Abstract

In this paper the well-known modified (underrelaxed, damped) Newton method is extended in such a way as to apply to the solution of ill-conditioned systems of nonlinear equations, i.e. systems having a “nearly singular” Jacobian at some iterate. A special technique also derived herein may be useful, if only bad initial guesses of the solution point are available. Difficulties that arose previously in the numerical solution of nonlinear two-point boundary value problems by multiple shooting techniques can be removed by means of the results presented below.
