accuracy of the proposed method, a vector with multiple search directions and an iterative algorithm are introduced into the evolution dynamics of the solutions. Further, for obtaining the optimal search direction, linear and nonlinear optimization algorithms are… More >
