An improved line search filter algorithm for the system of nonlinear equations is presented. We divide the equations into two groups, one contains the equations that are treated as equality constraints and the square of other equations is regarded as objective function. Two groups of equations are updated at every iteration in the works by Nie (2004, 2006, and 2006), by Nie et al. (2008), and by Gu (2011), while we just update them at the iterations when it is needed indeed. As a consequence, the scale of the calculation is decreased in a certain degree. Under some suitable conditions the global convergence can be induced. In the end, numerical experiments show that the method in this paper is effective.

AbstractThe first part of this paper starts with a brief discussion of some methods for solution of nonlinear equations which have interested the first author over the last twenty years or so. In the second part we discuss a recent research involvement, the success of which relies heavily on the numerical solution of nonlinear equation systems. We briefly describe path-following methods and then present an application to a simple steady-state reaction-diffusion equation arising in combustion theory. Results for some regular geometric shapes are shown and compared with those from an approximate method.

In this article, a new nonmonotone line search technique is proposed for solving a system of nonlinear equations. We attempt to answer this question how to control the degree of the nonmonotonicity of line search rules in order to reach a more efficient algorithm? Therefore, we present a novel algorithm that can avoid the increase of unsuccessful iterations. For this purpose, we show the robust behavior of the proposed algorithm by solving a few numerical examples. Under some suitable assumptions, the global convergence of our strategy is proved.

Nowadays the root finding problem for nonlinear system equations is still one of the difficult problems in computational sciences. Many attempts using deterministic and meta-heuristic methods have been done with their advantages and disadvantages, but many of them have fail to converge to all possible roots. In this paper, a novel method of locating and finding all of the real roots from the system of nonlinear equations is proposed mainly using the spiral dynamics inspired optimization by Tamura and Yasuda [1]. The method is improved by the usage of the Sobol sequence of points for generating initial candidates of roots which are uniformly distributed than of pseudo-random generated points. Using clustering technique, the method localizes all potential roots so the optimization is conducted in those points simultaneously. A set of problems as the benchmarks from the literature is given. Having only a single run for each problem, the proposed method has successfully found all possible roots within a bounded domain.

This paper presents a new algorithm to solve the system of nonlinear equations that describes the static equilibrium of trusses with material and geometric nonlinearities, adapting a three-step method with fourth-order convergence found in the literature. The co-rotational formulation of the Finite Element Method is used in the discretization of structures. The nonlinear behavior of the material is characterized by an elastoplastic constitutive model. The equilibrium paths with limit points of load and displacement are obtained using the linearized Arc-Length path-following technique. The numerical results obtained with the free program Scilab show that the new algorithm converges faster than standard procedures and modified Newton-Raphson, since the approximate solution of the problem is obtained with a smaller number of accumulated iterations and less CPU time. The equilibrium paths show that the structures exhibit a completely different behavior when the material nonlinearity is considered in the analysis with large displacements.
