Modified Potra-Pták multi-step schemes with accelerated order of convergence for solving sistems of nonlinear equations

[EN] In this study, an iterative scheme of sixth order of convergence for solving systems of nonlinear equations is presented. The scheme is composed of three steps, of which the first two steps are that of third order Potra-Ptak method and last is weighted-Newton step. Furthermore, we generalize our work to derive a family of multi-step iterative methods with order of convergence 3r + 6, r = 0, 1, 2, .... The sixth order method is the special case of this multi-step scheme for r = 0. The family gives a four-step ninth order method for r = 1. As much higher order methods are not used in practice, so we study sixth and ninth order methods in detail. Numerical examples are included to confirm theoretical results and to compare the methods with some existing ones. Different numerical tests, containing academical functions and systems resulting from the discretization of boundary problems, are introduced to show the efficiency and reliability of the proposed methods.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad under grants MTM2014-52016-C2-2-P and Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089.Arora, H.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.; Cordero Barbero, A.

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.

On generalization based on Bi et al. Iterative methods with eighth-order convergence for solving nonlinear equations

The primary goal of this work is to provide a general optimal three-step class of iterative methods based on the schemes designed by Bi et al. (2009). Accordingly, it requires four functional evaluations per iteration with eighth-order convergence. Consequently, it satisfies Kung and Traub's conjecture relevant to construction optimal methods without memory. Moreover, some concrete methods of this class are shown and implemented numerically, showing their applicability and efficiency.The authors thank the anonymous referees for their valuable comments and for the suggestions to improve the readability of the paper.

Semilocal convergence of a family of iterative methods in Banach spaces

[EN] In this work, we prove a third and fourth convergence order result for a family of iterative methods for solving nonlinear systems in Banach spaces. We analyze the semilocal convergence by using recurrence relations, giving the existence and uniqueness theorem that establishes the R-order of the method and the priori error bounds. Finally, we apply the methods to two examples in order to illustrate the presented theory.This work has been supported by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovaci´on MTM2011-28636-C02-02 and by Vicerrectorado de Investigaci´on.

Modal interaction in postbuckled plates. Theory

Plates can have more than one buckled solution for a fixed set of boundary conditions. The theory for the identification and the computation of multiple solutions in buckled plates is examined. The theory predicts modal interaction (which is also called change in buckle pattern or secondary buckling) in experiments on certain plates with multiple theoretical solutions. A set of coordinate functions is defined for Galerkin's method so that the von Karman plate equations are reduced to a coupled set of cubic equations in generalized coordinates that are uncoupled in the linear terms. An iterative procedure for solving modal interaction problems is suggested based on this cubic form
