We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
The numerical solution of nonlinear problems is usually connected with Newton's method. Due to its computational cost, variants (so-called quasi-Newton methods) have been developed in which the arising inverse of the Jacobian is replaced by an approximation. In this article we present a new approach which is based on Broyden updates. Instead of updating the inverse we introduce a method which constructs updates of the
Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of this new approach.
