Solving nonlinear equations with the convex combination of two positive spectral coefficients

Abstract

We present a spectral algorithm based on the convex combination of two modified spectral coefficients for solving systems of nonlinear equations. The proposed algorithm does not require the exact or approximated directional derivative for its implementation. By employing a derivative-free line search, the global convergence of the sequence generated by the algorithm is supported. Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the performance of the algorithm compared with a similar algorithm in the literature for solving nonlinear equations problems.
