Abstract

In this paper the numerical stability of a recent method to solve systems of nonlinear equations is studied. This method, based on the ε-algorithm, has a quadratic convergence without calculating any derivatives and under quite benevolent conditions. The numerical stability of this algorithm is studied using the theory of theA-stability for the propagation of round-off errors in the numerical integration of differential equations.

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Artikel wird die numerische Stabilität einer neuen Methode zur Lösung von Systemen nicht-linearer Gleichungen studiert. Diese Methode, sie basiert auf dem ε-Algorithmus, ist unter schwachen Voraussetzungen und ohne Verwendung von Ableitungen quadratisch konvergent. Die Stabilität dieses Algorithmus wird unter Verwendung der Theorie derA-Stabilität bezüglich der Fortpflanzung von Rundungsfehlern bei der numerischen Integration von Differentiagleichungen studiert.
