Abstract:


Various nonlinear equation solvers are adapted to handle linear constraints via
the Lagrange-multiplier technique. This adaptation process turns out to be quite
straightforward for Newton-Raphson methods and rank-two Quasi-Newton methods (BFGS
and DFP), but rather more involved for Broyden method. In fact, two Broyden methods
can be obtained: the standard one and a modified one, better adapted to the Lagrange-multiplier
environment. Some numerical examples are used to assess the relative performance
of the various adapted solvers.
