The numerical solution of problems of elastic stability through the use of the iteration method of Newton is examined. It is found that if the equations of equilibrium are completed by a simple auxiliary equation, problems governed by a snapping condition can, in principle, always be calculated as long as the problem at hand is properly formulated. The effectiveness of the proposed procedure is demonstrated by means of an elementary example.

The Julia sets theory of generalized Newton's method is analyzed and the Julia sets of generalized Newton's method are constructed using the iteration method. From the research we find that: (1) the basins of attraction of the Julia sets of generalized Newton's method depend on the roots of the equation and their orders and also the existence of the extraneous fixed points; (2) the Steffensen method is an exception to the law given in (1); and (3) if the order of the root is decimal, then the different choice of the range of the principal value of the phase angle will cause a different evolvement of the Julia sets.

A modification of Newton’s method is suggested that provides a practical means of continuing solutions of nonlinear differential equations through limit points or bifurcation points. The method is applicable when the linear “variational” equations for the problem are self-adjoint. The procedure is illustrated by examples from the field of elastic stability.

Approximate solutions to the catch equation for the fishing mortality rate both forward and backward in time are obtained with an application of the diagonal Padé approximation of degree four to the exponential function. In either case the resulting approximation as well as Pope's estimate are shown to serve quite well as starting values for Newton's Method which is used to obtain a numerical solution of the catch equation. Convergence criteria for Newton's Method are discussed in each setting.Key words: catch equation, Newton's method, Padé approximation, Pope's estimate

In this paper, using the implicit trapezoidal rule in conjunction with Newton's method to solve nonlinear system.We have used a Maple 17 program to solve the System of two nonlinear Volterra integral equations. Finally, several illustrative examples are presented to show the effectiveness and accuracy of this method.
