MODIFIED NEWTON-NDSS METHOD FOR SOLVING NONLINEAR SYSTEM WITH COMPLEX SYMMETRIC JACOBIAN MATRICES.

An efficient iteration method is provided in this paper for solving a class of nonlinear systems whose Jacobian matrices are complex and symmetric. The modified Newton-NDSS method is developed and applied to the class of nonlinear systems by adopting the modified Newton method as the outer solver and a new double-step splitting (NDSS) iteration scheme as the inner solver. Additionally, we theoretically analyze the local convergent properties of the new method under the weaker Hölder conditions. Lastly, the new method is compared numerically with some existing ones and the numerical experiments solving the nonlinear equations demonstrate the superiority of the Newton-NDSS method.
