This research was mainly conducted to explore the possibility of formulating an efficient algorithm to find roots of nonlinear equations without using the derivative of the function. The Weerakoon-Fernando method had been taken as the base in this project to find a new method without the derivative since Weerakoon-Fernando method gives 3rd order convergence. After several unsuccessful attempts we were able to formulate the Finite Difference Weerakoon-Fernando Method (FDWFM) presented here. We noticed that the FDWFM approaches the root faster than any other existing method in the absence of the derivatives as an example, the popular nonlinear equation solver such as secant method (order of convergence is 1.618) in the absence of the derivative. And the FDWFM had three function evaluations and secant method had two function evaluations. By implementing FDWFM on nonlinear equations with complex roots and also on systems of nonlinear equations, we received very encouraging results. When applying the FDWFM to systems of nonlinear equations, we resolved the involvement of the Jacobian problem by following the procedure in the Broydens method. The computational order of convergence of the FDWFM was close to 2.5 for all these cases. This will undoubtedly provide scientists the efficient numerical algorithm, that doesnt need the derivative of the function to solve nonlinear equations, that they were searching for over centuries.

We make the split of the integral fractional Laplacian as $(-Delta)^s u=(-Delta)(-Delta)^{s-1}u$, where $sin(0,frac{1}{2})cup(frac{1}{2},1)$. Based on this splitting, we respectively discretize the one- and two-dimensional integral fractional Laplacian with the inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and give the corresponding truncation errors with the help of the interpolation estimate. Moreover, the suitable corrections are proposed to guarantee the convergence in solving the inhomogeneous fractional Dirichlet problem and an $mathcal{O}(h^{1+alpha-2s})$ convergence rate is obtained when the solution $uin C^{1,alpha}(bar{Omega}^{delta}_{n})$, where $n$ is the dimension of the space, $alphain(max(0,2s-1),1]$, $delta$ is a fixed positive constant, and $h$ denotes mesh size. Finally, the performed numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.
In this paper, we combine the nonlinear HWENO reconstruction in cite{newhwenozq} and the fixed-point iteration with Gauss-Seidel fast sweeping strategy, to solve the static Hamilton-Jacobi equations in a novel HWENO framework recently developed in cite{mehweno1}. The proposed HWENO frameworks enjoys several advantages. First, compared with the traditional HWENO framework, the proposed methods do not need to introduce additional auxiliary equations to update the derivatives of the unknown function $phi$. They are now computed from the current value of $phi$ and the previous spatial derivatives of $phi$. This approach saves the computational storage and CPU time, which greatly improves the computational efficiency of the traditional HWENO scheme. In addition, compared with the traditional WENO method, reconstruction stencil of the HWENO methods becomes more compact, their boundary treatment is simpler, and the numerical errors are smaller on the same mesh. Second, the fixed-point fast sweeping method is used to update the numerical approximation. It is an explicit method and does not involve the inverse operation of nonlinear Hamiltonian, therefore any Hamilton-Jacobi equations with complex Hamiltonian can be solved easily. It also resolves some known issues, including that the iterative number is very sensitive to the parameter $varepsilon$ used in the nonlinear weights, as observed in previous studies. Finally, in order to further reduce the computational cost, a hybrid strategy is also presented. Extensive numerical experiments are performed on two-dimensional problems, which demonstrate the good performance of the proposed fixed-point fast sweeping HWENO methods.
We develop a stable finite difference method for the elastic wave equations in bounded media, where the material properties can be discontinuous at curved interfaces. The governing equations are discretized in second order form by a fourth or sixth order accurate summation-by-parts operator. The mesh size is determined by the velocity structure of the material, resulting in nonconforming grid interfaces with hanging nodes. We use order-preserving interpolation and the ghost point technique to couple adjacent mesh blocks in an energy-conserving manner, which is supported by a fully discrete stability analysis. In numerical experiments, we demonstrate that the convergence rate is optimal, and is the same as when a globally uniform mesh is used in a single domain. In addition, with a predictor-corrector time integration method, we obtain time stepping stability with stepsize almost the same as given by the usual Courant Friedrichs Lewy condition.
Differential algebraic Riccati equations are at the heart of many applications in control theory. They are time-depent, matrix-valued, and in particular nonlinear equations that require special methods for their solution. Low-rank methods have been used heavily computing a low-rank solution at every step of a time-discretization. We propose the use of an all-at-once space-time solution leading to a large nonlinear space-time problem for which we propose the use of a Newton-Kleinman iteration. Approximating the space-time problem in low-rank form requires fewer applications of the discretized differential operator and gives a low-rank approximation to the overall solution.
The thoracic diaphragm is the muscle that drives the respiratory cycle of a human being. Using a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) that models linear elasticity we compute displacements and stresses in a two-dimensional cross section of the diaphragm in its contracted state. The boundary data consists of a mix of displacement and traction conditions. If these are imposed as they are, and the conditions are not compatible, this leads to reduced smoothness of the solution. Therefore, the boundary data is first smoothed using the least-squares radial basis function generated finite difference (RBF-FD) framework. Then the boundary conditions are reformulated as a Robin boundary condition with smooth coefficients. The same framework is also used to approximate the boundary curve of the diaphragm cross section based on data obtained from a slice of a computed tomography (CT) scan. To solve the PDE we employ the unfitted least-squares RBF-FD method. This makes it easier to handle the geometry of the diaphragm, which is thin and non-convex. We show numerically that our solution converges with high-order towards a finite element solution evaluated on a fine grid. Through this simplified numerical model we also gain an insight into the challenges associated with the diaphragm geometry and the boundary conditions before approaching a more complex three-dimensional model.
