The method

Implements the Newton-Raphson-Krylov method for solving \[\vec{F}(\vec{x})=\vec{0},\] where $\vec{x}$ and $\vec{F}$ are $n$-vectors, using a Hookstep-Trust-region approach.

For each iteration, $\vec{x}_{i+1} = \vec{x}_i + \vec{\delta x}$, the linear problem \[\left.\frac{\vec{dF}}{\vec{dx}}\right|_{\vec{x}_i}\,\vec{\delta x}=-\vec{F}(\vec{x}_i) \] is solved for the step $\vec{\delta x}$ subject to the condition that it be smaller than some magnitude $\delta$, where $\delta$ is the size of the trust region. This problem is in the form $A\vec{x}=\vec{b}$, where $A$ is an $n\times n$ matrix, and is solved using the Krylov-subspace method, GMRES(m). See File:GMRESm.f90.

• Prior to calling the subroutine newtonhook(...), the arrays new_x(:) and new_fx(:) need to be allocated the dimension $n$.
• new_x(:) needs to be assigned the initial guess prior to calling newtonhook(...).
• newtonhook(...) needs to be passed functions that calculate
  • $\vec{F}(\vec{x})$,
• As the calculation proceeds, the vector new_x(:) is updated with improved vectors (smaller new_f(:)).
