A two-step fifth and a multi-step 5+3r order iterative method are derived, r≥1 for finding the solution of system of nonlinear equations. The new two-step fifth order method requires two functions, two first order derivatives, and the multi-step methods needs a additional function per step. The performance of this method has been tested with finding solutions to several test problems then applied to solving pseudorange nonlinear equations on Global Navigation Satellite Signal (GNSS). To solve the problem, at least four satellite’s measurements are needed to locate the user position and receiver time offset. In this work, a number of satellites from 4 to 8 are considered such that the number of equations is more than the number of unknown variables to calculate the user position. Moreover, the Geometrical Dilution of Precision (GDOP) values are computed based on the satellite selection algorithm (fuzzy logic method) which could be able to bring the best suitable combination of satellites. We have restricted the number of satellites to 4 to 6 for solving the pseudorange equations to get better GDOP value even after increasing the number of satellites beyond six also yields a 0.4075 GDOP value. Actually, the conventional methods utilized in the position calculation module of the GNSS receiver typically converge with six iterations for finding the user position whereas the proposed method takes only three iterations which really decreases the computation time which provide quicker position calculation. A practical study was done to evaluate the computation efficiency index (CE) and efficiency index (IE) of the new model. From the simulation outcomes, it has been noted that the new method is more efficient and converges 33% faster than the conventional iterative methods with good accuracy of 92%.

Based on iterative methods without memory of eighth-order convergence proposed by Thukral (2012), some iterative methods with memory and high efficiency index are presented. We show that the order of convergence is increased without any additional function evaluations. Numerical comparisons are made to show the performance of the presented methods.

We consider a system of nonlinear equationsF(x)=0. A new iterative method for solving this problem numerically is suggested. The analytical discussions of the method are provided to reveal its sixth order of convergence. A discussion on the efficiency index of the contribution with comparison to the other iterative methods is also given. Finally, numerical tests illustrate the theoretical aspects using the programming package Mathematica.

Modifications are proposed to the Davidenko-Broyden algorithm for the solution of a system of nonlinear equations. The aim of the modifications is to reduce the overall number of function evaluations by limiting the number of function evaluations for any one subproblem. To do this alterations are made to the strategy used in determining the subproblems to be solved. The modifications are compared with other methods for a wide range of test problems, and are shown to significantly reduce the number of function evaluations for the difficult problems. For the easier problems the modified method is equivalent to the Davidenko-Broyden algorithm.

A variant method for solving system of nonlinear equations is presented. This method use the special form of iteration with two step length parameters, we suggest a derivative-free method without computing the Jacobian via acceleration parameter as well as inexact line search procedure. The proposed method is proven to be globally convergent under mild condition. The preliminary numerical comparison reported in this paper using a large scale benchmark test problems show that the proposed method is practically quite effective.

In this paper, a class of efficient iterative methods with increasing order of convergence for solving systems of nonlinear equations is developed and analyzed. The methodology uses well-known third-order Potra–Pták iteration in the first step and Newton-like iterations in the subsequent steps. Novelty of the methods is the increase in convergence order by an amount three per step at the cost of only one additional function evaluation. In addition, the algorithm uses a single inverse operator in each iteration, which makes it computationally more efficient and attractive. Local convergence is studied in the more general setting of a Banach space under suitable assumptions. Theoretical results of convergence and computational efficiency are verified through numerical experimentation. Comparison of numerical results indicates that the developed algorithms outperform the other similar algorithms available in the literature, particularly when applied to solve the large systems of equations. The basins of attraction of some of the existing methods along with the proposed method are given to exhibit their performance.

We present a family of fourteenth-order convergent iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations involving a specific step which when combined with any two-step iterative method raises the convergence order by n+10, if n is the order of convergence of the two-step iterative method. This new class include four evaluations of function and one evaluation of the first derivative per iteration. Therefore, the efficiency index of this family is 141/5 =1.695218203. Several numerical examples are given to show that the new methods of this family are comparable with the existing methods.

We present a novel filled function approach to solve box-constrained system of nonlinear equations. The system is first transformed into an equivalent nonsmooth global minimization problem, and then a new filled function method is proposed to solve this global optimization problem. Numerical experiments on several test problems are conducted and the computational results are also reported.

In this research, an improved differential evolution algorithm with a restart technique (DE-R) is designed for solutions of systems of nonlinear equations which often occurs in solving complex computational problems involving variables of nonlinear models. DE-R adds a new strategy for mutation operation and a restart technique to prevent premature convergence and stagnation during the evolutionary search to the basic DE algorithm. The proposed method is evaluated on various real world and synthetic problems and compared with the recently developed methods in the literature. Experiment results show that DE-R can successfully solve all the test problems with fast convergence speed and give high quality solutions. It also outperforms the compared methods.
