To solve an ill- (or well-) conditioned system of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations (NAEs): F(x) = 0, we define a scalar hyper-surface h(x, t) = 0 in terms of x, and a monotonically increasing scalar function Q(t) where t is a time-like variable. We define a vector R which is related to partial derivative h/partial derivative x, and a vector P which is normal to R. We define an Optimal Descent Vector (ODV): u = alpha R + beta P where alpha and beta are optimized for fastest convergence. Using this ODV [(x) over dot = lambda u], we derive an Optimal Iterative Algorithm (OIA) to solve F(x) = 0. We also propose an alternative Optimal Descent Vector [u = alpha F + beta P*] where P. is normal to F. We demonstrate the superior performance of these two alternative OIAs with ODVs to solve NAEs arising out of the weak-solutions for several ODEs and PDEs. More importantly, we demonstrate the applicability of solving simply, most efficiently, and highly accurately, the Duffing equation, using 8 harmonics in the Harmonic Balance Method to find a weak-solution in time.
