  2. Homotopy analysis method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_analysis_method

    In the last twenty years, the HAM has been applied to solve a growing number of nonlinear ordinary/partial differential equations in science, finance, and engineering. [8] [9] For example, multiple steady-state resonant waves in deep and finite water depth [10] were found with the wave resonance criterion of arbitrary number of traveling gravity waves; this agreed with Phillips' criterion for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenberg–Marquardt...

    In mathematics and computing, the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm (LMA or just LM), also known as the damped least-squares (DLS) method, is used to solve non-linear least squares problems. These minimization problems arise especially in least squares curve fitting.

  4. Nonlinear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_programming

    If the objective function is quadratic and the constraints are linear, quadratic programming techniques are used. If the objective function is a ratio of a concave and a convex function (in the maximization case) and the constraints are convex, then the problem can be transformed to a convex optimization problem using fractional programming ...

  5. Halley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_method

    Halley's method is a numerical algorithm for solving the nonlinear equation f(x) = 0.In this case, the function f has to be a function of one real variable. The method consists of a sequence of iterations:

  6. Relaxation (iterative method) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(iterative_method)

    Relaxation methods are used to solve the linear equations resulting from a discretization of the differential equation, for example by finite differences. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Iterative relaxation of solutions is commonly dubbed smoothing because with certain equations, such as Laplace's equation , it resembles repeated application of a local ...

  7. Nonlinear conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_conjugate...

    Whereas linear conjugate gradient seeks a solution to the linear equation =, the nonlinear conjugate gradient method is generally used to find the local minimum of a nonlinear function using its gradient alone. It works when the function is approximately quadratic near the minimum, which is the case when the function is twice differentiable at ...

    Fractional programming — objective is ratio of nonlinear functions, constraints are linear; Nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) — find x such that x ≥ 0, f(x) ≥ 0 and x T f(x) = 0; Least squares — the objective function is a sum of squares Non-linear least squares; Gauss–Newton algorithm. BHHH algorithm — variant of Gauss ...

  9. Nonlinear system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_system

    In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system (or a non-linear system) is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. [1] [2] Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, [3] [4] [5] physicists, [6] [7] mathematicians, and many other scientists since most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature.
