Numerical Solution of Systems of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations

Numerical Solution of Systems of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations contains invited lectures of the NSF-CBMS Regional Conference on the Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Algebraic Systems with Applications to Problems in Physics, Engineering and Economics, held on July 10-14, 1972. This book is composed of 10 chapters and begins with the concepts of nonlinear algebraic equations in continuum mechanics. The succeeding chapters deal with the numerical solution of quasilinear elliptic equations, the nonlinear systems in semi-infinite programming, and the solution of large systems of linear algebraic equations. These topics are followed by a survey of some computational techniques for the nonlinear least squares problem. The remaining chapters explore the problem of nonlinear functional minimization, the modification methods, and the computer-oriented algorithms for solving system. These chapters also examine the principles of contractor theory of solving equations. This book will prove useful to undergraduate and graduate students.
