On the efficiency of Newton and Broyden numerical methods in the investigation of the regular polygon problem of (N + 1) bodies

Numerical methods of finding the roots of a system of non-linear algebraic equations are treated in this paper. This paper attempts to give an answer to the selection of the most efficient method in a complex problem of Celestial Dynamics, the so-called ring problem of (N + 1) bodies. We apply Newton and Broyden’s method to these problems and we investigate, by means of their use, the planar equilibrium points, the five equilibrium zones, which are symbolized by A₁, A₂, B, C₂, and C₁ (by order of appearance from the center O to the periphery of the imaginary circle on which the primaries lie) [T.J. Kalvouridis, A planar case of the N + 1 body problem: the ring problem. Astrophys. Space Sci. 260 (3) (1999) 309-325], and the attracting regions of the system. The efficiency of these methods is studied through a comparative process. The obtained results are demonstrated in figures and are discussed.     

The inexact, inexact perturbed, and quasi-Newton methods are equivalent models

A classical model of Newton iterations which takes into account some error terms is given by the quasi-Newton method, which assumes perturbed Jacobians at each step. Its high convergence orders were characterized by Dennis and Moré [Math. Comp. 28 (1974), 549-560]. The inexact Newton method constitutes another such model, since it assumes that at each step the linear systems are only approximately solved; the high convergence orders of these iterations were characterized by Dembo, Eisenstat and Steihaug [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 19 (1982), 400-408]. We have recently considered the inexact perturbed Newton method [J. Optim. Theory Appl. 108 (2001), 543-570] which assumes that at each step the linear systems are perturbed and then they are only approximately solved; we have characterized the high convergence orders of these iterates in terms of the perturbations and residuals.

In the present paper we show that these three models are in fact equivalent, in the sense that each one may be used to characterize the high convergence orders of the other two. We also study the relationship in the case of linear convergence and we deduce a new convergence result.

     

Numerical Experience with a Reduced Hessian Method for Large Scale Constrained Optimization

The reduced Hessian SQP algorithm presented in Biegler et al. [SIAM J. Optimization, Vol. 5, no. 2, pp. 314–347, 1995.] is developed in this paper into a practical method for large-scale optimization. The novelty of the algorithm lies in the incorporation of a correction vector that approximates the cross term Z^TWYp_Y. This improves the stability and robustness of the algorithm without increasing its computational cost. The paper studies how to implement the algorithm efficiently, and presents a set of tests illustrating its numerical performance. An analytic example, showing the benefits of the correction term, is also presented.

电力系统中地网腐蚀诊断的一种新的数学模型及其仿真计算

对电力系统中具有重大应用价值的地网腐蚀诊断问题抽象出仿真求解的一种新的数学模型:即求解带约束的非线性隐式方程组模型.但由于问题本身的物理特性决定了所建立的数学模型具有以下特点:一是非线性方程组为欠定方程组,而且非线性程度非常高;二是方程组的所有函数均为隐函数;三是方程组附加若干箱约束条件.这种特性给模型分析与算法设计带来巨大困难.对于欠定方程组的求解,文中根据工程实际背景,尽可能地扩充方程的个数,使之成为超定方程组,然后对欠定方程组和超定方程组分别求解并进行比较.将带约束的非线性隐函数方程组求解问题,转化为无约束非线性最小二乘问题,并采用矩阵求导等技术和各种算法设计技巧克服隐函数的计算困难,最后使用拟牛顿信赖域方法进行计算.大量的计算实例表明,文中所提出的数学模型及求解方法是可行的.与目前广泛采用的工程简化模型相比较,在模型和算法上具有很大优势.
