A matrix-free quasi-Newton method for solving large-scale nonlinear systems.

One of the widely used methods for solving a nonlinear system of equations is the quasi-Newton method. The basic idea underlining this type of method is to approximate the solution of Newton’s equation by means of approximating the Jacobian matrix via quasi-Newton update. Application of quasi-Newton...
