A more direct and better variant of New Q-Newton's method Backtracking for m equations in m variables
Abstract
In this paper we apply the ideas of New Q-Newton's method directly to a system of equations, utilising the specialties of the cost function , where . The first algorithm proposed here is a modification of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, where we prove some new results on global convergence and avoidance of saddle points. The second algorithm proposed here is a modification of New Q-Newton's method Backtracking, where we use the operator instead of . This new version is more suitable than New Q-Newton's method Backtracking itself, while currently has better avoidance of saddle points guarantee than Levenberg-Marquardt algorithms. Also, a general scheme for second order methods for solving systems of equations is proposed. We will also discuss a way to avoid that the limit of the constructed sequence is a solution of but not of .
