Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method which could be considered as a modification of the @D^k-method introduced for solving nonlinear fixed point problems. At each iteration of the new scheme, we evaluate the @D^k steplength once and we use it twice. Various numerical results illustrate the efficiency of the new scheme. They concern the solution of a reaction-diffusion problem which exhibits a bifurcation. An additional example, involving a mixture of Poisson distributions, will be given and suggest that the new scheme could be adapted with success for an important statistical problem called the expectation-maximization problem.
