ABSTRACT

Many    algorithms  have  been   proposed  for  solving
systems    of    nonlinear   equations.    This   paper
examines  the   L1  minimization  technique designed by
Bartels  and Conn  (and extended by  Busovaca to handle
degeneracy)   and   investigates its use as a nonlinear
system  solver.    The  performance of the algorithm is
compared   to   such  traditional  methods  as  Brown's
algorithm and Powell's Hybrid algorithm.
