-- simeq_newton.adb solve nonlinear system of equations -- method: newton iteration using Jacobian -- -- Given problem A X = Y where x may have terms x1, x2, x3, x4, x1*x2, x3*x4 -- A is 6 by 6 matrix of reals (could be complex) -- Y is vector of reals (could be complex) -- independent unknowns are x1, x2, x3, x4 -- -- for testing, generate A using pseudo random numbers -- choose x1=1.1 x2=1.2 x3=1.4 x4 =1.5, compute x1*x2, x3*x4 -- compute terms of Y using Y = A X -- -- Solve by initial guess at values of x1, x2, x3, x4 computing x1*x2, x3*x4 -- X_next = X_initial - J_initial^-1 * (A * X_initial - Y) -- in general X_next = X_prev - (J_prev^-1 * (A * X_prev - Y))*b -- where 0 < b < 1, often 0.5, for stability -- -- solved when abs sum each row A * X_next -Y < epsilon -- -- It may stall, stop if abs(X_next-X_prev)
