ABSTRACT
The main topics discussed herein involve (1) an initial brief exploration of the original Newtonmethod-based code of Press et al. [1], (2) a C++-oriented transformation of the Newton-methodbased code, (3) the addition of the C++-oriented Newton-method-based code into the DiagramEng project to allow the iterative solution of (23.1) to obtain signal values for diagrams involving feedback loops, (4) a discussion of convergence of the Newton method, and (5) testing of the Newtonmethod-based code, when computing a model diagram involving at least one feedback loop, using six case studies.
