3 Newton s method for nonlinear systems Consider a system of two equations in two variables: { f (x, y) = 0 g(x, y) = 0. Suppose we have an approximation for a solution (x 0, y 0 ) and we would like to compute x and y so x 1 = x 0 + x and y 1 = y 0 + y satisfy the system: { f (x1, y 1 ) = f (x 0 + x, y 0 + y) = 0 g(x 1, y 1 ) = g(x 0 + x, y 0 + y) = 0. How to compute x and y? Numerical Analysis (MCS 471) Multivariate Newton s Method L-6(b) 29 June / 14

4 Taylor series in two variables f (x 0 + x, y 0 + y) = f (x 0, y 0 ) + f x (x 0, y 0 ) x + f y (x 0, y 0 ) y + g(x 0 + x, y 0 + y) = g(x 0, y 0 ) + g x (x 0, y 0 ) x + g y (x 0, y 0 ) y + where f x (x 0, y 0 ) and f y (x 0, y 0 ) are the partial derivatives of f with respect to x and y evaluated at (x 0, y 0 ); g x (x 0, y 0 ) and g y (x 0, y 0 ) are the partial derivatives of g with respect to x and y evaluated at (x 0, y 0 ); and the represent the higher order terms in the series, in ( x) 2, ( x)( y), and ( y) 2. Because x and y are already small numbers, the higher order terms are even smaller. Numerical Analysis (MCS 471) Multivariate Newton s Method L-6(b) 29 June / 14

5 in matrix format Because f (x 0 + x, y 0 + y) = 0 and g(x 0 + x, y 0 + y) = 0: 0 = f (x 0, y 0 ) + f x (x 0, y 0 ) x + f y (x 0, y 0 ) y + 0 = g(x 0, y 0 ) + g x (x 0, y 0 ) x + g y (x 0, y 0 ) y + we solve for x and y: f x (x 0, y 0 ) g x (x 0, y 0 ) f y (x 0, y 0 ) [ x g y (x y 0, y 0 ) ] [ f (x0, y = 0 ) g(x 0, y 0 ) ]. Th solution ( x, y) of the linear system updates x 0 and y 0 : x 1 := x 0 + x and y 1 := y 0 + y. Numerical Analysis (MCS 471) Multivariate Newton s Method L-6(b) 29 June / 14

6 the Jacobian matrix Given a system of n equations in m unknowns f(x) = 0, with f = (f 1, f 2,..., f n ) and x = (x 1, x 2,..., x m ), f(x) = f 1 (x 1, x 2,..., x m ) = 0 f 2 (x 1, x 2,..., x m ) = 0. f n (x 1, x 2,..., x m ) = 0, the Jacobian matrix of f is the matrix of all first order partial derivatives: f 1 f 1 f 1 x 1 x 2 x m f 2 f 2 f 2 J f = x 1 x 2 x m f n f n f n x 1 x 2 x m Numerical Analysis (MCS 471) Multivariate Newton s Method L-6(b) 29 June / 14

7 a numerical example Consider the system f(x, y) = { e x y = 0 xy e x = 0 f(1, e) = 0. Let us do one step with Newton s method, starting at (0.9, 2.5). The Jacobian matrix is [ e J f = x ] [ ] E E +0 y e x A = J x f (0.9, 2.5) = 4.0 E E 1 f(0.9, 2.5) = [ 4.0 E E 1 ] x = 1.1 E 1, x = E +0 y = 2.3 E 1, y = E +0 Numerical Analysis (MCS 471) Multivariate Newton s Method L-6(b) 29 June / 14

13 nonlinear optimization Consider the minimization of maximization of a function in n variables, x = (x 1, x 2,..., x n ). f (x 1, x 2,..., x n ) The minima and maxima occur wher the gradient vanishes. ( f f =, f,..., f ),. x 1 x 2 x n All critical points satisfy f x 1 (x) = 0 f x 2 (x) = 0. f x n (x) = 0 Numerical Analysis (MCS 471) Multivariate Newton s Method L-6(b) 29 June / 14

14 the Hessian If we take the Jacobian matrix of f x 1 (x) = 0 f x 2 (x) = 0. f x n (x) = 0 then we arrive at the second partial derivatives of f : 2 f x1 2 (x) 2 f x 2 x 1 (x). 2 f x nx 1 (x) 2 f x 1 x 2 (x) 2 f x 1 x n (x) 2 f (x) 2 f x2 2 x 2 x n (x) f x nx 2 (x) 2 f (x) xn 2 If f is continuous, then the matrix is symmetric. If close to a minimum, then the matrix is positive definite. Numerical Analysis (MCS 471) Multivariate Newton s Method L-6(b) 29 June / 14

Functions. A function is a rule that gives exactly one output number to each input number. Functions A function is a rule that gives exactly one output number to each input number. Why it is important to us? The set of all input numbers to which the rule applies is called the domain of the function.
