Testing the Domino Method of General Integer/Continuous/Mixed Nonlinear Programming with Brown’s Almost Linear System of 5000 Equations/Unknowns

Jsun Yui Wong

"Solving systems of nonlinear equations is perhaps the most difficult problem in all of numerical computations," Rice [7, 1993, p. 355].

"We make an extreme, but wholly defensible, statement: There are no good, general methods for solving systems of more than one nonlinear equation. Furthermore, it is not hard to see why (very likely) there never will be any good, general methods," Press, Teukolsky, Vetterling, and Flannery [6, 2007, p. 473].

"Solving a system of nonlinear equations is a problem that is avoided where possible, customarily by approximating the nonlinear system by a system of linear equations.  When this is unsatisfactory, the problem must be tackled directly," Burden, Faires, and Burden [1, 2016, page 642].

Using qb64v1000-win [8], the following computer program seeks to solve simultaneously Brown's almost linear system of 5000 equations; see Morgan [5, page 15],  Floudas [2, page 660], and Han and Han [3, page 227, Example 3].   While line 94 and line 128 of the preceding paper are 94 A(KK) = RND * 5 and 128 FOR I = 1 TO 400000 STEP 1, respectively, here line 94 and line 128 are 94 A(KK) = RND * 3 and 128 FOR I = 1 TO 2000000 STEP 1, respectively.

    16 M = -1D+17


    91 FOR KK = 1 TO 5000


        94 A(KK) = RND * 3


    95 NEXT KK

    128 FOR I = 1 TO 2000000 STEP 1



        129 FOR K = 1 TO 5000


            131 X(K) = A(K)
        132 NEXT K

        155 FOR IPP = 1 TO FIX(1 + RND * 3)
            181 B = 1 + FIX(RND * 5000)



            183 R = (1 - RND * 2) * A(B)

            187 IF RND < .25 THEN X(B) = A(B) + RND * R ELSE IF RND < .333 THEN X(B) = A(B) + RND ^ 4 * R ELSE IF RND < .5 THEN X(B) = A(B) + RND ^ 7 * R ELSE X(B) = CINT(A(B))

        191 NEXT IPP


        301 prodd = 1



        305 FOR j55 = 2 TO 5000



            311 prodd = prodd * X(j55)


        321 NEXT j55

        371 IF prodd < .00001 THEN 1670


        389 X(1) = (1) / prodd


        501 summ = 0
        505 FOR j27 = 1 TO 5000


            511 summ = summ + X(j27)

        521 NEXT j27



        901 DIFF = 0


        905 FOR J77 = 1 TO 4999


            911 DIFF = DIFF - ABS(X(J77) + summ - 5001)


        921 NEXT J77


        995 P = DIFF


        1451 IF P <= M THEN 1670
        1657 FOR KEW = 1 TO 5000



            1658 A(KEW) = X(KEW)
        1659 NEXT KEW
        1661 M = P
    1670 NEXT I
    1890 IF M < -.00001 THEN 1999


    1912 PRINT A(1), A(2), A(3)
    1915 PRINT A(4), A(5), A(6)


    1917 PRINT A(7), A(8), A(9)


    1930 PRINT A(4991), A(4992), A(4993)


    1931 PRINT A(4994), A(4995), A(4996)

    1933 PRINT A(4997), A(4998), A(4999)

    1939 PRINT A(5000), M, JJJJ
1999 NEXT JJJJ

This computer program was run with qb64v1000-win [8]. Copied by hand from the screen, the computer program’s complete output through JJJJ= -31996 is shown below.

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

Of the 5000 values for the 5000 unknowns, only the 19 A's of line 1912 through line 1939 of the computer program above 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 [8], the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through JJJJ= -31996 was 80 minutes.
