Abstract

We present a numerical method for solving the separable nonlinear equation A(y)z + b(y) = 0, where A(y) is an m × N matrix and b(y) is a vector, with yRn and zRN. We assume that the equation has an exact solution (y, z). We permit the matrix A(y) to be singular at the solution y and also possibly in a neighborhood of y, while the rank of the matrix A(y) near y may differ from the rank of A(y) itself. We previously developed a method for this problem for the case m = n + N, that is, when the number of equations equals the number of variables. That method, based on bordering the matrix A(y) and finding a solution of the corresponding extended system of equations, could produce a solution of the extended system that does not correspond to a solution of the original problem. Here, we develop a new quadratically convergent method that applies to the more general case mn + N and produces all of the solutions of the original system without introducing any extraneous solutions.
