Design, Analysis, and Applications of Iterative Methods for Solving Nonlinear Systems

In this chapter, we present an overview of some multipoint iterative methods for solving nonlinear systems obtained by using different techniques such as composition of known methods, weight function procedure, and pseudo-composition, etc. The dynamical study of these iterative schemes provides us valuable information about their stability and reliability. A numerical test on a specific problem coming from chemistry is performed to compare the described methods with classical ones and to confirm the theoretical results

Stability analysis of a family of optimal fourth-order methods for multiple roots

[EN] Complex dynamics tools applied on the rational functions resulting from a parametric family of roots solvers for nonlinear equations provide very useful results that have been stated in the last years. These qualitative properties allow the user to select the most efficient members from the family of iterative schemes, in terms of stability and wideness of the sets of convergent initial guesses. These tools have been widely used in the case of iterative procedures for finding simple roots and only recently are being applied on the case of multiplicity m >1. In this paper, by using weight function procedure, we design a general class of iterative methods for calculating multiple roots that includes some known methods. In this class, conditions on the weight function are not very restrictive, so a large number of different subfamilies can be generated, all of them are optimal with fourth-order of convergence. Their dynamical analysis gives us enough information to select those with better properties and test them on different numerical experiments, showing their numerical properties.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad MTM2014-52016-C2-2-P, Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089 and Schlumberger Foundation-Faculty for Future Program.Zafar, F.; Cordero Barbero, A.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.

Stability anomalies of some jacobian-free iterative methods of high order of convergence

[EN] In this manuscript, we design two classes of parametric iterative schemes to solve nonlinear problems that do not need to evaluate Jacobian matrices and need to solve three linear systems per iteration with the same divided difference operator as the coefficient matrix. The stability performance of the classes is analyzed on a quadratic polynomial system, and it is shown that for many values of the parameter, only convergence to the roots of the problem exists. Finally, we check the performance of these methods on some test problems to confirm the theoretical results.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad under grants PGC2018-095896-B-C22, Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089 and FONDOCYT 027-2018 and 029-2018, Dominican Republic.Cordero Barbero, A.; García-Maimo, J.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.; Vassileva, MP.

Multiplicity anomalies of an optimal fourth-order class of iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations

[EN] There is a few number of optimal fourth-order iterative methods for obtaining the multiple roots of nonlinear equations. But, in most of the earlier studies, scholars gave the flexibility in their proposed schemes only at the second step (not at the first step) in order to explore new schemes. Unlike what happens in existing methods, the main aim of this manuscript is to construct a new fourth-order optimal scheme which will give the flexibility to the researchers at both steps as well as faster convergence, smaller residual errors and asymptotic error constants. The construction of the proposed scheme is based on the mid-point formula and weight function approach. From the computational point of view, the stability of the resulting class of iterative methods is studied by means of the conjugacy maps and the analysis of strange fixed points. Their basins of attractions and parameter planes are also given to show their dynamical behavior around the multiple roots. Finally, we consider a real-life problem and a concrete variety of standard test functions for numerical experiments and relevant results are extensively treated to confirm the theoretical development.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad MTM2014-52016-C2-2-P and Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089.Behl, R.; Cordero Barbero, A.; Motsa, SS.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.

A dynamical comparison between iterative methods with memory: Are the derivatives good for the memory?

[EN] The role of the derivatives at the iterative expression of methods with memory for solving nonlinear equations is analyzed in this manuscript. To get this aim, a known class of methods without memory is transformed into different families involving or not derivatives with an only accelerating parameter, then they are defined as discrete dynamical systems and the stability of the fixed points of their rational operators on quadratic polynomials are studied by means of real multidimensional dynamical tools, showing in all cases similar results. Finally, a different approach holding the derivatives, and by using different accelerating parameters, in the iterative methods involved present the most stable results, showing that the role of the appropriated accelerating factors is the most relevant fact in the design of this kind of iterative methods.

CMMSE2017: On two classes of fourth- and seventh-order vectorial methods with stable behavior

[EN] A family of fourth-order iterative methods without memory, for solving nonlinear systems, and its seventh-order extension, are analyzed. By using complex dynamics tools, their stability and reliability are studied by means of the properties of the rational function obtained when they are applied on quadratic polynomials. The stability of their fixed points, in terms of the value of the parameter, its critical points and their associated parameter planes, etc. give us important information about which members of the family have good properties of stability and whether in any of them appear chaos in the iterative process. The conclusions obtained in this dynamical analysis are used in the numerical section, where an academical problem and also the chemical problem of predicting the diffusion and reaction in a porous catalyst pellet are solved.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad MTM2014-52016-C02-2-P and Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089.Cordero Barbero, A.; Guasp, L.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.

King-Type Derivative-Free Iterative Families: Real and Memory Dynamics

[EN] A biparametric family of derivative-free optimal iterative methods of order four, for solving nonlinear equations, is presented. From the error equation of this class, different families of iterative schemes with memory can be designed increasing the order of convergence up to six. The real stability analysis of the biparametric family without memory is made on quadratic polynomials, finding areas in the parametric plane with good performance.Moreover, in order to study the real behavior of the parametric class with memory, we associate it with a discrete multidimensional dynamical system. By analyzing the fixed and critical points of its vectorial rational function, we can select those methods with best stability properties.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad under Grants MTM2014-52016-C2-2-P, Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089, and FONDOCYT 2014-1C1-088 Republica Dominicana.Chicharro López, FI.; Cordero Barbero, A.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.; Vassileva, M.

Periodic and quasi-periodic attractors for the spin-orbit evolution of Mercury with a realistic tidal torque

Mercury is entrapped in a 3:2 resonance: it rotates on its axis three times for every two revolutions it makes around the Sun. It is generally accepted that this is due to the large value of the eccentricity of its orbit. However, the mathematical model originally introduced to study its spin-orbit evolution proved not to be entirely convincing, because of the expression commonly used for the tidal torque. Only recently, in a series of papers mainly by Efroimsky and Makarov, a different model for the tidal torque has been proposed, which has the advantages of being more realistic, and of providing a higher probability of capture in the 3:2 resonance with respect to the previous models. On the other hand, a drawback of the model is that the function describing the tidal torque is not smooth and consists of a superposition of kinks, so that both analytical and numerical computations turn out to be rather delicate: indeed, standard perturbation theory based on power series expansion cannot be applied and the implementation of a fast algorithm to integrate the equations of motion numerically requires a high degree of care. In this paper, we make a detailed study of the spin-orbit dynamics of Mercury, as predicted by the realistic model: In particular, we present numerical and analytical results about the nature of the librations of Mercury's spin in the 3:2 resonance. The results provide evidence that the librations are quasi-periodic in time.Comment: 32 pages, 8 figures, 5 table
