A new filled function method for an unconstrained nonlinear equation

In this paper, we transform an unconstrained system of nonlinear equations into a special optimization problem. A new filled function is constructed by employing the special properties of the transformed optimization problem. Theoretical and numerical properties of the proposed filled function are investigated and a solution of the algorithm is proposed. Under some conditions, we can find a solution or an approximate solution to the system of nonlinear equations in finite iterations. The implementation of the algorithm on six test problems is reported with satisfactory numerical results.
