Solving systems of nonlinear equations is a difficult problem in numerical computation. For most numerical methods such as the Newton's method for solving systems of nonlinear equations, their convergence and performance characteristics can be highly sensitive to the initial guess of the solution su
The present method has several steps. The first step starts for each unknown with a random value in the interval for the unknown. The second step starts at a point near the best point obtained in step one; specifically, for each unknown variable, the second step starts with a value which is, say, th
The development of an inverse first-order divided difference operator for functions of several variables, as well as a direct computation of the local order of convergence of an iterative method is presented. A generalized algorithm of the secant method for solving a system of nonlinear equations is
The procedure is conceptually simple and easy for computer programming. The shortcomings of the method will also be discussed.
