Quasi-Newton interior point method for solving nonlinear system of equations with box constraints
摘要
System of nonlinear equations under some kind of constraints is a major problem that appears in numerical analysis which often raises interesting challenges. Its applications can be seen in engineering, economic sciences, biology and other applied sciences. In some applications, the derivative of the nonlinear equations are not available or the dimensions is so huge that Jacobian evaluations directly are prohibitive. In this paper we deal with nonlinear systems of equations with box constraints, that is, the solution must respect some bounds (lower and upper bounds). We propose an algorithm based on an affine-scaling matrix (devised by Coleman and Li in Math. Programm. 67, 189–224,
