The Domino Method Applied to Solving a System of 15719 Nonlinear Equations from a Discrete Boundary Value Problem

Jsun Yui Wong

The following computer program seeks to solve the system of nonlinear equations of the discrete boundary value problem on page 29 of La Cruz, Martinez, and Raydan [7, p. 29, Test function 41, Discrete boundary value problem]–http://www.ime.unicamp.br/~martinez/lmrreport.pdf. Also see More, Garbow, and Hillstrom [11]. The present case has 15719 nonlinear equations and 15719 continuous variables.

One notes line 93, which comes from La Cruz, Martinez, and Raydan [7, p. 29] and is 93 A(KK) = (h * (KK * h – 1)).

This computer program was run with qb64v1000-win [16]. Copied by hand from the screen, the computer program’s output through JJJJ= -32000 is summarized below.

-2.15837432252094D-17       …       …
…       …       …
…       …       …
…       -8.376606895933208D-10       -1.43076820705172D-09
-5.6761614663639D-08       -32000

Above there is no rounding by hand; it is just straight copying by hand from the screen.

Of the 15719 unknowns, only three of the twelve A’s of line 1912 through line 1947 are shown above.

On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM and with qb64v1000-win [16], the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through JJJJ= -32000 was five hours.
