Computation of common normal between a pair of wheel and rail surface is an important sub problem in railroad simulations. In this study, it is shown that there are special position and orientation of every wheelset that makes the governing equation for computation of the common normal degenerate. This condition leads to divergence of the Newton’s iterate. To develop a procedure that can successfully compute the common normal between a straight rail and a wheelset, first parametric equation for the rail and wheel surface in track coordinate system is developed. Then four nonlinear equations whose solution is location of common normal are constructed. Three of the equations are used to eliminate three unknown in fourth equation. The resulting equation has only one unknown. A hybrid procedure based on Newton method and bisection method is used to solve the roots of the last equation. The utility of this approach is demonstrated by reporting the common normal for a pair of wheel and rail surface at singular position.

Newton method is one of the most frequently used methods to find solutions to the roots of nonlinear equations. Along with the development of science, Newton's method has undergone various modifications. One of them is the hasanov method and the newton method variant (vmn), with a higher order of convergence. In this journal focuses on the three-step iteration method in which the order of convergence is higher than the three methods. To find the convergence order of the three-step iteration method requires a program that can support the analytical results of both methods. One of them using the help of the matlab program. Which will then be compared with numerical simulations also using the matlab program.  Keywords : newton method, newton method variant, Hasanov Method and order of convergence

This paper describes a household service robot with two lightweight arms and a trinocular vision sensor. According to DH convention, the coordinate system of two arms is established, and position and orientation of the hand is computed. The inverse kinematics of the arm is solved with geometric and algebraic solution methods. By the trinocular vision sensor, robot can recognize the bottle and get its 3-D space coordinate. Through experiments, both correctness of the algorithm and stability of the robot control system are validated.

The evolution, interaction and scattering of 2 N point vortices grouped into equal and opposite pairs ( N -dipoles) on a rotating unit sphere are studied. A new coordinate system made up of centres of vorticity and centroids associated with each dipole is introduced. With these coordinates, the nonlinear equations for an isolated dipole diagonalize and one directly obtains the equation for geodesic motion on the sphere for the dipole centroid. When two or more dipoles interact, the equations are viewed as an interacting billiard system on the sphere—charged billiards—with long-range interactions causing the centroid trajectories to deviate from their geodesic paths. Canonical interactions are studied both with and without rotation. For two dipoles, the four basic interactions are described as exchange-scattering , non-exchange-scattering , loop-scattering (head on) and loop-scattering (chasing) interactions. For three or more dipoles, one obtains a richer variety of interactions, although the interactions identified in the two-dipole case remain fundamental.

We discuss how implied volatilities for OTC traded Asian options can be computed by combining Monte Carlo techniques with the Newton method in order to solve nonlinear equations. The method relies on accurate and fast computation of the corresponding vegas of the option. In order to achieve this we propose the use of logarithmic derivatives instead of the classical approach. Our simulations document that the proposed method shows far better results than the classical approach. Furthermore we demonstrate how numerical results can be improved by localization.

The main purpose of this paper is to obtain the real roots of an expression using the Numerical method, bisection method, Newton's method and secant method. Root analysis is calculated using specific, precise starting points and numerical methods and is represented by Maple. In this research, we used Maple software to analyze the roots of nonlinear equations by special methods, and by showing geometric diagrams, we examined the relevant examples. In this process, the Newton-Raphson method, the algorithm for root access, is fully illustrated by Maple. Also, the secant method and the bisection method were demonstrated by Maple by solving examples and drawing graphs related to each method.
