Is it possible to use a fixed point iteration for solving this nonlinear system?

Consider the following differential equation \begin{align} \frac{\partial f(u)}{\partial x} &= g(x), \ \ x\in [x_{L},x_{R}] \label{Eq2.2} \\ u(x_{L}) &= g_{1} \end{align} where $f(u)$ is a ...

Minimax optimization with an oracle

I have an optimization problem of the following form: $$\min_y\left[\max_x f(x,y)\right].$$ It is fairly straightforward to minimize $f(x,y)$ over $y$ with $x$ fixed, and similarly to maximize $f(x,...

Fixed-point iteration when image and domain are not the same

I have a function $f(x)$ defined on a domain $D$, but such that the image $f(D)$ may contain extra regions not included in its domain. I am interested in solving the fixed-point equation $x=f(x)$. If ...

Right-preconditioning and fixed point linear iterations

Given a linear system $A\textbf{x}=\textbf{b}$, we can express it into the easier-to-solve right-preconditioned form: $$ AM^{-1}\textbf{y}=\textbf{b}, \quad \textbf{y}= M\textbf{x} $$ On the other ...

Fixed point iteration reduction factor

In a book for solving a nonlinear differential equation with $N+1$ points, $u_{xx} = e^{u}, u(-1)=u(1) = 0$, in $[-1,1]$ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, the fixed point iteration is ...

Calculating fixed point inside limit cycle

So I'm working with a rather complicated dynamical system. Instead of writing it all out. It's probably easier if you just clone my git repository. ...
