Abstract
This paper studies the flow of an incompressible, constant density micropolar fluid past a stretching sheet. The governing boundary layer equations of the flow are solved numerically using a globally convergent homotopy method in conjunction with a least change secant update quasi-Newton algorithm. The flow pattern depends on three non-dimensional parameters. Some interesting results are illustrated graphically and discussed.

Numerical linear algebra aspects of globally convergent homotopy methods

Layne T. Watson
- 01 Dec 1986 - 
TL;DR: Probability one homotopy algorithms as mentioned in this paper are a class of methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations that are globally convergent with probability one, and if constructed and implemented properly, are robust, numerically stable, accurate, and practical.

A globally convergent algorithm for computing fixed points of C2 maps

TL;DR: Chow, Mallet-Paret, and Yorke have recently proposed an algorithm for computing Brouwer fixed points of C^2 maps as discussed by the authors, and a numerical implementation of that algorithm is presented here.
