        Abstract
        In this paper we present two new schemes, one is third-order and the other is fourth-order. These are improvements of second-order methods for solving nonlinear equations and are based on the method of undetermined coefficients. We show that the fourth-order method is more efficient than the fifth-order method due to Kou et al. [J. Kou, Y. Li, X. Wang, Some modifications of Newton’s method with fifth-order covergence, J. Comput. Appl. Math., 209 (2007) 146–152]. Numerical examples are given to support that the methods thus obtained can compete with other iterative methods.

          Active Control of Adaptive Optics System in a Large Segmented Mirror Telescope 

          Nagashima, M.; Agrawal, B.N. (2012);
          For a large Adaptive Optics (AO) system such as a large Segmented Mirror Telescope (SMT), it is often difficult, although not impossible, to directly apply common Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) controller design methods ...

          Efficient computation of nonlinear transient structural synthesis for seismic isolation 

          Pearce, Cliff P. (Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-03);
          A method of structural synthesis is presented using a recursive computational process. A structure can be modeled entirely linearly, with localized nonlinearities included as synthesized forces. The method allows retention ...
