Abstract

Nonlinear systems of equations of the separable form A(y)z + b(y) = 0, with only one nonlinear variable y∈ℝ, can be reduced to a single nonlinear equation in y. We develop a technique for the case in which A(y) has rank deficiency one. The method requires only one LU factorization per iteration and is quadratically convergent. Numerical examples and applications are provided.
