%0 Journal Article %T A Rank-One Fitting Method with Descent Direction for Solving Symmetric Nonlinear Equations %A Gonglin YUAN %A Zhongxing WANG %A Zengxin WEI %J Int'l J. of Communications, Network and System Sciences %P 555-561 %@ 1913-3723 %D 2009 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/ijcns.2009.26061 %X In this paper, a rank-one updated method for solving symmetric nonlinear equations is proposed. This method possesses some features: 1) The updated matrix is positive definite whatever line search technique is used; 2) The search direction is descent for the norm function; 3) The global convergence of the given method is established under reasonable conditions. Numerical results show that the presented method is interesting. %K Rank-One Update %K Global Convergence %K Nonlinear Equations %K Descent Direction %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=699
