About this ebook

This user-oriented guide describes state-of-the-art methods for nonlinear equations and shows, via algorithms in pseudocode and Julia with several examples, how to choose an appropriate iterative method for a given problem and write an efficient solver or apply one written by others.  

A sequel to the author’s Solving Nonlinear Equations with Newton’s Methods (SIAM, 2003), this book contains new material on pseudo-transient continuation, mixed-precision solvers, and Anderson acceleration. It is supported by a Julia package and a suite of Jupyter notebooks and includes examples of nonlinear problems from many disciplines.

This book is will be useful to researchers who solve nonlinear equations, students in numerical analysis, and the Julia community.
