Notes:
In general, a system of linear (or non-linear) algebraic equations is solved on an analogue computer by integrating an appropriately defined system of associated first-order differential equations, the steady-state solution of which is the desired solution of algebraic system. This approach usually works very well so long as the associated dynamical system is stable. The idea of using the same approach numerically is also not altogether new. One can, ‘analogously’, construct a dynamical system associated with a given system of non-linear algebraic equations and solve it numerically by any of a number of explicit time integration schemes. In fact, similar ideas provide the basis for certain ‘dynamic relaxation’ methods, incremental loading methods and the widely acclaimed methods of invariant imbedding.
