Abstract: One of the main problems dealing with iterative methods for solving polynomial systemsis the initialization of the iteration. This paper provides an algorithm to initialize the search of solutions of polynomial systems. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
Abstract: In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving the obstacle problem. We try tofind the approximated region of the contact in the obstacle problem by iteration. Numerical examples are given for the obstacle problem for a membrane and the elastic-plastic torsion problem. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
