Systems of nonlinear algebraic equations with unique solution (Q2256957)

Let an algebraic system of the form \(F(x)=Ax+p\), \(x \in \mathbb{R}_+^n,\) where \(A\) is a positive matrix and \(p\) a given nonnegative vector. It is proved that a positive solution \(x^*\) exists and that it is unique. The solution \(x^*\) is an attraction point for three Newton-type method which is also proved in this paper. A numerical experiment which illustrates the computing times for such iterations is given. Previously known results, involving existence and uniqueness of solutions for particular functions \(F\) and matrices \(A\), are extended and generalized.
