Modified deflation algorithm for the solution of singular problems. I. A system of nonlinear algebraic equations (Q579853)

A new practical algorithm called modified deflation algorithm for the determination of the singular root of a system of nonlinear algebraic equations is proposed. The basic idea is to replace a part of the original equations by a set of new equations which pass through the singular root but have a non-singular Jacobian at the root. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method. Moreover it is shown that in some cases the singular roots may be obtained analytically since the original equations are reduced by the deflation algorithm to a more simple system.
