TY - GEN A1 - Nowak, Ulrich A1 - Weimann, Lutz T1 - GIANT - A Software Package for the Numerical Solution of Very Large Systems of Highly Nonlinear Equations. N2 - This report presents the final realization and implementation of a global inexact Newton method proposed by Deuflhard. In order to create a complete piece of software, a recently developed iterative solver (program GBIT) due to Deuflhard, Freund, Walter is adapted and serves as the standard iterative linear solver. Alternative linear iterative solvers may be adapted as well, e.g. the widely distributed code GMRES. The new software package GIANT (Global Inexact Affine Invariant Newton Techniques) allows an efficient and robust numerical solution of very large scale highly nonlinear systems. Due to the user friendly interface and its modular design, the software package is open for an easy adaptation to specific problems. Numerical experiments for some selected problems illustrate performance and usage of the package.

N2 - This report presents new codes for the numerical solution of highly nonlinear systems. They realize the most recent variants of affine invariant Newton Techniques due to Deuflhard. The standard method is implemented in the code NLEQ1, whereas the code NLEQ2 contains a rank reduction device additionally. The code NLEQ1S is the sparse version of NLEQ1, i.e. the arising linear systems are solved with sparse matrix techniques. Within the new implementations a common design of the software in view of user interface and internal modularization is realized. Numerical experiments for some rather challenging examples illustrate robustness and efficiency of algorithm and software.
