The phenomena of infiltration and the percolation of water in the soil are of fundamental importance for the evaluation of runoff, groundwater recharge, evapotranspiration, soil erosion and transport of chemical substances in surface and groundwater. Within this context, the quantitative determination of the infiltration values is extremely important for the different areas of knowledge, in order to evaluate, mainly the surface runoff. Several types of changes in vegetation cover and topography result in significant changes in the infiltration process, making it necessary to use mathematical models to assess the consequences of these changes. Thus, this article aims to implement the Green-Ampt model using two numerical methods - Newton-Raphson method and W-Lambert function - to determine soil permeability parameters - K and matric potential multiplied by the difference between initial and of saturation - comparing them to the real data obtained in simulations using an automatic rainfall simulator from the Federal University of Goiás - UFG. The Green-Ampt model adjusted well to the data measured from the rain simulator, with a determination coefficient of 0.978 for the Newton-Raphson method and 0.984 for the W-Lambert function.

The force constants of the internal coordinates of nonlinear XY2 molecules in the gas-phase were calculated by using the GF matrix method. The matrix solution was carried out by means a computer program built relative to the Newton-Raphson method and the calculations were listed in a table. The force constants of some molecules in the liquidand solid- phase were also found and compared with these ones, and it was seen that the force constants for more condensed phase are lower as in an agreement with having its lower frequency.

Estimation of reflector depth and seismic velocity from seismic reflection data can be formulated as a general inverse problem. The method used to solve this problem is similar to tomographic techniques in medical diagnosis and we refer to it as seismic reflection tomography. Seismic tomography is formulated as an iterative Gauss‐Newton algorithm that produces a velocity‐depth model which minimizes the difference between traveltimes generated by tracing rays through the model and traveltimes measured from the data. The input to the process consists of traveltimes measured from selected events on unstacked seismic data and a first‐guess velocity‐depth model. Usually this first‐guess model has velocities which are laterally constant and is usually based on nearby well information and/or an analysis of the stacked section. The final model generated by the tomographic method yields traveltimes from ray tracing which differ from the measured values in recorded data by approximately 5 ms root‐mean‐square. The indeterminancy of the inversion and the associated nonuniqueness of the output model are both analyzed theoretically and tested numerically. It is found that certain aspects of the velocity field are poorly determined or undetermined. This technique is applied to an example using real data where the presence of permafrost causes a near‐surface lateral change in velocity. The permafrost is successfully imaged in the model output from tomography. In addition, depth estimates at the intersection of two lines differ by a significantly smaller amount than the corresponding estimates derived from conventional processing.

This paper presents a direct method for determining the geometry factor J for slotted external spur gears. The location of maximum stressed point on the tooth profile where the stress parabola is tangent to the fillet curve has been determined by solving the resulting nonlinear equations using the sophisticated Newton-Raphson method. The semi-graphical procedure given in AGMA Standard [1] is not convenient for determining the geometry factory J of large gears used in grinding mill and kiln drives in the mining industry. Listing of the computer program and input-output point out for a typical application are presented.

In this paper, we work with ten nonlinear equations to compare a new method in nonlinear equation solving, Improved Newton-Raphson based on Adomian Decomposition method (INR-ADM) that consisting of two types called INR-ADM 1 and INR-ADM 2. The difference between INR-ADM 1 and INR-ADM 2 is on the iteration formula form. From our results, it was showed that INR-ADM 1 and INR-ADM 2 are not always better than classic Newton-Raphson method in term of the iteration number. However, if INR-ADM 1 and INR-ADM 2 are compared to Regula False method and Secant method, they are always better i.e. they had fewer number of iteration. The INR-ADM 1 and INR-ADM 2 had shorter computational time than Regula False method. Furthermore, the computational time of INR-ADM 1 and INR-ADM 2 cannot be claimed that they had shorter or longer if they are compared to Newton-Raphson method and Secant method.

This paper compares the performance of the gradient and Newton-Raphson (N-R) method to estimate parameters in some zero-inflated (ZI) regression models such as the zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) model, zero-inflated Bell (ZIBell) model, zero-inflated binomial (ZIB) model and zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) model. In the present work, firstly, we briefly present the approach of the gradient and N-R method. We then introduce the origin, formulas and applications of the ZI models. Finally, we compare the performance of two investigated approaches for these models through the simulation studies with numerous sample sizes and several missing rates. A real data set is investigated in this study. Specifically, we compare the results and the execution time of the R code for two methods. Moreover, we provide some important notes on these two approaches and some scalable research directions for future work.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.

At the experimental base of Tianjin Agricultural University, the infiltration process of water was measured by double - ring infiltration instrument at six points. Horton,Philip and Kostiakov-lewis (K-l) infiltration models were fitted with the infiltration data measured and the parameters were correspondingly obtained. Six sets of parameters of the corresponding infiltration model were obtained, and six sets of parameters were used for statistical analysis. The reasonable number of points of the corresponding model was obtained. Then, the statistical analysis of the cumulative infiltration amount was used to obtain the variation of the number of reasonable points in the three models with time. The results show that the imitative effect of accumulative infiltration water and time in K-l model is the best, and the curve of reasonable test points determined by K-l model with time is located under the other two models; The reasonable number of points determined by the parameter K in the K-l model is the least and most reasonable. In view of this, the number of reasonable points was determined by using the parameter K in the K-l model.
