Extract

This paper is concerned with a generalization to n dimensions of a method for obtaining an approximation to a root of an algebraic or transcendental equation. We prove a convergence theorem for the method, and show how the method becomes of considerable practical utility in the case when the Jacobian matrix of the functions constituting the system is strictly diagonally dominant in a neighbourhood.
