Abstract:
This paper presents a combined Picard-Newton scheme for iteratively solving equations. The solution process is started by performing Picard-iterations. As soon as an estimator indicates that the expected convergence rate of the Newton-strategy is close to quadratic, Newton-iterations take over the solution process. This hybrid approach yields a shorter overall computation time. The method is illustrated for the two-dimensional simulation of the short-circuit operation of a 400 kW induction motor.
