Computational Solution Of Nonlinear Systems Of Equations (Lam/26)

The aim of this work is to give a wide-ranging survey of essentially all of the methods which comprise currently active areas of research in the computational solution of systems of non-linear equations. Most of the articles are accessible to students who have had a course in numerical analysis. Conference: Systems of Equations Colorado 1988

Nonlinear equations arise in essentially every branch of modern science, engineering and mathematics. However, in only a very few special cases is it possible to obtain useful solutions to nonlinear equations via analytical calculations. As a result, many scientists resort to computational methods. This book contains the proceedings of the Joint AMS-SIAM summer seminar 'Computational Solution of Nonlinear Systems of Equations'. A number of entry-level survey papers were solicited, and a series of test problems has been collected in an appendix. Most of the articles are accessible to students who have had a course in numerical analysis.
