The double-point downhill secant method (the DPDS method) is proposed to solve the nonlinear equations to determine the curvature interference limit points for modified hourglass worm drives. Thereupon, the whole curvature interference limit line can be obtained by interpolation. Based on this, the undercutting feature of the corrected worm gear can be investigated. The DPDS method has two main merits in principle. The first is the avoidance of the computation of the Jacobi matrix of the system of nonlinear equations. The second is that the sensitivity to the guess value can be decreased evidently owing to adopt the technique of the norm reduction. The effectiveness of the DPDS method is inspected and verified by a numerical example.

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.

A kind of modified hourglass worm drives, which is frequently called the type II worm gearing for short, has various favorable meshing features. Nevertheless, its sole shortcoming is the undercutting of the worm wheel. In the condition of adopting slight modification, this problem can be overcome due to the removal of a part of one sub-conjugate area containing the curvature interference limit line. In order to measure the effect of the avoidance of undercutting, a strategy to determine the meshing point in the most severe condition is proposed for a type II worm drive. The presented strategy can be divided into two steps. The first step is to establish a system of nonlinear equations in five variables in accordance with the theory of gearing. The second step is to solve the procured nonlinear equations by numerical iterative method to ascertain the meshing point required. A numerical example is presented to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed scheme.

The secant method is a very effective numerical procedure used for solving nonlinear equations of the form f(x)=0. In a recent work (A. Sidi, Generalization of the secant method for nonlinear equations. Appl. Math. E-Notes, 8:115–123, 2008), we presented a generalization of the secant method that uses only one evaluation of f(x) per iteration, and we provided a local convergence theory for it that concerns real roots. For each integer k, this method generates a sequence {xn} of approximations to a real root of f(x), where, for n≥k, xn+1=xn−f(xn)/pn,k′(xn), pn,k(x) being the polynomial of degree k that interpolates f(x) at xn,xn−1,…,xn−k, the order sk of this method satisfying 1<sk<2. Clearly, when k=1, this method reduces to the secant method with s1=(1+5)/2. In addition, s1<s2<s3<⋯, such that limk→∞sk=2. In this note, we study the application of this method to simple complex roots of a function f(z). We show that the local convergence theory developed for real roots can be extended almost as is to complex roots, provided suitable assumptions and justifications are made. We illustrate the theory with two numerical examples.
