An algorithm for solving large-scale systems of nonlinear equations based on the transformation of the Newton method with the line search into a derivative-free descent method is introduced. Main idea used in the algorithm construction is to approximate the Jacobian by an appropriate diagonal matrix. Furthermore, the step length is calculated using inexact line search procedure. Under appropriate conditions, the proposed method is proved to be globally convergent under mild conditions. The numerical results presented show the efficiency of the proposed method.

Mathematical models from recent research are mostly nonlinear equations in nature. Numerical solutions to such systems are widely needed and applied in those areas of  mathematics. Although, in recent years, this field received serious attentions and new approach were discovered, but yet the efficiency of the previous versions suffers setback. This article gives a new hybrid conjugate gradient parameter, the method is derivative-free and analyzed with an effective inexact line search in a given conditions. Theoretical proofs show that the proposed method retains the sufficient descent and global convergence properties of the original CG methods. The proposed method is tested on a set of test functions, then compared to the two previous classical CG-parameter that resulted the given method, and its performance is given based on number of iterations and CPU time. The numerical results show that the new proposed method is efficient and effective amongst all the methods tested. The graphical representation of the result justify our findings. The computational result indicates that the new hybrid conjugate gradient parameter is suitable and capable for solving symmetric systems of nonlinear equations.

We present a derivative free method of fourth order convergence for solving systems of nonlinear equations. The method consists of two steps of which first step is the well-known Traub's method. First-order divided difference operator for functions of several variables and direct computation by Taylor's expansion are used to prove the local convergence order. Computational efficiency of new method in its general form is discussed and is compared with existing methods of similar nature. It is proved that for large systems the new method is more efficient. Some numerical tests are performed to compare proposed method with existing methods and to confirm the theoretical results.
