Newton–Krylov methods are numerical methods for solving non-linear problems using Krylov subspace linear solvers. [1] [2] Generalising the Newton method to systems of multiple variables, the iteration formula includes a Jacobian matrix. Solving this directly would involve calculation of the Jacobian's inverse, when the Jacobian matrix itself ...
The Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is a semi-analytical method for solving ordinary and partial nonlinear differential equations.The method was developed from the 1970s to the 1990s by George Adomian, chair of the Center for Applied Mathematics at the University of Georgia. [1]
Newton's method for solving f(x) = 0 uses the Jacobian matrix, J, at every iteration. However, computing this Jacobian can be a difficult and expensive operation; for large problems such as those involving solving the Kohn–Sham equations in quantum mechanics the number of variables can be in the hundreds of thousands. The idea behind Broyden ...

Relaxation methods were developed for solving large sparse linear systems, which arose as finite-difference discretizations of differential equations. [2] [3] They are also used for the solution of linear equations for linear least-squares problems [4] and also for systems of linear inequalities, such as those arising in linear programming.
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.

SciPy (de facto standard for scientific Python) has scipy.optimize solver, which includes several nonlinear programming algorithms (zero-order, first order and second order ones). IPOPT (C++ implementation, with numerous interfaces including C, Fortran, Java, AMPL, R, Python, etc.) is an interior point method solver (zero-order, and optionally ...
For highly nonlinear or unstable ODEs, this requires the initial guess y 0 to be extremely close to an actual but unknown solution y a. Initial values that are chosen slightly off the true solution may lead to singularities or breakdown of the ODE solver method. Choosing such solutions is inevitable in an iterative root-finding method, however.
